📋 About This Mod
The Assassin Life I wanted to make a mod that made me an assassin. I wanted to see how well I could travel the entire wasteland, killing everyone in my path with precision, and without being caught, all while progressing through the main story in a very different way. That\'s why I made this mod. New in 1. 5 Sniper Rifle Tweaks 1) All have nightvision scopes at night. I\'ll add versions without nightvision in the next update. 2) Increased range. 3) Reduced spread by 12% 4) Allows the engine to decide whether limbs are exploded or dismembered on sniper impact. Default was to force limb explosion, but I like the variety better. 5) Gave the . 308 sniper ammo significantly more pushback force. General Tweaks 1) Changed the nightvision scope effect to a more natural green. 2) Added a few small things to the Assassin Hideout. Perks 1) Added the \"Born Assassin\" perk at level 2, granting 10% melee attack speed and 35% running speed. (will have icon in the next update) What does it do? My recommended setup is to make a new character, tag guns,sneak, and repair (+25 repair needed to make the new ammo recipes) Download the mod, place it in your \"data\" directory, then load it with the launcher. What The Mod Does - Adds a player home in Goodsprings - Gives the player their choice of differently powered silenced sniper rifles. - Gives the player their choice of stealth armor. - Ups the damage on the silenced . 22 pistol to make it usable as a main sidearm. - Ups the damage on the knife, assassin knife, and combat knife to make it more usable as a main melee weapon. - Adds a recipe to make . 308 AP and . 308 HP rounds. Each requires 25 points in repair. - Made the requirements to make . 308 rounds a little easier to do without the use of merchants. You now need \"primer, pistol small\" instead of long rifle primers, which are near impossible to get when you are killing every merchant. - I think that\'s everything. Recipe for . 308 Hollow Point rounds (makes 8x rounds) - regular . 308 rounds (8x) - 1 jalapeno pepper (couldn\'t think of anything better lol) Recipe for . 308 Armor Penetration rounds (makes 8x rounds) - regular . 308 rounds (8x) - 1 scrap metal When you start a new game, you might hear some gunfire behind the doctor\'s house. Go check, and after fighting off a few fiends, you\'ll see the corpse of the assassin, Marcel Laverdet. Loot the key from him and then you have full access the the assassin\'s hideout located nearby. Inside is a wall safe with your choice of weapons armor. Take the ones with a power level that suits your desired playthrough. Outside of the general store on the side where the workbench is you will find a crate on the ground with2500 of each type of . 308 rounds (Don\'t take the ammo if you want to find/mak
