📋 About This Mod
Makes the Heavy Gunner perks check for an additional keyword that only the Minigun has in order to buff its damage for the player but not for NPCs.
This Fallout 4 gameplay mod modifies the Heavy Gunner perk to apply its damage bonus to the Minigun only, using a unique keyword so NPCs don't benefit. It's a targeted balance tweak for players who want the Minigun to feel more powerful without affecting enemy gunners. With 143 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but functional choice.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 143 endorsements and over 13k downloads, so it's got a solid track record.
- Does exactly what it says: makes the Minigun hit harder for you without turning every raider into a bullet sponge.
- Simple, focused tweak that fits right into a heavy weapons playthrough without overhauling the whole perk tree.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the Minigun, so if you're using other heavy weapons like the Gatling Laser, this mod won't help you.
- Since it's a keyword-based edit, it might conflict with other mods that alter the Heavy Gunner perk or Minigun keywords.
- No compatibility patches mentioned, so you'll need to test it with your load order, especially if you use perk overhaul mods.
For Fallout 4 players who love the Minigun but feel it underperforms compared to other heavy weapons. If you're running a heavy gunner build and want a dedicated buff to the Minigun without making NPCs stronger, this is for you. Skip it if you prefer broader changes or use mods that already rebalance heavy weapons.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod in your load order after any mods that modify the Heavy Gunner perk to ensure the keyword check works.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, enable the mod and let it sort automatically, but manually check for conflicts with perk overhauls.
- Test with a save where you have the Heavy Gunner perk and a Minigun to confirm the damage increase applies only to you.
