- Custom 1st Person animations by Alexander T (ZestOfLemon)
Fallout 4 Version 1. 10. 162 or Higher
Due to recent changes in the latest updates to Fallout 4 and the Creation Kit that were done to expand the number of forms plugins can have means this mod and a majority of mods to release from now will not work in any version prior to 1. 10. 162, if you find your game crashing or the mod just 'not appearing' after installation then it is likely you are not running this version of the game and you will have to update.
The custom animations are first person only but it will work with any hunting rifle right handed replacer such as:
- WarDaddy's
I also recommend using an ENB that replaces the vanilla bloom as it may over bloom the reticles in a way none of the ENBs used during testing do. I personally use Seasons of the Abyss and some colour tweaks in reshade.
- How can I get the weapon?
There are 3 ways of getting the weapon:- Crafting at a Chem Lab
- Finding one or both of the uniques mentioned above.
- Console commands ("help SV-98 4 WEAP" will give you the correct ID) or In-Game ESP Explorer
- Why no levelled lists?
Mainly because it's not really lore friendly and I find that most people would rather craft it or add it via console over buying it at vendors anyway.
- Patch for Horizon or other overhaul mods?
I won't be doing any patches for other mods, anyone is welcome to make and release their own as long as it's esp only.
- Xbox Version?
Anyone is welcome to port it to xbox, just send me a link so I can post it here.

Adds the Russian SV-98 bolt-action sniper rifle to Fallout 4. A popular weapon mod with nearly 6,000 endorsements and over 630,000 downloads, though it hasn't been updated since January 2020.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (630k+) and nearly 6k endorsements — this is a proven, community-favorite weapon mod.
- Adds a classic Russian sniper rifle, giving players a new long-range option with real-world flair.
- Simple concept: one rifle, no bloat — perfect if you just want a solid new gun without overhauling the game.
⚠️ Cons
- No updates since January 2020 — might break with newer Fallout 4 patches or DLC, so check compatibility.
- Description is bare-bones: no info on stats, crafting, or where to find it, so you'll have to discover that in-game.
- Only one weapon — if you're looking for a full weapon pack, this won't satisfy that itch.
For Fallout 4 players who want a realistic Russian sniper rifle to add to their arsenal, especially those who enjoy military-style weapons. Skip if you need a comprehensive weapon pack or want frequent updates.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2020, make sure your game is not fully updated or use a mod that patches compatibility if needed.
- Look for the rifle in the game world — the description doesn't say where, so explore or check the mod's comments for hints.
- If you use a mod manager, install it through that to keep track of it easily.
