📋 About This Mod

The eighth addition to the Select series, the Select Shotgun is a pump action revolver shotgun found deep within an underground relay tower access dungeon thing. This weapon isn't based off anything and was designed to fit the universe in a lore friendly way.

Features some of the usual weapon modifications, paint jobs, and all. Also, this weapon can be customized in 4 separate categories independently from each other:

-Primary Material

-Grip Material

-Accent Material

-Charm Badge Logo

The video below shows some of the customization options. My favorite build is to make it look like a Nuka Cola Shotgun!

This weapon was actually a community effort created by my YouTube subscribers and Facebook followers! Last time we made the Select Marksman Rifle. This time around, we put together a big list of possible weapon options and everyone voted for their favorite features. We combined them to make up the idea of a new single barrel pump action shotgun. We will definitely do it again so check out the links. See poll results below to see the top voted for features this time around.

The weapon can be found inside of Radio Tower 3SM-U81 (coc relaytower01ext, vanilla exterior location). The Radio Tower can be found north of Mass Fusion Containment Shed. There is a metal hatch to get under the Radio Tower. The last two photos up above show the location.

Once far enough inside the dungeon, the weapon can be found in the arms of a prewar soldier. Once obtained for the first time, the weapon can then be crafted at a Chemistry Bench under SEL. SHOTGUN.

Dungeon Information:

The dungeon is of average size. It is mildly puzzly as doors will be locked until you do what you need to do to progress. There is no associated quest or quest markers nor are there any voiced NPCs. You read terminals to figure out what to do and learn the lore of the location. You can however progress in the dungeon without much reading by just doing things. Overall, completing the dungeon probably takes around... 20-30 minutes? I'm not sure how to gauge that lol.

This weapon is fully animated for both 1st person and 3rd person, as well as 1st person and 3rd person Power Armor.

They can also be legendary, the Select Shotgun was added to the random Legendary roll. Starts showing up at level 22.

For console commands: 'help select 4 weap' or use XX000F99

The video below is for if you're stuck at some point in the dungeon, little walkthrough video. Spoilers!
