📋 About This Mod
Dreadsharks of the Commonwealth was a mod that was removed from Nexus, but I've held onto it for awhile now.
I got around to asking Zuzuluk if I could reupload it, and the answer was yes~
Here you go!
Mod adds a new faction to the Commonwealth called Dreadshark with unique loot. You'll see them sprinkled throughout the Commonwealth!
No need to worry about a patch for Random Encounter Framework, as the spawns are hand placed (Glitchfinder approved)~
Mod comes in 2 versions: Reuploaded and Redux
Reuploaded version is the untouched classic.
Redux version includes the following:
-
[]Updated textures and 2 new variants (Stripers and Legendary), thanks to HappoMatka! Dreadsharks have now seen some shit![/]
[]NEW!!! Updated integration as well as a slew of other improvements, including an ESL-flagged plugin, thanks to lexinight![/]
Installation:
If using Reuploaded version, choose from loose files or BA2 (only 1) and install via your favorite mod manager.
If using the Redux version, choose from loose files or BA2 (only 1) and install via your favorite mod manager.
Install the Update file if using Redux version and let it overwrite the esp of the main file.
PLANS:
A Dreadshark companion.
NOTE: The OG version of the mod introduces a small "raider camp" at the edge of concord, right from the church and after the line of houses on the right towards the drumlin diner.Credits of course go to Zuzuluk for allowing me to post this and for creating it! :D
