📋 About This Mod

LIST OF CHANGES

  • []Balances and renames the upper receivers, lower receivers and trigger mechanisms to coincide with FROST's receiver changes.

    []Renamed the 9mm receiver to . 38 receiver. The original mod's 9mm receiver is actually chambered in . 38, not 9mm.

    []Removed or renamed stickers and paints for factions that don't exist in FROST's timeline.

    []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.

  • []De-leveled modcols of the Bayonet Knife and edited its stats to resemble those of the vanilla Combat Knife

    []Added a craftable Reflex Sight with no zoom

    []The SOF Mask and the Attachments Magazine that allows the marksman receivers to be crafted can be found at an important location along one of the FROST storylines (no spoilers).

    []The stickers magazine can be found in the Downtown Metro.

    []The unique variants have been disabled. Most of them are OP or don't coincide with FROST lore.

    []The LL inject script was edited to make the weapon appear on Survivors, Federation, Alliance, and US Army Remnants.

    The replacer version replaces the vanilla Assault Rifle with the Service Rifle and the LL inject script from the original mod is disabled. Also, loading screens will no longer display the vanilla Assault Rifle.

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

    There is an optional file under the "FILES" tab to make the 9mm receivers use 9mm ammo.

    The 9mm addon requires Deadpool2099's 9mm Pistol (Browning Hi-Power) Redux and Proper FROST - 9mm Pistol Patch and Replacer.

    Credit to two of the best mod authors, Naugrim04 and Deadpool2099 for creating FROST and the Service Rifle, respectively.

    Thanks to RedMetalShield for agreeing to collaborate. Without their knowledge of the CK and scripting, this mod would not be as elegantly implemented as it currently is.
