The IF-88 Tactical Shotgun REDUX
-------------------------------------------
Im back. I have learned how to 3dsMax, and thus I return with gifts.
No more Nifskope Lego.
No more recycled vanilla assets.
I present to you the IF-88 as it was always meant to be; with scratch built meshes and textures, material swaps, scripted leveled list injection, and all the bells and whistles that you have come to expect from a skibadaa weapon mod.
Total mods include:
5 Barrels, 4 Stocks, 8 Mags, 5 Materials, 22 sights that include 2 see through combat scopes (Thanks Henkspamadres!!), 4 muzzles, 13 recievers, and 3 new ammo types.
The ammo types are meant to replace the need for armour piercing recievers, it made more sense to me that way. So now instead of 2 recievers having AP, you have 3 ammo types that can be assigned alongside any receiver. If you use LOADS however this becomes redundant so I have made an extra esp that has the system removed for use with LOADS.
Concerning Consoles:
------------------------------------
An Xbox version will be coming to Bethesda.net shortly. Should be a day or two, but trust it is coming!
Xbox version is live on Bethesda.net!
Installation:
--------------------
1. Make sure that your game is set up to play mods.
2. Download the main file.
3. Install with your mod manager of choice OR extract the contents of the archive to your
Fallout 4 "Data" Directory.
4. Activate "Skibs-IF88Redux.esp", it can go anywhere in your load order.
4a) If you are using "Loads of Ammo: Switchable ammunition types" by TheTalkieToaster then make sure to use the replacement esp available from the downloads page. Install it over the main file and say "Yes" when asked to overwrite.
5. Start the game.
6. Smoke some fools.
The weapon will spawn on raiders, gunners, in loot chests and in shop inventories from level 10 onwards.
If you must have one immediately though you can spawn one via console.
To do this first open the console and type:
