📋 About This Mod

Detect Dropped Weapon    0. 5

Description This mod helps to clean up the weapons that enemy have dropped.

Details After installing, you will get the ring "Dropped Weapon Detecting Ring" and the holotepe "Dropped Weapon Detecting Program" automatically in game. If you couldn't get or lost these items, you can craft at Chemistry stations.

How to Use "Dropped Weapon Detecting Ring" When you want to clean up the cells around the sole survivor, equip the ring. After equiping, the quest "Dropped Weapon : Ring" is displayed under the section "Miscellaneous" of the Pip-Boy. When you activate this quest, a quest marker is displayed on dropped weapon. Pick up a dropped weapon with the help of a marker, untill you are satisfied. After cleaning, unequip the ring. And travel the other place to clean up.

"Dropped Weapon Detecting Program" When you want to clean up, load the holotape into the Pip-Boy or terminals. After loading, you will be able to show following menus. And you can command some tasks. <Entry Menu>               :run the program and try to detect         :show the main menu during the program running                :stop the program

<Main Menu>             :detect dropped weapon (When this command is executed, previously information of detected weapon is destructed.)               :mark on dropped weapon (The quest "Dropped Weapon : Holo" is displayed under the section "Miscellaneous")          :play an effect shader on dropped weapon    :transfer all of the detected weapon to the Sole Survivor or Active Companion or Dogmeat          :destruct a current information of detected weapon             :return to entry menu

Attention Detection range is proportional to "uGridsToLoad(Fallout4Custom.ini)". When you can't see a weapon under a marker, its weapon dived to the ground. To solve this case, you need to use console command "tcl" or . The commands and are displayed only when they accompany you. Transfering works well in Vanilla, but I don't know whether or not it works well with Companion MOD.
