📋 About This Mod
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.
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
Adds a custom melee weapon inspired by Borderlands' buzzaxe, with entirely scratch-made textures and models. A niche cosmetic addition for players wanting a unique weapon skin. Last updated in 2014, so compatibility with current game versions is uncertain.
