📋 About This Mod
Howdy !
Surviving the wasteland can be hard and you'd better have a . 44 ! It’s better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick !
If you wanna have plenty of notches on your pistol or just impress that cowgirl this should work !
Important notice: I'd recommend using Captain-Ultima's version of this mod instead of this one. He did a great job polishing up the whole mod, giving it a lil' quest & the holstering sound associated with the original Mysterious Magnum from the original in New Vegas ! I'd like to take the opportunity to say a big THANK YOU dude, because I never finished what I started :p
- Choose your preferred grip at the weapon workbench !
- Added snub nose and normal canon
- optional darker version (just override the files in .../data/textures/weapons/mm/)
- Updated textures (Diffuse/Normal/Specular)
- Now Standalone ! Craft the Mysterious Magnum at a chemistry station (utility tab) or buy it in shops !
- If you prefer console commands:
help mysterious magnum 4 weap
player.additem ItemID# 1 // using the ItemID# from help command above
- Updated textures (Diffuse/Normal/Specular)
-Now with engraved Heavy Frame !
-Gave it a name "Mysterious Magnum" (Thanks to FafnirEterion that remind me the name of it in FNV ! Thanks dude !)
