✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 214 endorsements and over 6,800 downloads.
- Targets three underused vanilla weapons, giving them new life.
- Simple, focused overhaul—no bloat, just weapon fixes.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it may not be compatible with newer game patches or DLC.
- Only touches three weapons—if you want a broader weapon overhaul, this won't cover it.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the same weapons or their stats.
For Fallout 4 players who want more realistic weapon performance without a massive overhaul. If you're tired of the SMG feeling weak or the shotgun's pellet spread being unrealistic, this is a quick fix. Skip if you're looking for new weapons or extensive gameplay changes—this is purely a stat tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod edits vanilla weapons, load it after any mod that changes weapon stats to ensure its changes take effect.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex, enable this mod and let it overwrite conflicting files for the intended balance.
- Check the mod's posts section for any reported compatibility issues with popular weapon mods before adding it to a large load order.
