📋 About This Mod

EMERGENCE DAY HAS COME.

What's in the mod?

- Retextures the Super Mutants to resemble the Locust of the GoW franchise.

- Adds various armour pieces for them - Drone, Hunter, Theron, Boomer.

- Replaces Behemoths with Maulers (the big guys with shields).

- Replaces Mutant Hounds with Wretches.

- Adds Tickers (the little scurrying, explodey things) - BUT the best way I could find to implement them was having Locust Hunters spawn them in via grenades...grenades you can loot and (via the chem bench under 'Grenades') convert so you can spawn your own FRIENDLY Tickers!

- Adds the Hammerburst rifle and Boomshot launcher.

Requirements.

- Far Harbor DLC

- Delta - Gears of War Armor and Weapons (Version 1. 3) - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/51579

- More Super Mutant Weapon Animations - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/19228?tab=files (NOT a hard requirement, but without it the Locust won't be able to use Gnasher Shotguns).

F. A. Q

- Compatible with X, Y or Z?

This mod significantly changes levelled lists and the Super Mutants, Behemoths and Mutant Hounds, so it's not likely to be compatible with anything that touches them, be it textures, meshes or characteristics.

- More enemy types? Kantus? Lambent?

Probably not i'm afraid, unless there's mod-breaking bugs I will leave this one be.

-Voice replacer? Sound effects from the game?

Nope. There are mods out there to change Super Mutant voices, and if anyone wants to find and apply the audio from the Gears games into Fallout they're welcome to make a patch!

- Hammerburst doesn't fire in bursts!

I'm aware, but Fallout 4 doesn't  support burst fire without scripting I believe, and I have no skills in that area.

- V. A. T. S targeting is a bit messed up on wretches and tickers!

I've noticed, not entirely sure how to fix it i'm afraid!

- Asset use? - Microsoft owns the Gears Franchise, which means the game assets come under their 'Game Content Terms of Usage ' (available here: https://www.xbox.com/en-us/developers/rules). If requested to by Nexus I will remove this mod.
