📋 About This Mod
The Cowboy perk was missing a few weapons, and I also thought the requirement was kinda odd, so I fixed that.
Affected weapons:
-
[]Police Pistol
[
]Caravan Shotgun[]Sturdy Caravan Shotgun
[]Sawed-Off Shotgun
[]Big Boomer
-
[]45 Guns OR
[]45 Melee OR
[]45 Explosives
Optional file:
- Adds the Hunting Rifle and Paciencia aswell as the aforementioned weapons and perk requirement changes
Cowboy Perk improved expands the Cowboy perk in Fallout: New Vegas to include the police pistol, caravan shotgun, big boomer, and sawed-off shotgun. It also relaxes the perk's skill requirements, allowing players to qualify with 45 in Guns, Melee, or Explosives instead of just Guns. A small but well-received tweak for perk-focused builds.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 323 endorsements and over 9,400 downloads.
- Makes the Cowboy perk more flexible for hybrid builds that invest in Melee or Explosives.
- Adds four new weapons to the perk's list, giving more variety for cowboy-style playthroughs.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches or mods.
- Only affects the Cowboy perk; players expecting broader changes will be disappointed.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who love cowboy-themed builds and want more weapon options under the Cowboy perk. Also for those who want to invest in Melee or Explosives without missing out on the perk's benefits. Skip if you're looking for a major overhaul or don't use the Cowboy perk.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod only changes perk data, it's safe to install mid-playthrough, but always keep a save before adding mods.
- If you use other perk overhaul mods, load this one after them to ensure its changes take effect.
- Check that your game version is up to date, as the mod hasn't been updated since 2018.
