📋 About This Mod
Hey there!
The Laser RCW is, as many of you may have guessed, a weapon from Fallout: New Vegas. Now I am aware that there is another Laser RCW on bethesda.net, but it's a stolen asset from the original game so it's PROBABLY going to get taken down at any moment, also mine's better because it's not broken as hell.
The weapon is basically here to fill the void of automatic laser weapons that aren't the Laser Rifle, and it uses fusion cells as power.
This gun can be found on any enemy that normally spawns with the vanilla submachine gun, so if you're having trouble finding it, just look for submachine guns and you'll find this baby eventually.
This gun has a pile of mods, 3 muzzles, 3 receivers which change energy type and color, 2 grip, and 3 sights, which make it fairly useful regardless of your playstyle.

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, or in future quest mods.

- 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.
