✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 6,435 endorsements — clearly fills a need.
- Makes the Minigun actually viable without overhauling the whole game.
- Drop-in install, no fiddling with load order or patches.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects base damage — no changes to fire rate, accuracy, or durability.
- Last updated in 2015, so may not be compatible with newer game patches or DLC.
- No documentation or options — you get the change and nothing else.
For Fallout 4 players who love the Minigun's feel but hate its peashooter damage. If you want a quick, no-nonsense buff without touching other weapons, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive weapon rebalance or need modern compatibility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the .esp file in your Fallout 4 Data folder and enable it in your mod manager or launcher.
- If you're using other weapon mods, load this one after them to ensure the damage change applies.
- Check the mod page for any compatibility notes with DLC or updates — it's old, so test early.
