📋 About This Mod
SilentFentanyl back with Another Amazing Mod That Will Make You Reinstall Fallout 4, unfortunately not sponsored by FN Herstal. I made the baby version, now you guys get the big brother of the SCAR-L.
The mod adds the FN SCAR-H to Gunners and stores at level 25.
You're gonna think this is strange.
You're gonna think I've been kidnapped and replaced.
I've reduced the number of attachments mostly because I don't think people really care. I think they're more concerned with variety, not whether or not a mod has 6 red dot sights in it. In any case, there's still a lot of attachments, and a couple more with the extra pack, but I think you'll manage with the reduction.
Things to Note
THIS REQUIRES Merged RootBehavior BY FX0x01 TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. DOWNLOAD THAT FIRST!
LOAD THE SCAR-L ESP AFTER THE SCAR-H's! OTHERWISE IT BORKS THE SCAR-L ANIMATIONS! I DON'T KNOW WHY!
Yeah, this seriously reuses SCAR-L animations with a tweaked reload.
There is no seamless scope switching. This means that for the backup sights you see in the screenshots, there is no way to switch between the two as seen in Call of Duty or Tarkov. You would have to remove the mount and backup sight to go back to using the original scope.
This mod has a lot of attach points for customization. It will more than likely bother some of you, but you can't have a lot of customization without a lot of menu scrolling.
Related to the above point, don't complain about the mod size. If you want to reduce it yourself, learn how to use Archive2, BAE, idk something
No risers this time. I don't think they fit on a gun like this (though someone at some point will show me a cagged out SCAR-H with a riser on it)
No uniques because lazy
Some attachment and accessory combos will inevitably clip.
I learned from my previous mistake. All cosmetics are free to craft, but they'll still weigh you down a tiny bit.
Credits
(Please read the SCAR-L description for attachment credits. I've reused most things from that mod).
