This mod adds ballistic version of Orion, everything is same pretty much, except Orion is now ballistic, uses Magshear sound FX, has 300 fire rate and uses big drum magazine! Weapon is obviously auto-fire!

Weapon is purchasable at UC Surplus in New Atlantis!

Legendary version has these effects:

Anti Personel (+10% damage to humans)

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Adds a standalone Ballistic Orion LMG variant to Starfield, obtainable from Antonio Bianchi at UC Surplus. Features a 200-round drum magazine, 300 fire rate, and Magshear sounds. A niche weapon mod for players wanting a high-capacity automatic rifle.

✨ Key Features

Adds a standalone Ballistic Orion that functions as an LMG
Obtainable from Antonio Bianchi at UC Surplus
Uses Magshear sounds
Has a 200-round magazine capacity
Uses a drum magazine
Has a 300 fire rate

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid endorsement-to-download ratio (65 endorsements, 19k downloads) shows it's been tried and liked
  • 200-round drum mag means you can lay down suppressive fire without constant reloads
  • Magshear sounds give it a satisfying heavy weapon feel

⚠️ Cons

  • Only 65 endorsements – it's a niche pick, not a community staple
  • No mention of balance tweaks, so it might overshadow other weapons with that fire rate and mag size
  • Compatibility risk with other mods that alter UC Surplus or Orion weapon stats
🎯 Is This For You?
For Starfield players who want a high-capacity automatic rifle to mow down enemies without reloading. If you're into LMG-style gameplay and don't mind a niche weapon mod, this is for you. Skip if you prefer balanced, lore-friendly additions – this is a straight-up power fantasy.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check if your game version is compatible – mods can break after updates, so verify before installing.
  • If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting vanilla files.
  • Visit UC Surplus early to grab the weapon – it's a straightforward pickup, no quest required.
