📋 About This Mod
What if instead of being infinitely configurable platforms (looking at you vanilla laser gun), weapons had a specific, defined niche? And then what if you filled all of these empty niches with new, vanilla-style weapons? And what if you built all of this on top of Lunar Fallout Overhaul? Then you would have Lunar Fallout Arsenal!
Weapons have an identity, instead of being configurable platforms.
- Weapons can no longer be swapped between semi and full automatic, they're one or the other.
- Weapons can no longer be swapped between grips and stocks, and have a defined class: Pistol, Rifle, or Assault.
- Lunar changes to Commando reworked (the perk now works like Gunslinger and RIfleman, for automatics)
- You cannot change the ammo type of a weapon.
Weapons are either PreWar or Improvised (Or institute)
- Pre War weapons are more rare, require higher tier perks to modify, and deal more damage
- Improvised weapons (like pipe guns) are more common and easier to modify, but deal less damage.
- Institute weapons use their own ammo types, deal extra damage, and are harder to modify.
