📋 About This Mod

LIST OF CHANGES

  • []Fixes bugs from the base mod:

-The "polished short barrel" now references the correct material file, so it looks different than the "polished sawed off barrel"

Was using F4NV\Weapons\CaravanShotgun\ShotgunBarrelShort.nif

Now uses F4NV\Weapons\CaravanShotgun\ShotgunBarrelMedium.nif

-The material mods now have the correct MISC items associated with them, so they no longer have to be remade after being unequipped.

-Fixed bug where the "calibrated powerful receiver" ("calibrated quality receiver" in FROST) made the gun spawn with two sight attachment slots

  • []Balances and renames the receivers, and alters weapon damage to coincide with FROST's weapon balance changes.

    []Changed material recipes to make them more logical.

    []The pre-war material can no longer be crafted, but instead must be found in the wasteland. Also, it slightly improves recoil.

    []The shotgun will now spawn with a random material

    []De-leveled the modcols and increased the chance of finding a weapon with poor attachments / materials.

-The gun can be found at any level with any attachments, but the odds of finding one with good attachments are low.

  • []Hair trigger receiver now requires Gun Nut 02

    []Decreased Critical Damage Multiplier consistent with FROST Official Updates (Redux)

    []Edit stats on stocks to create trade-offs between various options

    This mod is an .esl flagged .esp file, so it won't take up a mod slot.

    The replacer version replaces the vanilla Double Barrel Shotgun with the Caravan Shotgun and disables the LL inject script from the original mod.
