📋 About This Mod
Upgrades the Minigun and Gatling laser to have damage on par with other guns. It's a massive war cannon why it hit worse then a makeshift pip gun? Also the weapons dont need to charge up to fire just like the real wold variants.

✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 157 endorsements and over 36k downloads—clearly fills a need.
- Directly addresses a common complaint: heavy weapons should hit harder than a pipe gun.
- Simple, focused change—no bloat, just damage buffs for two iconic weapons.
⚠️ Cons
- No detailed patch notes or exact damage values provided, so you won't know the specifics until you try it.
- Only affects two weapons—if you want broader balance changes, this won't cover it.
- Last updated in June 2024—may not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC if you're on a newer version.
For Fallout 4 players who love heavy weapons but hate feeling underpowered. If you're tired of the Minigun tickling enemies and want it to feel like a proper war cannon, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive weapon overhaul—this is a targeted fix.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod file in your Fallout 4 Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex to avoid conflicts.

- Test the Minigun on a few raiders first to see if the damage feels right—you can always tweak it with mods like FO4Edit if needed.
