📋 About This Mod
If you want this sniper over other weapons, transmog Diablos HBG over whatever weapon you are using.
This mod replaces weapon data file "hbg.wp_dat_g", so other transmogged weapons might be set back to default if they are doing so by editing this file.
For listed weapons to be the Snipers please restart game if you had it running when you installed this mod.
