📋 About This Mod

NOTE: Everyone who is waiting for the quest, it might be a bit. My computer is rather old, and like most computers end up, mine is also starting to crap out. Geck crashes a lot, games crash a lot, This means that making AND testing the quest might be somewhat difficult. I will however, be getting a new computer in a few months, It will be custom made, and it will be a desktop, rather than the laptop i use currently. Thanks for everyone's patience, and i'm sorry it's been taking so long. I may put of screenshots of what i have, and right before i switch to my new computer i'll put the files up on this mod page for convenience to myself, and for viewing purposes for you guys. Again, thanks to all of you for making this my most successful mod to date.

Adds a new melee weapon to the game, completely custom textures and models, 100% scratch made. The weapon is called "Buzz-Axe" and it can be crafted at the workbench after getting a blueprint in Gibson's scrapyard. You will find it after finding a dead body in Gibson's scrap yard, and reading the diary that was thrown onto the dead body.

There is a little back story, however not a lot and it tells of a raider's experiences with a new organization, that turns him from his raider ways. This happens only after devising an extremely cruel weapon for the raider's use, which he regrets having made. In order to keep the raiders from getting their hands on this devastating weapon, the man runs away from his raider group, and found shelter with a kind old lady. Unfortunately, this is also where he met his demise, but not before he hid the blueprints in the scrapyard, and detailing it's location in the diary, because he knew the raiders were rendered illiterate by their chem use. (This back story, written in the raider's point of view, can be found in the diary that he had with him.)

The BuzzAxe it's self has an idle animation, where it's blade rotates, and custom "Impact sets". It's sound is not custom, as the game already has a suitable sound for it.

Note: In the files i have 2 textures, one 2048, and 1 4096. if you so chose, you can use Nifskope to change the texture from it's default, 2048, to it's 4096 texture, but with little change in it's overall detail, as the 2048 texture was simply a down scaled version of the 4096 version. The textures themselves are very rusty, to fit with the lore of both games. (fallout, and borderlands both are in a post apocalyptic-esque future)

Another note: This is a work in progress, and if there is enough interest in this mod, i would gladly add a true quest, and make leveled list integration, however, due to the time it takes to make leveled list integration, and quests, and the fact that my previous mod was not very well received (in terms of endorsements and downloads) i will only spend my time if there is intere

  • Look for a 'Meshes' and 'Textures' folder in the archive—if present, place them in the correct directories to ensure the weapon appears correctly.
