📋 About This Mod

Ever wonder why some BOS crews don't stick missiles or lasers on their vertibirds? Did you know the front guns on the vanilla vertibirds technically do zero damage? Tired of fighting the same vertibirds with the same miniguns, tired of getting into a vertibird and firing the same minigun at enemies on the ground?

This mod changes up the Vertibird weapons systems. Each vertibird you encounter will now have a randomized weapons loadout. The front left gun can be different from the front right gun. The left one might be a gatling laser while the right one may be a plasma gun or a missile launcher. Same goes for the Minguns: They might just be your regular brand minigun... or a heavy machine gun instead, or even a grenade launcher!

This includes the ones you can ride!

Possible Weapons:

  • []Gatling Laser (Common): A low damage, but very accurate and very fast firing laser.

    []Napalm Flamer (Common): Basically the Automatron Heavy Flamer gun mounted onto a vertibird. When the flamers hit the ground, they explode into a molotov-like explosion. The flames last longer however.

    []40mm Grenade Launcher (Rare): A powerful 40mm Grenade launcher.

    []Tesla Cannon (Uncommon): Fires a long bolt of lightning that chains off walls and enemies.

    []Standard Minigun (Common) (Side Gun Only): Pretty much unchanged.

    []Heavy Machine Gun (Common) (Side gun only): Slower firing than the Minigun but much more accurate and does heavier damage.

    []Fast Minigun (Common) (Side Gun only): Much faster fire rate, but far less accurate. 

    []Machine Gun (Common) (Front only): Your standard machine gun, except it actually does damage now.

    []Rockets (Uncommon) (Front only): Fast firing sentry rocket pods.

    []Missile (Ultra Rare) (Front only): A heavy guided missile launcher. Has a slow fire rate though.

    []Fatman (Ultra Rare) (Front only): ... Yes. They might come equipped with a fatman launcher. Thankfully, it not only takes a long time to reload, it also doesn't appear untill you're very high leveled.

    []Auto Plasma Spreadgun (Uncommon) (Front only): An automatic plasma shotgun that covers an entire area in plasma bolts. Slower firing and way less accurate than the Gatling Laser, but far more damaging.

    WSE Version:This was originally going to be an addon for Weaponsmith, but I decided to make the vanilla version described above. Included in the Misc section is the WSE version. The following changes are present in that version:

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a simple mod, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 is safer for tracking and uninstalling.
  • Check if the mod requires a new game or if it works with existing saves — the description doesn't specify, so test it on a save you don't mind risking.
  • If you use other mods that alter Vertibird weapons, load this mod after them to ensure its changes take effect.
