🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

NVRA - VSS and VAL adds two classic Russian firearms, the VSS Vintorez sniper rifle and the AS Val assault rifle, to Fallout: New Vegas. With 252 endorsements and over 11,000 downloads, it's a well-received weapon pack for players seeking authentic Soviet-style armament. Last updated in September 2025, it remains a recent addition to the modding scene.

✨ Key Features

Adds the VSS Vintorez sniper rifle and AS Val assault rifle to the game.
Weapons are based on classic Russian designs.
Part of the NVRA (New Vegas Rifle Association) series by anonx1987.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid community backing with 252 endorsements and over 11k downloads — clearly a popular pick.
  • Brings two iconic Russian firearms that fit the post-apocalyptic vibe perfectly.
  • Recently updated (September 2025), so it's likely compatible with current game versions.

⚠️ Cons

  • Description is bare-bones — no details on stats, textures, or animations, so you're going in blind.
  • No mention of compatibility patches or requirements, which could mean conflicts with other weapon mods.
  • Only two weapons — if you're looking for a larger pack, this might feel thin.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want authentic Russian firearms without bloat. If you're a fan of the VSS or VAL from other games, this is a must-have. Skip if you need extensive documentation or a huge arsenal — this is a focused, no-frills addition.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a weapon mod, make sure you have the necessary DLC or base game files — check the mod's file structure for any loose files that need to go into your Data folder.
  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or FOMM, install it through that to keep your load order clean and avoid overwriting other weapon mods.
  • Test the weapons in the console (help 'VSS' 4) to see if they're properly loaded — if not, double-check your load order.
