📋 About This Mod
Rust-B-Gone!
A full retexture for the Pipe Gun series (all 31 models), including pipe revolvers and the Syringer. The main design principle was that it should look like old salvaged metals from different sources, but old and worn looking rather than rusty. I referenced both real life pipe/craft-produced weapons, old tools and antiques to get a more varied but grounded look.
Mod available on Xbox here : XBOX

Compatibility:
Not compatible with anything that edits the pipe gun textures or materials (more reflective pipe guns, etc...)
Compatible with pretty much everything else.
Tested with Nina's pipe gun replacers (there might be some slightly more noticeable stretching), load after her mod.
Thanks to the Rizzler and his amazing mod tutorial series which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to get into modding.
Thanks the the BoneZone discord for their encouragement and feedback.
Technical details: BC7 compression for Diffuse maps, BC5 for specular and normal maps - BA2 packed for better performance

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community approval (5,272 endorsements) and over 1.6 million downloads—this is a must-have for any wasteland wanderer.
- Covers the entire Pipe Gun family plus the Syringer, so you get consistent visuals across all your makeshift firearms.
- The custom cubemaps add grimy, realistic reflections that fit Fallout 4's aesthetic perfectly.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021—might not be fully compatible with the latest game patches or DLC, so test before relying on it.
- No explicit mention of compatibility with other texture overhauls, so you might run into conflicts if you use multiple retexture mods.
- Only covers pipe weapons and the recon scope—if you're looking for a broader weapon retexture, this won't fill that gap.
For Fallout 4 players who want their pipe weapons to look grittier and more realistic without overhauling the entire game. Perfect for survivalists and roleplayers who love the makeshift aesthetic. Skip if you're after gameplay changes or a complete weapon texture pack.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex—no load order worries.
- If you're using other texture mods, install this one after them to ensure it overwrites correctly.
- Check the mod page for any optional files or patches that might be needed for specific DLC or other mods.
