📋 About This Mod

A simple, yet effective mod adding randomized loot to vehicles all over the wasteland without touching a single vanilla record, thanks to Base Object Swapper.

This mod provides a change to all available vehicles, I. E. pickups trucks, ruined cars, police cars, etc. with a RNG based chance of obtaining loot.

There are bound to be some vehicles I may have missed, some I intentionally did not do and ones that do not fit in. DLC vehicles, if any exist, will be added later. I plan on refining the loot tables for each vehicle much more than what they currently are, but this is only a rough implementation. Enjoy the mod as is and watch for updates.

Loot Pools Include...

  • []Three types of loot, Common, Uncommon, and Rare. (Each has their own chance of not receiving any item)

    []Ruined cars and average civilian vehicles will contain one of the many items in Common and Uncommon loot pools (I. E. Bobby pins, abraxo, scrap metal, baseballs, etc.)

    []Military and emergency vehicles have a change for rare loot (5. 56 rounds, 10mm Pistol, fission batteries, a riot shotgun but only at level 12 with a super low chance, etc.)

    []Item counts are intentionally super low, to emphasis the idea it's been looted before or you come back and loot it again as if you missed something

    Simply install via MO2, or Vortex. Load order does not matter.

    Requires Base Object Swapper in order to function.
