📋 About This Mod

LIST OF CHANGES

  • []Balances and renames the receivers and increases base damage to coincide with FROST's weapon balance changes

    []Reduced critical damage multiplier consistent with FROST Official Updates (Redux)

    []Edited aim model consistent with FROST Official Updates (Redux): no automatic recoil recovery

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

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

  • []The gun can now be found with the pristine skin, but it is rare

    []The tape and skin mods now have MISC items associated with them, so they no longer have to be remade after being unequippe

    []Balanced various attachment crafting recipes

    []Edited the note to make it lore-friendly for FROST

    []Removed the legendary enchantments from Blue Betty, but it can still be found in its original location and it does a slightly more damage than the normal M1 Garand

    []Balanced the damage of the Bayonet Knife

    []De-leveled the Bayonet Knife leveled lists

    []"This Machine" is no longer obtainable

    In the non-replacer version, the gun can be found on Alliance, Federation, Survivors, and vendors. It can also be found in some containers.

    In the replacer version the vanilla Pipe Bolt Action is replaced by the M1 Garand and the gun is injected into the Federation leveled list.

    The Pipe Revolver and Pipe Gun will still show up because the Pipe Bolt Action (. 308), Pipe Gun (. 38), and Pipe Revolver (. 45) are 3 separate weapons.

    If you want to replace the Pipe Revolver as well use FROST - . 45 Auto Pistol Patch and Replacer

    If you want to replace the Pipe Gun as well use FROST - Grease Gun Patch and Replacer or FROST - PP-91 KEDR Patch and Replacer

    In the replacer version, load screens no longer display or reference pipe weapons.

    Only download ONE of the files under the "FILES" tab

    Both versions provided are .esl flagged .esp files to keep you under your plug-in limit.

    REQUIRED MODS

    M1 Garand- A WWII Classic
