📋 About This Mod

ITO FULL v2 which not only includes many new weapons but clothings, workshop items, aid items etc all is a customisable installer.

Completely overhauls the Institute weapons technology by adding over 30 new weapons and some minor technology like Institute and Railroad stealthboys.

There is two versions:

This will just inject the weapons into the leveled lists of the synths for the Institute weapons and RRagents for salvaged, you can also opening craft them at the new benches added in the crafting menu or found inside the Institute Advanced Systems and The Railroad HQ. The uniques still spawn in the world like normal however.

FULL-Requires a new game

This completely overhauls how Institute weapons technology is obtained with completely redone synth leleved lists etc, most Institute weapons are equiped with Biometric and RFID security systems so only autherised people can use them.

When you loot something that was carrying an Insitute weapon it will drop a misc item which is the locked weapon, they will not how ever always drop as they self desruct, the upside is they will drop components instead.

Most Tier 1 and Jury-Rigged Weapons will spawn with dirty textures as they are meant to be old and warn but this can be removed at the weapons workbench under materials, most weapons also support at least for the most part custom skins from CC and retexs, but the dirty textures will only be basic white as there is no way around this.

I have tried my best to avoid editing anything related to named NPCs minus glory who had a weapon change, so for the most part should work with mods that overhaul NPC's looks etc.

To unlock Insitute weapons the main route is to join the Institute itself:-

After speaking to the Division heads you can build and unlock tier 1 at the bench in Adavenced Systems and unlocks Insititute bench for your settlments.

After visiting your quarters after retrieving the rogue synth you can build and unlock tier 2.

*Finaly after atending the directors meeting after the battle of bunker hill you are fully trusted and can build or unlock ALL Institute weapons.

How to unlock going the non Institute gameplay route:-

To unlock/repair the weapons there is a bunch of new perk mags placed throughout the game in multiple locations related to Railroad, railroad sympathizers and BOS locations.

Magazines:-

Skill based Unlock

Allows to unlock the of all the weapons based on HACKING and SCIENCE SKILLS with each Tier requiring more skills.

Also unlocks the ability to craft the Jury-Rigging Workbench at your settlement instead of using the one at the RR HQ.

NO SKILLS REQUIRED
