The True Blade of the West

A sister mod to my previous creation, this project aims to overhaul the look of the fearsome Blade of the West in order to make it match the new design given to Lanius' sword. The Blade of the West is a distant mirror of the Legate's weapon, a symbol that the marked men can hold onto while the Divide tears at them.

As with the True Blade of the East, the model and textures have been completely overhauled, with a longer blade, and in this case a more worn look to reflect the harshness of the Divide's environment. It features an altered color scheme meant to mimic that of the Marked Men's recreations of Lanius' mask, indicating they have been forged from similar materials.

This mod is once again only cosmetic in nature, with alterations to some sound effects to make the weapon feel weightier. No changes were made to the weapon's stats, however you'll now be able to repair it using Bumper Swords and not Rebar Clubs, like in vanilla NV.

• []A brand new look for the deadly Blade of the West, in order to make it look like a replica of my previous mod, the True Blade of the East. I highly recommend running both mods at the same time.

  []Custom Pip-boy icons matching the new design of the blade (vault boy only).

  []Comes with textures in 1K, 2K and 4K resolutions to accommodate a broad range of setups. The Pip-boy icon's size is 256px, with an optional 512px version if you're using the Consistent Pip-boy Icons mod.

  []Some minor SFX changes for meatier swings, and the ability to repair the Blade using Bumper Swords instead of Rebar Clubs. No changes were made to the weapon's stats or effects.

  This mod requires the Lonesome Road DLC to be installed and activated, as the Blade of the West is exclusively found in the Divide. I also highly recommend using the True Blade of the East mod, as the mods feature matching designs for their respective blades.

  In terms of compatibility, the True Blade of the West should work just fine with any setup, including TTW, as it only changes a couple of entries for a single item. If you run into any incompatibilities, please let me know.

  I'd recommend simply using your favorite mod manager to make things easier for yourself. Load order position doesn't matter too much for this mod, you can put it anywhere you want. Don't forget to activate the mod by checking the box next to its name in your mod ma
