PREFACE:

------------------------------

It all started with Pipe-Weapons Overhaul, I was rather disappointed in how it's not properly moddable as I like it to be. The ammunition change was bad and just makes it more expensive to use. I was enamoured with it's modularity that I wanted to explore it on other weapon, which came with the long strings of overhauls, and the ammo sub-type switching was just a logical conclusion.

With the benefit of hindsight, of what I learned of the previous project, compared to the previous Weapons Overhaul, the Redux version is more stream-lined, conservative with arguably less in it, taking what worked, and throwing out what complicated things such as too much ammunition selection for some weapon types. I chose to rebuild it from scratch, incorporating what worked and what just got in the way, and to optimize and simplify it a bit more -- in short, it's a do over to do it right.

Note that it's PRACTICALLY (if not exactly) THE SAME, just more optimized, with better documentation, and future-proofed.

MINOR OVERVIEW

------------------------------

The Weapons Overhaul Redux is a comprehensive overhauling of VANILLA weapons within game, along with certain bug-fixing, built upon a better framework than the previous. The following are the watered down version of the Mod's changes, but for more comprehensive changes, please read the Articles.

> Various bug-fixes and Quality-Of-Life updates, such as the bug of Gatling-Laser and Unlimited Ammo legendary, such as Aeternus. Defiant legendary now also affects explosive effects.

> Capability to switch between ammunition type for weapons, and to switch between ammunition sub-types on the fly. Ammo-Switching is baked within it's features. It is located at the Utilities at either the Cooking, Chemistry
