📋 About This Mod
Introduction
This mod redistributes several weapons leveled lists. This mod removes pipe guns from the game, and makes small changes to get a better experience in a modded game.
Do you like pipe weapons? "NO": Ok! Continue reading. "YES": This mod is not for you (please, I don't want posts about lore).
What does this mod do
This mod removes pipe weapons from leveled lists. This means it won't spawn again. Where you found pipe guns in vanilla game, now you will find fully variety of random weapons.
Our friends raiders and other endearing angry people, will spawn with pistol, pipe revolver and double barrel shotgun (and melee weapons) at level 1, and start using other weapons at higher levels.
Weapons are not modified at all by this mod, I only have modified leveled lists, so existing weapons in your game will not disappear. Anyway, this mod is more effective in a new game.
Why not to simply use a pipe weapon replacer?
Because pipe weapons are everywhere. If you replace it, you will see the new weapon always everywhere.
One leveled list to rule them all
This mod is especially useful in a modded game, using both weapon replacers and other weapons added to leveled lists by script.
Several things to take in mind:
FIRST: I recommend use this mod with a mod that replaces pipe revoler with a normal revolver. Now, that weapon will be a basic "tier 1" weapon. (Don't you have a normal revolver? Don't worry, read the end of this description)
SECOND: I recommend to replace bolt action pipe gun with a sniper rifle. (Don't you have a sniper rifle to replace bolt action pipe gun? Don't worry, read the end of this description)
THIRD: Probably you want to replace vanilla submachine gun with a cool weapon from Nexus. This is the reason to set the SMG as a "tier 2" weapon.
FOURTH: If you want to install this mod in mid-game, the better way to do it is install the mod, open game and wait more than 20 days in a interior cell (all respawnable things will be respawned).
FIFTH: The leveled lists used in this mod, are leveled lists used often by mods that add weapons by script. So, when I say "random weapons" I really say "random weapons"
SIXTH: I can't promise you won't see a a clueless guy with a pipe gun (very rarely).
Is this mod safe to uninstall?
Yes, this is safe to uninstall because this mod doesn't add or remove items from anywhere.
To revert changes done by this mod, wait more than 20 days in a interior cell.
