📋 About This Mod
J_zete-EJkY
Based on high tech salvage from space relics, the Charger Pistol is a powerful electromagnetic weapon designed by wasteland gun runners. It's perfect when your sidearms needs to be able to take down the biggest of mutated abominations.
More sophisticated than the Zap Gun, the Charger Pistol is also rarer, and uses the scarce 2mm EC. You can either have a 6 shot revolver configuration, which is slower and needs to charge up but does more damage, or an 18 round drum mag, which doesn't need to charge but does less damage. There are a bunch of barrels and other attachments which I'll leave you to experiment with.
If, like me, you wished there was more variety in the pistol category, there is now a new chunky hand cannon in the wasteland. Blast away!
It is integrated to the weapon vendors levelled list, as well as some gunners and railroad agents.
As a bonus, I have also included a gauss grenade, which will also start spawning with the charger pistol.
They will start spawning at level 32.
There is a unique variant, located in an ancient government building, where dangerous ordnances are stored away.
The unique variant can not be modified - this is on purpose for balancing.
Custom animations, custom models, sounds and textures.
2 animations sets (one handed or 2 handed with foregrip)
3 Grips and 2 stocks (gunslinger or rifleman)

Thanks the BlahBlahDEEBlahBlah for writing and implementing the script that allows the 6 shot version of the cells to turn off after each shot.
Thanks to the Rizzler and his amazing mod tutorial series which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to get into modding.
