📋 About This Mod

As far as I know, it was planned for the ant burrow in Honest Hearts to lead into a cave, since there's an ant queen in Honest Hearts's files. So I whipped up this quick dungeon (i.e. copy-pasted the other ant dungeon) and added my own little flair.

- Dark Knight: A unique War Club that's faster and does more damage, but has less durability and crit damage. It can be modded with the War Club's

mods and is affected by the Cowboy perk. While testing, this thing got katana-levels of attack speed with the right bonuses, so have fun with that

- The ant burrow dungeon is pretty much a carbon copy of the ant mound in South Vegas, but with ~+~Environmental Storytelling~+~ and a lot, and I

mean a lot more ants.

For some reason the dark texture won't apply when modding the weapon. The GECK seems to revert the change every time for some odd reason...

Fixed in version 1. 1.

COMPATIBILITY
