📋 About This Mod

Another service rifle? Why yes but this time with a twist: This one is made of pipes, rust and pure willpower!

This weapon was made in response to a dozen other service rifle and AR mods. Unlike the others thought, I've made this one an early game alternative with low requirements and subpar performance yet still consistent and destructive firepower.

The pipe carbine is chambered in . 223 but can be converted to use the more powerful 5. 56.

It will start spawning at level 8 anywhere a pipe weapon would.

The Pipe Carbine has a plethora of attachments to make it extremely customizable. There are a total of 56 attachments:

Receivers - All 14 of the standard pipe gun receivers

Barrels - Standard, Assault, Ported, Heavy, Recoil Compensated, Marksman, Sniper

Stocks - Standard, Pistol, Light, Heavy, Marskman, Sniper, Recoil Compensating

Magazines - Small, Medium, Coffin, Drum (+ quick eject variants)

Sights - Carry handle, Cut, Reflex, Improved Reflex, Three scopes (Standard, NV, Recon) in three zooms

Muzzles - Bayonet, Triangular Bayonet, Compensator, Muzzle Brake, Silencer

Ammo Types - . 223 and 5. 56

+ unique weapon modifications

There is a Two uniques in the mod The first being -

Safety Violation

It has a modified barrel to fit an entire nailgun on the receiver as well as a battery instead of a traditional magazine. While it does less damage than the typical rifle, it boasts a high fire rate, bleed damage and an innate silencer.

The gun is located at the Murkwater Construction Site, next to the workshop

The Second Unique Is -

Grizzly Reminder

Its Chambered in . 45-70 and Ignores 50% of armor

The gun is located at the Rocky Narrows Park, on a body next to a "Don't Feed the Bears" Sign

COMPATIBILITY

This mod shouldn't conflict with any other mod. It will however be affected by vanilla weapon retextures since it reuses pipe, combat shotgun and institute textures. I very much recommend gmoi6's pipe gun retexture.

There is a Far-Harbor requirement, and the mod requires Munitions - Ammo Expansion Project for the . 223 caliber and unique ammo

The mod file is also marked as ESL so it won't take a plugin slot.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a pipe weapon, it'll benefit from the Rifleman perk—make sure to invest in that for max damage.
  • Check your load order—weapon mods like this usually work fine anywhere, but placing it after other weapon overhauls can prevent conflicts.
  • If you're on PC, consider using a mod manager to install this—it's a simple ESP, but a manager keeps things tidy.
