📋 About This Mod
- Port of HyperX's AK74m/AKS74u from Fallout 4.
- 8 Different reticle's/Variants for the AK74M, Fully Craftable and customizable at a workbench.
(Dualmag, quadmad, Laser, DTK, Supressor, Tactical Grip)
- 4 Variants of the AK74u, each with different coloured lasers + multiple attachment combos (R,G,B,Y)
- Everything can be crafted at a workbench, (reticle variants require base variant to be crafted first)
- Custom Reload/Attack Sounds
-Asurah's/An Animation Replacer is a hard requirement for the reload animation as AK's generally use reload slot M, but since KNVSE's release, you can find individual animations for weapons on the nexus, I recommend anirvanas beautiful AK animation which can be found here
