📋 About This Mod
While looking thorugh the textures, I saw a "black" texture for the Grendel. I decided to swap the default texture with that "black" texture. I then decided to make a similar darker texture for the Beowulf and the Hard Target as well. Lastly, I changed the color of the Grendel and Beowulf mag from yellow to Grey.
If you want to have all three retextured, then download all three of the files in downloads. Be aware that the Grendel and Beowulf share the mag texture, so you'll see a prompt about the file existing. Choose to either overwrite or skip--it's the same for both.
Installation:

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 463 endorsements and 20k downloads – clearly fills a niche.
- Gives those weapons a sleek, tactical look that fits darker loadouts.
- Lightweight and focused – does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects three weapons, so if you don't use them, it's pointless.
- Last updated in September 2023 – might not be compatible with future game patches.
- Potential conflicts with other weapon retexture mods that touch the same files.
For Fallout 4 players who want a darker, more realistic aesthetic for these specific weapons. If you're into tactical or stealth builds, this is a quick win. Skip if you're happy with the default look or want broader weapon overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting other weapon textures.
- Check if you have other retexture mods for these weapons – load order matters to get the look you want.
- If you're on PC, you can preview the textures in the mod manager before installing to see if the shade matches your taste.
