📋 About This Mod

Minigun - Spun Up

Buffs the Minigun by adding Receivers and slightly buffing the Barrels.

As of version 2. 0. 0 now also adds paint jobs by curtesy of FlaconOil and his FlaconOil's MiniGun HD ReTexture!

Each version of receiver also comes with a Armor Piercing variant that gives as a further bonus of 40% Armor Penetration. This version requires the Heavy Gunner perk.

Leveled List

Also did a slight Leveled List customization.

You'll now see the strength of the Miniguns grow as you do, with a chance of seeing the highest leveled parts for your level.

Note: This only modifies the LL_Minigun entry so should be compatible with anything that doesn't touch Miniguns.

Optional Files

Includes optional Complex Sorter INNR ini and Sorter Plugin for those using the Complex Sorter.

FlaconOil for letting me use his textures from FlaconOil's MiniGun HD ReTexture to add paint options.
