📋 About This Mod

Didn't find damage buffed gunslinger mod so made one.

-Each rank of gunslinger now adds +30% of damage instead of 20%.

-Also rank 3 increases V. A. T. S. headshot accuracy by 15% and rank 5 by 25%. (in total)

-Range,disarm and cripple effects are as in original perk.

Added a version with only V. A. T. S. headshot accuracy , now rank 1 gives +5%, rank 3 +15% and rank 5 +25%(in total). other values are original.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Added version to include autopistols on gunslinger and removed them from commando perk damage buffs, other buffs should still apply from commando. only VATS accuracy improved version available. Scratch that, didn't work properly so deleted file. i'll get back to it when i got time.

Fixed.

Installation:

drop the improvedgunslinger.esp to fallout 4/data folder and activate the improvedgunslinger.esp

Improved Gunslinger is a Fallout 4 perk overhaul that boosts the Gunslinger perk's damage and V.A.T.S. accuracy, and adds support for automatic pistols. It's a focused tweak for pistol builds, with 202 endorsements and last updated in 2018.

✨ Key Features

Increases Gunslinger perk damage.
Improves V.A.T.S. accuracy for the Gunslinger perk.
Adds autopistol support to the Gunslinger perk.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 202 endorsements and over 5,600 downloads.
  • Directly enhances pistol builds, making them more viable in V.A.T.S.
  • Adds autopistol support, expanding build options beyond semi-autos.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2018, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC.
  • Potential conflicts with other perk overhaul mods that modify the Gunslinger perk.
  • Niche appeal—only affects the Gunslinger perk, so it's useless for non-pistol builds.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout 4 players who love pistol builds and want to make them hit harder and land more V.A.T.S. shots. Also for those who want to use automatic pistols without losing the Gunslinger perk's benefits. Skip if you don't use pistols or prefer broader perk overhauls.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to load this mod after other perk overhauls to avoid conflicts.
  • If you use automatic pistols, test the damage output in V.A.T.S. to see the improvement.
  • Consider pairing with a weapon balance mod for a more cohesive pistol experience.
