✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 12,920 endorsements—clearly hits the spot for many players.
- Straightforward 35% damage boost makes snipers feel more viable without overhauling the game.
- Tiny mod, easy to install and remove—no bloat or extra scripts.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the hunting rifle—other sniper weapons like the Gauss rifle are untouched.
- No configurable options; you get exactly 35% and nothing else.
- Last updated in 2015—may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLCs.
For Fallout 4 players who love sniping but feel the hunting rifle hits like a wet noodle. Perfect if you want a quick, no-fuss damage boost without diving into complex balance overhauls. Skip if you're looking for more nuanced weapon tweaks or play on survival where damage is already brutal.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple esp, just drop it into your Data folder and enable it in the launcher or mod manager.
- If you use other weapon balance mods, load this one after them to ensure the damage increase applies.
- Test on a save before committing—35% might make snipers one-shot enemies you'd rather have a fight with.
