📋 About This Mod
Summary:
Projectiles Unbound shakes up Starfield’s weapon customization by adding a brand-new Projectile Mod Slot to the Weapon Workbench, letting you equip projectile types and modifiers directly.
In vanilla Starfield, projectile behavior is tied to a weapon’s Magazine or Battery slot. That limitation forces you to choose between magazine size and projectile effects, never both. This mod breaks that link entirely, freeing projectiles from the Magazine/Battery slot and giving you full control to pair any magazine with any projectile type you want.
-
[]New Weapon Mod Slot: A dedicated Projectile slot has been added to most weapons.[/]
[]No More Projectile Magazines: All magazine mods that existed solely to modify projectiles have been moved to the new Projectile slot.[/]
Compatibility:
-
[]Shattered Space: Fully compatible through an optional file - just load it after
ProjectilesUnbound_Main.esm[/
][]Compatible with any mod that doesn’t directly modify vanilla Weapon forms. Mods that do will need a small patch. If you run into one, let me know and I’ll make a patch for it.[/]
[]Custom weapon mods work normally, but won’t use the Projectile slot without a simple patch. Tell me what custom weapons you’re using, and I’ll get them added to the patch list.[/]
[]Installing Mid Game is fine, but may result in already spawned/acquired weapons having installed mods that "don't exist". You may need to recraft projectile mags on these weapons for the projectile to function properly. [/]

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fresh take on weapon modding—separating projectile from mag is a smart idea.
- Decent download count (21,953) shows people are checking it out.
- Recently updated (Nov 2025), so it's likely still being maintained.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 40 endorsements—small community, might not be thoroughly tested.
- Could conflict with other weapon overhaul mods that touch projectile systems.
- Limited info on compatibility with popular crafting mods—you're on your own.
For crafting enthusiasts who want more control over their ammo types without being tied to magazines. If you're tired of the vanilla mag-lock system and want to experiment with AP rounds on any gun, this is for you. Skip if you prefer simple, vanilla-friendly mods or don't care about projectile variety.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your other weapon mods modify projectile behavior—this might conflict.
- Test with a spare weapon first to see how the new slot interacts with your current mags.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
