M79 Grenade Launcher -- Standalone

Hello! This mod is about the...

This mod is no longer being supported. If you wish to use anything from this mod in another mod, or remake, enhance, or patch this mod, you are free to and no longer need to ask for permission or add me as a credit.

This mod adds a M79 Grenade Launcher that fits well with the aesthetics of the game. It's main purpose is to act as a launcher for the majority of the grenades in the game. You can fire grenades like you would any other weapon, and use VATS as well. This means you can finally use VATS to fire grenades! It can also fire it's own 40mm Grenade that explodes on contact, and can be crafted at a Chemistry Station.

Also, thanks to a recent update, the launcher can now fire projectiles much further and faster than throwing grenades by hand. Additionally, Baseball Grenades now explode on contact when fired from a Grenade Launcher. When thrown by hand, they act as they always have.

You can locate standard Grenade Launchers being sold at vendors, used by enemies, and found within the Commonwealth. However, there is a legendary version that allows live ammo swapping without a workbench! It can be obtained from the cellar under Gorski's Cabin.

This is a fully independent version of the Grenade Launcher from Grenade Expansion Pack 2.

If you're into explosives, go give it a look!

There are some interesting mechanics about the Grenade Launchers we will go over here:

The most important thing to know about Grenade Launchers is how they handle their ammo. All Grenade Launchers from this mod have to have grenades converted to sabots in order to be functional. There are currently two methods of converting grenades to sabots. The first is that there are options under UTILITIES in a Chemistry Station to convert all grenades to sabots and convert all sabots to grenades. These options will only appear if you have a Grenade Launcher in your inventory. The second option is simply using the ammo swapping ability of the legendary Grenade Launcher. Simply select the ammo type on the menu and all of that type of grenade will be converted to it's sabot form in your inventory.

There are two different kinds of Grenade Launchers. There are the normal Grenade Launchers, which can be found randomly around the game. They've been made to spawn where you would find Missile Launchers, so shops, enemies, and maybe some loot cr
