📋 About This Mod
Ever felt like the minutemen were too badass for the crappy guns they were carrying? Wanted them to use something more hefty? Do you just like heavy, niche or otherwise antique guns? If you answered yes to any of those, then this mod is for you!!! This mod presents the gatling gun, an extensively customizable motorized rotary cannon.
This mod was developed from another mod of mine: Gatling Gun - Settlement object. I still recommend it if you wish to decorate your settlement with gatling guns.
The gatling gun is chambered in . 45-70, meaning that while ammo is scarce, it packs a mean punch. It does three times the pershot damage of the vanilla minigun but only has a third of the fire rate. It is extremely heavy, being 60 pounds at it's base, able to double that weight with the appropriate attachments. It will start spawning at level 30 on minutemen and level 35 on vendors. Comes with a total of 16 attachments:
Barrels - Standard, Fluted, Suppressed, Heavy
Sights - Standard, Iron, Reflex, Short Scope
Crane - Standard, Cap, Muzzled, Shielded
Underbarrel - None, Wheels, Shield, Extended Drum

COMPATIBILITY
This mod shouldn't conflict with any other mod. It will however be affected by vanilla weapon retextures since it reuses minigun, pipe, combat shotgun and . 44 textures. I very much recommend gmoid6's pipe gun retexture.
The gun is also compatible with any CC paint, but the mod was not intended to use them so don't expect full compatibility
Only required DLC is Far Harbor for the ammo.
The mod file is also marked as ESL so it won't take a plugin slot.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 770 endorsements and over 362k downloads — clearly a hit.
- Adds a classic heavy weapon that fits the wasteland aesthetic.
- Recent update (May 2024) suggests the mod is still being maintained.
⚠️ Cons
- Only one weapon added — if you want a full arsenal, this is just a single piece.
- Potential compatibility issues with other weapon mods that alter leveled lists or use similar ammo types.
For Fallout 4 players who want a powerful, lore-friendly heavy weapon to mow down raiders and super mutants. If you're a heavy weapons build enthusiast or just like collecting unique guns, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for a full weapon pack or extensive customizations.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a weapon mod, make sure you have the required perks to use heavy weapons effectively — the Gatling gun likely benefits from the Heavy Gunner perk.
- If you're on PC, consider using a mod manager like Vortex to avoid manual file placement issues.
- Check your ammo supply — .45-70 might be rare, so stock up or use console commands to test it out.
