📋 About This Mod

Hello!  The Laser Cannon is a shoulder mounted heavy laser weapon meant to fill the void that is 'useful laser weapons other than the rifle' This weapon basically serves as an energy version of the rocket launcher, and is used exclusively by gunners. It does a pile of damage, but is slow to fire, and consumed fusion core charges when fired.  This weapon is powered up using the "Heavy Gunner" perk.  This gun is fairly rare, so if you can't find it on your first run through a gunner dungeon, don't get discouraged. It also starts spawning around level 30.  This gun has a total of 8 mods, only 3 of which change the way the gun looks, the muzzle mods.  And there is a new unique variant hidden somewhere in the Commonwealth.

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.  Also, if you like making worldspaces in creation kit, send me a message. I can use them for small quests in MCAM.

  • Of Course! This mod is compatible with anything and everything.
  • THIS LOOKS NOTHING LIKE A SPARTAN LASER OR A LASER CANNON WHARRHAHRHRH
  • I don't believe you
  • Holey moley Mike, another gun, will you ever put your guns in an all in one patch?
  • Yeah, for sure! Once I have enough guns to warrant an all in one mod, (probably around 10) I'll be making one.
  • 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.
  • You will have to change the variable names and items they're attached to if you want to make it work with your own items.
  • I have no desire to keep this a secret. It's super simple, and I would prefer everyone used this method, as it would eliminate the need for bashed patches, which consoles can't use. Also I update this google doc whenever I change the script so it should be up to d
