📋 About This Mod
Gunmetal Weapon Skins
Disclaimer:
1. 5. 5 has not been updated in a while, some features or compatibility patches my be outdated.
This mod is old and unsupported.
Should be mostly still functional, but I do not plan to release any updates or bug fixes.
The initial release of this mod focuses on The pipe weapons, offering a total of 14 new recolor options along side the vanilla "Rusty" color. Some of these colors are included in a new modcol so pipe weapons will spawn with a random color.
Weapon skins can be crafted at the weapons workbench in the same manor as the Creation Club weapon skins.
Most of these are simple recoloring (My texture editing skins are fairly basic right now), but as my skills improve I will be creating more elaborate skins, including Specialty Skins for each of the named Unique Weapons in the game.
Compatibility Patches for Horizons Survival Overhaul, Weaponsmith Extended, New Calibers, Frost, and Immersive Gameplay are Available. More compatibility patches can be made on request, just leave a comment.

Overhauled most skins to improve overall look. Several camos patterns for most weapons.
Lower minimum level for most skins to provide more variety early game. "Epic" weapon configuration now has a chance to spawn with higher tier skins, Idea being that since the weapon spawns with higher tier upgrades the previous owner gave it a paint job as well.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with over 1.7k endorsements and 150k downloads – clearly a hit.
- Simple concept: new skins for vanilla weapons, no gameplay changes.
- Lightweight and easy to install – just drop in and go.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019 – might not work with the latest game patches.
