📋 About This Mod
Add a custom made Mp40 to the Commonwealth. The gun comes with a custom model and texture as well as its own customization options.
Customization options include: -Receiver -Barrel -Mag -Collapsible Stock -Compensator or Suppressor
(Looking to add more aesthetic mods to weapon)
Where to get: The weapon is located in the mole rats nest under the first Red Rocket that the player encounters with dog meat. The weapon is also available via chem-station under utilities tab after crafting the necessary parts. (I chose to not add the weapon to a leveled list because a weapon like the Mp40 would be relatively rare in the wasteland)
Installation: Easy Way- Download and install a mod managing program (Mod Organizer 2 or Nexus Mod Manager) and click the "Download with Manager Button"
Not So Easy Way- Locate your fallout 4 directory (Usually under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4) then copy and paste the contents of the compressed zip file into the data folder using Winrar or 7-Zip
Known Bugs: -Parts of the texture seem to be black on the front of the mag release as well as the front sight -The front sight is not properly aligned to bullet projectiles -The player does not properly hold the weapon and just misses the charging handle during reload -The weapon wears decals when dropped on the floor (Will try to fix any known bugs if I have the time or capabilities to do so. I am still relatively new to the modding scene)

⚠️ Cons

For Fallout 4 players who want a classic WWII submachine gun with a unique look and some modding options.

Skip if you need a full weapon pack or expect extensive customization like in modern weapon mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
