📋 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

- FOMOD Installer for 7 different texture variations 


--v2. 0--

- This is a redux of my original port from 2019, now with many improvements, such as :

- Fixed Sighting node on all guns

- 8 different variations as opposed to 1 before

- many more attachments

- workbench crafting

- FOMOD installer for texture customization

- custom reload and attack sounds
