📋 About This Mod
Hello everybody! This is a quick mod I finally put together this morning after lots of procrastination. It adds a simple in-game challenge to kill 15 Tunnelers, and in return, the player will be added to the Tunneler faction so they are not hostile anymore.
The file REQUIRES LONESOME ROAD and has been cleaned with FNVEDIT, so it should be safe for everybody to use. Still, you should always make a backup save before installing ANY mod, in case something goes wrong.
>WHAT As I said before, it's just a small in-game challenge that will make Tunnelers friendly to the player once they have killed 15 of them. I know that 15 may sound like a lot for some people, but considering the amount of them you can find in DUST, this shouldn't take long to complete, haha. There are 100- and 50-Tunneler versions available as well.
The mod does not actually require DUST (although it was made with it in mind), only Lonesome Road, so here it is.
>WHY I found the fine Walks with Tunnelers - For DUST mod by Josrence today, and it reminded me that some buddies of mine who play with DUST asked me to make a perk or challenge of some sort so Tunnelers would stop trying to claw their faces off. I don't play DUST personally, but I finally got off my lazy bum and made the thing.
Mil disculpas por la tardanza, amigos~
>HOW To install, extract the contents of your downloaded file to your "Steam/SteamApps/Common/Fallout New Vegas/Data" folder.

To uninstall, simply delete the files from your Data folder, and you're good to go. Have fun!
