Chrome Shotgun and Melee Weapon Skins

(Craftable or Replacer)

This mod offers two versions:

Craftable Skins – Apply the chrome skin/reforge at a weapon workbench. These versions are slightly lighter and more valuable.

Replacer version – All shotguns and melee weapons automatically adopt the chrome finish, with no stat changes.

Installation:

Download with your preferred mod manager, or unpack the zipped file into Starfield\Data and enable modding in the usual way.

The following weapons are included:

  • []    Breach[/]

    []    Coachman[/]

    []    Old Earth Shotgun[/]

    []    Pacifier[/]

    []    Shotty[/]

      Features:

      Hand-painted in Photoshop – Meticulously designed textures for a polished, high-quality look.

      Colour motifs adjusted – Colours match weapon lasers for a more cohesive aesthetic.

      ⚠ Warning stickers redone – Most removed, or redesigned for a cleaner, tactical feel.

      🛠 No known compatibility issues – Only replaces textures, so it works with everything.

      Lore-Friendly – Imagine these could be factory new, starborn variants, or just more futuristic.

      Texture detail – The textures used are the same size as vanilla (highest is 2048x2048).

      Melee weapons - new option on workbench to "Reforge" as there is no option for skins in vanilla.

      Chrome melee weapons will occassionally appear on NPCs.
