📋 About This Mod

This is a set of scriptrunner files for Gun and Friends, inserting the various new weapons added by it into whatever Perk FormLists they fit into, such as Grunt for the Chinese Assault Rifle variants and the Prototype Infiltrator, The Professional for all 10mm Pistols and SMGs, and the Machinegun List for all automatic weapons.

The weapon and Perk selection adheres to the same rules as my Ultimate Cowboy and Grunt Expansion mod, so, Sniper Rifles are added to Grunt, the First Recon Rifle (Hunting Rifle variant) is added to Cowboy, the 10mm Enclave Prototype plasma pistol is added to Plasma Spaz, etc.

The TTW version adds all fitting weapons to FormLists for TTW challenges, and there's an addon included for Sweet 6 Shooter Perks that adds the First Recon Rifle to the Bolt-Action Hero FormList and the Chinese Assault Rifle variants to the True Party Member FormList.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Tight integration with perk system—makes those new guns actually viable for perk builds
  • ESP-less means it won't clutter your load order or cause conflicts
  • Recent update (Oct 2025) shows the author's still maintaining it

⚠️ Cons

  • Only 55 endorsements—small userbase, so less community testing
  • Requires Gun and Friends mod to be installed, so it's useless without it
  • No detailed instructions—you'll need to know how to install ESP-less mods manually
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout 4 players who use Gun and Friends and want their new weapons to synergize with perk builds. If you're a completionist who likes every weapon to fit a role, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use that weapon mod or prefer standalone balance changes.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's ESP-less, just drop the files into your Data folder—no mod manager needed, but make sure Gun and Friends is installed first.
  • Load order doesn't matter for ESP-less mods, but keep it active in your mod list to ensure the FormLists are applied.
  • If you're using a mod manager, you can still install it manually—just place the files in the correct directory and enable it.
