📋 About This Mod
This mod introduces a selective-fire system into Fallout: New Vegas. Most (see below) projectile-type weapons, capable of automatic fire, will have two or more optional fire-modes for the player to switch between: single/burst/auto.
Key Features
Universal compatibility:
- []Works well with ANY projectile-type weapon capable of automatic fire, both vanilla and custom weapons added by other mods. No compatibility patches are (nor will be) required. [/][]The system automatically evaluates every weapon and determines which settings would be most appropriate for it, in terms of realism and practicality (every setting can also be configured manually). [/]
- []When a weapon is drawn, press the key to switch between fire-modes. [/][]When the weapon is holstered, hold the key for one second to open the Weapon Setup Menu, from which various settings can be configured, individually for every weapon. [/]
- []When using a controller, the Left Shoulder (LB) button is used, instead of the keyboard hotkey, for switching fire-modes. The LB button, which is used for switching between 1st and 3rd person, will function slightly differently when a weapon is drawn - a short click will switch fire-modes, while a long click will switch POV. []The keyboard hotkey is still used for opening the Weapon Setup Menu.
- []Configure the selection of fire-modes available for every weapon (which will depend on the weapon's type). [/]
- []Configure the number of rounds that are fired with every burst, relative to the weapon's rate of fire. For example: If set to 1/3 for a weapon capable of firing up to 8 rounds/second, 3 rounds will be fired with every burst. [/][]Can be configured for every weapon, individually. [/]
- []Configure the number of rounds that are fired with every VATS action, when firing in full-auto mode. As with Burst RoF, values are relative to the weapon's rate of fire. [/][]Very useful for a more economic use of ammunition. [/][]Can be configured for every weapon, individually. [/]

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's forum or comments for the default hotkey to switch fire modes, as it's not in the description.
- Test with a standard assault rifle first to see how the fire modes feel before relying on it in combat.
- If you use other weapon mods, load this one after them to ensure compatibility.
