📋 About This Mod

Adds a weapon based on the cut Scorpion Rifle from Old World Blues.

Adds a modified grenade rifle that fires miniature robo-scorpions. There are three variations of Mini Robo-Scorpion, Melee, Ranged, and Ranged (Buddy). The melee and ranged versions act sort of like "smart mines" that attack enemies and explode like a mine when killed. The buddy variant follows you around, but doesn't explode on death.

Robo-Scorpion ammo can be crafted at a workbench using frag grenades and scrap electronics, with a relatively high Science requirement (75). You can also convert robo-scorpion ammo into different types. The schematic is automatically added to your inventory when you first pick up the gun.

Looking at a mini robo-scorpion and pressing the use key allows you to pick it back up and add it to your inventory, so you can use it again. This also applies to the... ahem bonus version.

Location: The scorpion rifle and a few robo-scorpion rounds can be found in one of the upper rooms in the X-42 facility in Big MT, to the right when you first enter, next to the generator terminal for the giant robo-scorpion.

There is a "test crate" located next to the pickup truck outside the Goodsprings gas station that contains the weapon and 20 of each ammo type, as well as a little "bonus".

Requirements:

Old World Blues

BONUS:

Just for fun, I added in an overpowered joke version called the "Tactical Robo-Chumpkins Launcher", intended as a tribute to a certain YouTuber who reviews Fallout mods. It can be found in the test crate. Warning: may cause of loss of limbs, property, and/or immersion. Use at own risk.

CREDITS:
