📋 About This Mod

The . 500 Nitro Express Double Barrel Rifle is considered the best rifle out there for Big Game Hunting. Although it does not have the range of a sniper rifle, it highlights its possibility of a quick second shot, making it ideal for hunting large mutated monsters.

Also is featured a Side-by-Side Shotgun, that uses the same model as the DBR.

(video by esteva2103, the sounds still are v1. 2 here)

CUSTOMIZATION:

7 Receivers

2 Firing Modes (single trigger, both triggers)

3 Ammo Types (. 500 NE, . 500 NE RAD and . 500 NE HE) (the shotgun have 4 custom ammo)

6 Optic Options (the 2x Scope with full customization)

3 Stock Colors

4 Extra Damage Modifiers (0%, 25%, 50% and 100%)

WHERE TO FIND?:

-Both weapons and the ammunition are injected in the leveled lists via scripts. Anyway, it is kinda a rare weapon (bosses and weapon vendors).

-The . 500 NE ammo can be crafted in the chemistry workbench under "utility" only if you already have the rifle.

-You can also find one DBR here:-You can also use the command console, just type:

help "double barrel rifle" 4 weap (for the double barrel rifle´s ID number)

help "side shotgun" 4 weap (for the side by side shotgun´s ID number)

additem thatIDnumber

For ammunition it is similar:

help "500" 4 ammo

additem thatIDnumber 999 (the amount of ammo you want).

MOD SUPPORT:

-Horizon support here: Chrislor's Horizon 1. 9 Patches

-Includes support for Caliber Complex (patch in optional files)

-Includes support for Tactical Reload (patch in optional files)

EXTRA NOTES AND KNOW ISSUES:

-This mod has custom animations, but for power armors it will use vanilla anims, so some things may be bit off.

-There are 2 animations that are still from 1. 1v (vanilla anims adapted): The reload in 3P and the idle gun down in 1P. The reason is due to technical problems with some unwanted movement, but are uploaded as an optional file in case you prefer them (now in old files section).

-There is no "unique" version, but you can make your own unique with this mod (or some other that does this).

-Other cool mod I recommend is Sniper Scope Overlay.

-Fallout 4 1. 10. 163+ is required, it will not work properly with older versions.

-Add screenshots if you want, they are very welcome!
