📋 About This Mod

Replaces the Type-1000 Maxigun with a custom kitbashed Type-980 Decimator rotary machine gun

Description

A custom kitbashed weapon and backpack to replace the original look of the Maxigun. Now features a holographic sight, three barrels, a front-facing shield, and a non-rotating ammo backpack. I figure there's plenty of spinning going on without a drum mag on your back, eh?

Oh, and yes, the barrels still heat up during extended firing!

The Decimator is based on the original Maxigun chassis, with an additional frontal-facing shield (ballistic shield components), tri-barrel (gatling sentry components), and holo sight (credit to XxNelsonxX for that model).

The ammo pack is based on the SEAF radio pack, because it has nice greebling and is vaguely rectangular.

I hope you enjoy it!

The armor/weapon mods shown in the background of the screenshots can be found on my profile.

Does this mod have conflicts with any other types of mods?

Yes. It will override (or be overridden by, depending on your load order) anything that modifies the model of the Maxigun.

Is this mod LUT compatible?

Mostly Not. Some of the base components will accept other LUT mods, but they're not designed to do so because I don't really know how.

Will you make a mod for next?

Possibly! Feel free to ask; I don't have any specific plans.

Will you change the colors to ?

Likely not, since this is my preferred color scheme, though you're welcome to do so yourself for private use. I can give you a few pointers if you reach out.
