📋 About This Mod

Does it bug you that a weapon with automatic firing suddenly loses all of your bonuses? Has no one heard of select firing? What is with these arbitrary limitations on the perks?

Well, I was tired of dealing with this silliness. Gunplay rebalances the perks and removes these arbitrary limitations.

Full List of Changes:

  • []Removed the 'non-automatic' limitation on Gunslinger and Rifleman. []Lowered Commando's bonus damage to 5% per level (since they now stack). []Removed Commando's biased against heavy weapons, it now stacks with Gunslinger, Rifleman, and Heavy Gunner. (So long as the weapon is automatic.) [](New) Removed the non-automatic limitation on the Rank 2 and 3 Sniper perks.

Reasoning:
  • []Yes, this does mean that end game damage bonuses are higher for automatic weapons. However: []Automatic weapons already eat your ammo like a crack addict. []You will be spending more perk points to get these two to stack. []The early game is where this really matters. In the early game, you can't easily choose to have -all- automatic or non-automatic weapons. It gives you more flexibility when ammo and guns are more scarce: early on.

If you have any suggestions for the mod, go ahead and post them. It really is a simple mod to anyone who opens it up in FO4Edit. I just couldn't easily find a mod that solved this annoyance.

If you want to modify the automatic weapons themselves to make more sense, I suggest downloading Autocorrect as it is an excellent mod.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This Fallout 4 perk overhaul removes the automatic weapon restrictions from Gunslinger and Rifleman, allowing them to work with automatics, and rebalances Commando to deal 5% more damage per level while also affecting Heavy weapons. It's a focused rebalance for players who want more build variety with automatic and heavy weapons.

✨ Key Features

Removes limits on Gunslinger and Rifleman so they work on automatic weapons
Modifies Commando to do 5% more damage per level
Commando now works on Heavy weapons
Rebalances perk interactions for stacking damage bonuses

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 566 endorsements and over 11k downloads
  • Opens up new build options for automatic weapon users
  • Simple, focused rebalance that doesn't overhaul the whole perk tree

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2016, so it may not be compatible with newer game patches or DLC
  • Potential balance issues with stacking damage bonuses could make certain builds overpowered
  • May conflict with other perk overhaul mods that modify the same perks
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout 4 players who want to use automatic weapons with Gunslinger or Rifleman perks, or want Commando to affect heavy weapons. It's ideal for those seeking more build diversity without a full perk overhaul. Skip if you prefer vanilla perk balance or use other perk mods that might conflict.
