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
📊 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
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.
💡 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.
