📋 About This Mod

My first big boy mod. This mod adds in a high level alternative to the vanilla minigun - The Vulcan Cannon. It can be found in the world at level 10 and uses 5. 56 ammo.

It takes on the role as a high fire rate, heavy weapon that might as well have been ripped from a naval ship. It's massive in size and weights a ton but can whip out some extreme damage.

Important note: The images may not represent the level quality you may encounter when you use this mod. My PC is a potato and can't handle running the game for longer than a few minutes even on the lowest settings. Eitherway any critique or praise is very much appreciated.

The attachments are:

- Reinforced

- Peppermill

- Standard (none)

- Iron Sight

- Reflex Sight

- Long Scope

- Recon Scope

Update 2. 0

Improved a lot of the issues, improved models and added a few more attachments.

- Additions: Reflex sight which serves as an upgrade to the regular ironsight. Added the assault barrel which is a straight upgrade to the standard barrel

- Models: Revised the scopes - New ironsight model, the scope is now an actual scope and not a recon scope without the recon components, the recon scope itself has been moved to the side so that it obstructs less of the screen. Improved the minigun model so that the front grip guard doesn't clip with the fingers. Also added some more structure to the minigun so that the recon scope can be attached to it.

- Fixes: Every barrel now has a proper muzzle node alignment. The barrels now properly heat up and glows at the muzzle. Included the .pex file for proper weapon LLs integration for those who didn't get it to spawn in the world.

Update 2. 1

Compacted form IDs and marked the ESP as ESL again

Update 2. 2

Improved LLs, now instead of 10 the gun appears at level 30. Decreased the spawn rate significantly. It should now appear high ranking gunners, random minutemen, raider bosses. It will appear at gun vendors and BoS vendor at level 24. Hopefully the gun won't be as common as dirt in the wasteland now.
