Freeze Ray

This rinky dink little experiment is something I slapped together easy peesy using FO4Edit (i.e. I swapped around vanilla game assets by copying & pasting; it took me longer to prepare this post and upload the files) and is really more of a "proof of concept" item than a real mod, based on a forum request I made a couple of months back.  I've always liked freeze rays and cold guns out of the old pulp magazines, books and not-so-old comics and this little number is just my way of taking a swing at the idea.

Starting with the alien blaster, I altered the damage, damage-type and ammo capacity.  I gave it the Institute's blue laser beam and the cryolator's freezing effects and frost impact decals - which wouldn't have been nearly as, um... cool... without assets from NightShade's Cryolator - Ball Projectile and Hit Decal Retexture mod (used here with permission of course).  If you use the cryolator at all or just wanna see a real modder's work then download, endorse and donate.
