📋 About This Mod
Well then this is the mod for you.
The Boxcutter is a low tier melee weapon that is inserted into leveled lists using a script so you don't have to worry about it conflicting with other mods, and it will always spawn in the world on gunners. It has three blade mods, standard, serrated, and stealth (super duper original)

Uuuhhh.. I don't know, I'll probably make a unique version in MCAM, but uniques won't be in this mod, because maintaining two quest mods for one weapon would be silly.
Please report any issues you have to me in the comments or bugs section right away, I'll fix it I swear
Also, user submitted screenshots are always welcome! I love getting this, and I'll pop your name in the bottom right and put them in the official mod screenshots if they're really pretty.
Please don't ask where to find shit. Just kill enemies to find the weapon.
- I can't find ___ anywhere and I've killed 8000 gunners
- Either look harder, or stop twiddling around your mod order with 3 new melee weapons every day. I advise installing this at the same time as you install a whole bunch of mods, and just running the game once.
- This weapon isn't showing up, gunners don't spawn with it, but they spawn with another weapon.
- Yes it is.
- i cnt fnd the weapin pls giv me code so i can spawn it in gaem
- help 0 weap

- This texture is too clean, I require dirty.
- Y'all have probably got a pretty intense sex life because this knife is real fuckin dirty
- I love you so much that I want to support you in every way I can, but I also am poor.
- Check out my other mods, or my twitter/youtube pages, it's much appreciated! :)
- This looks EXACTLY LIKE THE ACB-90 IN BATTLEFIELD
- Sure does. Watch the video.
- What script did you use to add these to leveled lists? I'm a mod author and I would like to do the same.
- Here's my script, I put it into a quest that runs when you install the mod so it only runs once.
