📋 About This Mod
PNx Chargeable Tesla Cannon Deathray
For all his genius, Elijah sure didn't modify his jury-rigged Tesla Cannon very much...
This patch will allow Elijah's Tesla Cannon to "charge up", utilizing Project Nevada's built-in features. A first-tier charge will "simply" create a solid continuous beam of Tesla goodness for 2. 5 seconds. With a full two tier charge, the glorious majesty of Nikola is fully realized: that same continuous beam now ends with additional AoE concussive damage.
Technical details:
- []Custom projectile combines properties from PN's Rail Cannon and the original Tesla Cannon. []While in charged firing mode, weapon spread and damage have been adjusted to assure balance. []Tier 2 charge capable of knocking down soft targets; controlled via PN Rebalance knockdown option. []Uses 15/30 ammo per tier1/tier 2 charge. []Weapon unchanged when in non-charged mode.
- []Old World Blues []Project Nevada Core module (optionally Rebalance)
- []If your charging meter becomes non-responsive, first make sure you have 15-30 ammo in the clip and, secondly, try unequipping/equipping the Cannon with a hotkey.
- If you use Project Nevada's Equipment module, create a merge patch to properly use all chargeable weapons.
Adds Project Nevada's weapon charging mechanic to Elijah's Tesla Cannon, allowing players to charge shots for increased damage. A niche enhancement for Fallout: New Vegas players who want more tactical depth from this unique energy weapon. With 247 endorsements and 11,105 downloads, it's a modestly popular tweak.
