📋 About This Mod

Hello! Welcome to the...

This mod is no longer receiving support. You are welcome to use any part of this mod in a new mod, or to improve, fix or modify this mod without needing to seek permission or credit me.

Grenade Expansion Pack 2 is a mod that includes over 60 new explosives, a high quality M79 Grenade Launcher with the ability to fire most of the grenades from the pack and swap ammo out in the field without a workbench, and moderate changes to vanilla to help line up the mod with the rest of the game.

There are also compatibility patches for Valdacil's Item Sorting sorting tags, Loads of Ammo to allow the option to swap ammo types with it's ammo switchers, and the Armor and Weapon Keywords Community Resource (AWKCR) to make all grenades and mines (including vanilla ones) craftable at a Weaponsmith Workbench located in the mod installer, no need to hunt them down.

Grenade Expansion Pack 2 is an almost complete remake of the original Grenade Expansion Pack. The original GXP, now known as GXP Classic, was made before the Creation Kit and is now riddled with mistakes that make the Creation Kit recoil with terror! Not that it was unstable in-game, but I felt it was time to start from scratch with the same ideas, and some new ones, and see what could be done better than last time.

This version of GXP has three primary components that adds to it's content:

High Quality M79 Grenade Launcher

The Grenade Launcher added by this pack fits well with the aesthetics of the game. It's main purpose is to act as a launcher for the majority of the grenades in the game. You can fire grenades like you would any other weapon, and use VATS as well. This means you can finally use VATS to fire grenades! Also, thanks to a recent update, the launcher can now fire projectiles much further and faster than throwing grenades by hand.

The Grenade Launcher can fire 40mm Grenades, Contact Explosives, Timed Explosives, and Dart Weapons, but you'll find this still covers the meat and potatoes of this mod. You can locate standard Grenade Launchers being sold at vendors, used by enemies, and found within the Commonwealth. However, there is a legendary version that allows live ammo swapping without a workbench! It can be obtained in the cellar under Gorski's
