📋 About This Mod
Elijah made a pretty cool gun, idk what the cloud did to him tho, cause his YouTube videos are odd.
One of my favorite guns in the franchise, the Grenade Launcher and Holorifle! I've been sitting on this one a while, summer's been chaotic for me, but here it is, in the flesh, or I guess the steel.
