📋 About This Mod
Name: Gun Runners Actually Run Guns (GRARG) Version: 1. 8 Author(s): Ripple
This mod requires the Gun Runners Arsenal DLC
Description =========== I am not sure how the Gun Runners can corner the majority of ballistic small arms market in the Mojave Wasteland when they are basically shelf clerks operating out of a three room hovel with a gun ATM. This is the faction that the Van Graff's are supposedly struggling against? They seem less like 'Gun Runners' and more like 'Gun Mart.' This mod does 2 things:
1) Adds a Gun Runners caravan that actually travels the Mojave Wasteland, run by Issac's cousin, Mathew.. 2) Adds a storage and living area with additional security to the Gun Runners' New Vegas HQ building.
Details ======= This mod is part of my role-play 'Immersion Fetish Series' along with my 'Atomic Wrangler Sex Workers' and 'Silver Rush Door Guard' mods. The intent is to add details that (I think) should have been in the default game to begin with, that enhances the 'ambiance' of the game RP environment, in an non-intrusive fashion that blends seamlessly into the game.
1) Gun Runners Caravan While Alexander is responsible for the Gun Runners caravan route along Highway 93, Mathew's caravan travels the I-15. Because the I-15 is closed due to NCR advisory, Mathew's crew will travel to Junction station, just short of crossing the death claws blockade on Sloan, then returning to the Gun Runners HQ building to restock. You can trade with Mathew, but it will require some...persuasion. You can also, of course, attempt to raid the caravan, but be warned: it is well guarded, and most importantly, remember what Alexander said about the Gun Runners caravans....
2) The second and third story of the Gun Runners New Vegas HQ building are now the storage and living area respectively. In the default game, the Gun Runners HQ security was so pathetic that I often wondered why Gloria didn't simply hire a bunch of raiders or fiends to sweep through the building. Aside from the NCR bases, this is (or should have been) the biggest repository of small arms and ammunition in the Mojave Wasteland. It should be impenetrable to anything but a small army or a master thief. I added additional guards and security to the building (and of course, inventory to the storage area), without 'overdoing it.' They still have less thugs than the Van Graffs, but there's now enough guards and defensive security to convey the sense that the Gun Runners are capable of deterring a frontal assault by the Van Graff's or any raider gangs, but not enough for them to take the war to their contenders' doorsteps. The increased security also inadvertently increases the difficulty of one of the missions for 'You Can Depend on Me.' It is still possible to perf
