📋 About This Mod
This small mod simply makes the Robo-Scorpion types (Pincer, Zapper, Bomber, Normal) use different versions of the excellent retextures by Polferrera instead of all looking the same.
The "Greasy" retexture has been used as the retexture for the standard version, the green version is the ranged version, the red one is the melee version, and the dark one with the red eyes is the suicide bomber version.
Requirements:
JIP LN, xNVSE, Johnny, the usual stuff.
Installation:
Regular installation.
There are two versions: one with vanilla OWB stats, and one which reduces damage and health to more reasonable amounts than vanilla. These stats will match the upcoming New Blood update which makes these same statistical changes, but without the new visuals.
Please endorse and vote if you appreciate the mod.
Limitations:
I really, really wanted to use the rusted steel version seen in the screenshots of the original mod, but unfortunately the "greasy" textures were packed into it's archive instead. I've messaged the author asking if they're still around, and I intend to use them if they become available.
Bugs:
Please post bugs in the bugs tab, not the posts. I get a notification when bugs are posted, but I have too many mods to keep up on the posts on all of them routinely.
Questions:
Credits:
Polferrera's excellent original textures were used as the base. I just noodled around with em after the fact to make them more visually distinct and easier to identify quickly in a fight.
Permissions:
As per the original mod's permissions, these textures cannot be uploaded to another site, or used in a mod which collects donation points.
Support:
If you'd like to support my modding work or say thanks, feel free to donate via the Nexus or here at Ko-Fi.
This small mod gives the three Robo-Scorpion types (Pincer, Zapper, Bomber) distinct visual variants using Polferrera's retextures, so they no longer look identical. It's a simple cosmetic enhancement for Fallout: New Vegas players who want more variety in the wasteland's robotic wildlife.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds visual variety to a common enemy type without changing gameplay
- Uses high-quality retextures from a known modder (Polferrera)
- Simple and lightweight—no performance hit expected
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects visuals; no new gameplay or enemy behavior changes
- Requires the original retexture mod by Polferrera to work (not included)
- Last updated in 2023—may not be compatible with future game patches or mods
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want to break up the monotony of identical Robo-Scorpions. If you already use Polferrera's retextures, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Polferrera's retexture mod installed first, or this mod won't have anything to work with.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to avoid overwriting files manually.
- Load this mod after the retexture mod in your load order to ensure the variants apply correctly.
