📋 About This Mod

Retextured and Mesh Edited Survivalist Rifle

V3. 0 Released Added Weapon Mods - Banana Mag = +12 rounds, Service rifle forged reciever = 15% condition, Service Rifle Carbon Fiber parts = -3lbs Weapon Mod Menu Recommended for ease of identification.

Service rifle was always my preferred weapon of choice in FNV, however, it suffered from some major issues. It was weak, I disliked the sight ring always blocking my view, and some other stuff I forgot besides being particularly loathsome in general.

Then there came Honest Hearts and the Survivalist rifle, I thought my search for a perfect Service rifle was over. But then the gun started to bug me, the sights again, the fact that it was using a 12. 7mm pistol cartridge instead of a rifle round, and the general look of the gun, So... I changed it.

Based off the Meshes of the Service Rifle and the Survivalists Rifle, I hereby, hitherto, and henceforth present:

Requires Honest Hearts and Lonesome Road (in progress stuff) I'll probably upload an HH only file eventually.

Heartbreaker

May sooner or later put together a custom armor set to go with the gun, but doing this mod alone took about 18 hours of learning and hair-pulling and maniacal laughing to accomplish.

Also, if damage is considered O. P. ill upload a kid safe version later.

Any issues leave a post in the comments and ill try and address it
