📋 About This Mod

Guys, we were featured on PCgamer! Thank you for place in November "Files of the month"!!!

INTRODUCTION

Have you ever thought, by what strange ways we get unique weapons ingame? Most of them just scattered among the wasteland here and there, some of them are property of merchants. Rarely they have any significant story. Who made them, who owned them - that is mostly unknown. And the saddest thing is, that you just scavenge it. Scavenge someone else's story and life.

Well. Time to make something your own.

WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT This mod adds the most logical way to create your own unique weapon - by getting regular weapon and tinkering it on a workbench. Your unique weapons are easier to use, DAM and Critical chance increased; your unique weapon will get it's custom icon. Some of them can be modded with vanilla mod kits; it will cause boost in attributes, but mostly don't affect their appearance (except scopes).

Create enforced, painted, named weapons and have fun - because guns are a man's best friends!

WHAT WEAPONS DO WE HAVE HERE (FOR NOW)? Here is the list of guns currently made. I added some paragraphs of info to each weapon.

One is for quotes used - if there were any (notice, that I used only part of quote to create a desired mood for gun. Original quote can be waaaay different).

Second is about conditions - you can't just make them out of air, you need to be inspired by something! These are bits and pieces, trinkets from wasteland - books, holotapes... They can be found on roads mostly (because I wanted to avoid mod conflicts with player houses, town overhauls, etc). Optional file section have a "SPOILERS" folder with text about clear wereabouts of each special ingredient and a folder with screenshots of all locations.

Other than that, for making every weapon you will need a Paint Gun and, sometimes, some other ingredients - very common ones, so the most difficult part is to get a "blank" weapon, for creating it's custom variant!

Li Grande Zombi - poisoned machete Idea by Dimensionlord1. This machete is connected with voodoo rituals and dedicated to Damballah-Wedo, voodoo spirit of creation, a loving father to the world. Machete is decorated with plenty of voodoo snake "veves', because Damballah-Wedo is depicted as a serpent or snake, and his veves reflect this aspect of him. To those who brings destruction to this world and thus corrupt creative spirit (i.e. your enemies), Li Grande Zombie mache
