✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 334 endorsements and over 20k downloads.
- Fills a niche for Institute-themed ballistic weapons.
- Simple concept—just adds a rifle, no complex mechanics to learn.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2022—may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC.
- Only one weapon added; if you're looking for a full arsenal, this won't satisfy.
For Fallout 4 players who want to give the Institute a more conventional ballistic option, especially those who enjoy lore-friendly weapon additions. Skip if you're after a major overhaul or need extensive documentation.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires the Institute DLC or any other DLC—if so, make sure you have it installed.

- If you're using other weapon mods, load order might matter—place this mod after any texture overhauls.
