📋 About This Mod

Since Weapons of the Wasteland has been seeing chronic bug reports lately, Nevada Arsenal has been made as a (relatively) lightweight replacement.

This mod will work differently, however. I have done my best to align each weapon's integration with balanced level thresholds and appropriately themed leveled list choices. For example, you can expect the NCR to only use weapons that would generally be appropriate for them. However, in contrast to WotW, you will not be able to disable specific placements of each weapon. You will instead be able to simply toggle on/off each weapon's integration unilaterally.

I am always open to feedback about where/when weapons show up. I always prioritize balancing and lore friendliness in my integration choices.

Compatible with TTW 3. 3

Features:

  • []Full wasteland integration options for just about every NV DLC weapon, toggleable individually in the config ini.

    []Optional complete GRA renaming. (Hand Load tag remover also available)

    []Optional Mad Bomber genericization with perk disabling included.

    []WotW's shotgun ammo and grenade stock tweaks are included, enhanced, and optional.

    []There's an option to distribute GRA weapon mods further throughout the wasteland, which will also substantially increase the overall amount of melee weapon mods that you find.

    []Scripted Hard edit base weapon GRA mod integration. I really wanted to make the scripted mod changes work, but they're very unreliable and cause strange issues.

    []There is a particular upside over WotW: WotW changed many NCR troopers' weapons to a segregated list within itself. This meant that many NCR troops' weapons didn't update with any other mod additions. All of the equivalent changes I've done have been made with a generic NCR weapons list that's in the base game, so they'll update their weapon selection with other mods you have installed.

    []I've integrated my Hopper31's Throwable Repconn Rockets mod here, with some changes. It gooifies targets, and it's craftable with just a souvenir and a stick of dynamite. (It's completely optional, and you won't see it in any way if you turn it off. There's also an optional recipe that allows you to simply discard the Rocket Souvenir at a workbench, which you can toggle with or without the other setting.)

    Customization:

    Most features are configurable in the config ini.

    Requirements:

    JIP LN, xNVSE, Johnny, the usual stuff.

    Installation:

    Install normally. You need the config ini and the main file.

    Compatibility:
