Improved Nuke Rifle
REASONS!!!:
Ever want to cause massive explosions without having to lug around the Fat Man and deal with it’s slow, loud, and annoying ammo?
Ever want to snipe some Raider/Gunner/Mirelurk/etc. in the face only for the bullet to instantly explode into a miniature radioactive apocalypse upon contact with aforementioned face?
Most importantly: Ever want the projectile flying out of the Nuke Rifle to ignore gravity and never arc, giving you precise explosive accuracy in what I feel is the most useful, easiest, and convenient way to completely obliterate ANYTHING?
Hell… Are you human?
For these reasons, and because I now perfected this weapon, I bring to you the “Improved Nuke Rifle”.
You can of course use it as you please, but I do recommend that you turn it into a Sniper Rifle.
I also recommend (because this gun is modeled after the Hunting Rifle), that you use my “Lethal Scopes and Iron Sights” Mod, so you can see specifically exactly where their left or right eye ball flies from 300+ meters away.
AMMO/MODS INFO!!!:
The Improved Nuke Rifle requires specialized ammunition called “Nuke Bullets” to function.
This gun was modeled after the Hunting Rifle and as such has the same mods available to it, however, certain mods will cause the nuke effect on the bullet to not work resulting in the weapons actual damage to be displayed and used in game (which is 0).
***DO NOT use these mods on this gun unless you want an extremely weak nonexplosive rifle: .38 Receiver (Changes the Ammo), .50 Receiver (Changes the Ammo), Regular Suppressor (Overrides the Projectile)***
I have added fully craftable Bullets and a fully Craftable Multi-Shot Suppressor Mod (use this suppressor) to this weapon, Ammo is at the Chem Station, and the Mod is at the Weapon Station.
All the other mods for the Hunting Rifle that come standard with FO4 can be used with the Nuke Rifle functioning properly.
DISCLAIMER!!!:
The “Nuke” that this gun uses is modeled after the Liberty Prime Bomb, and thusly the explosion, AoE, and damage is all larger/greater than a Mini Nuke. It also causes somewhat significant radiation in it’s wake for about 10 seconds after the explosion.
The projectile will not arc, and will fire like a regular Sniper Rifle, what you aim at is what you will hit (unless it is out of range).
*As long as you do not use this mod for monetary gain, feel free to use this mod however you please.*
*****This is a redo (thirteenth mod total) of my very first mod not only for Fallout 4, but for anything… ever. So please, this is like a baby to me, take good care of her.*****
I am also currently working on editing hex codes for projectiles in different ways, and seeing what happens. If you have any sugestions please gimme a PM, as I do not know what is currently possible in hex editing.
INSTALATION/ACQUISITION!!!:
The Improved Nuke Rifle is a standalone weapon, and uses an .esp file. This file will go into your Fallout4 -> Data folder. If you have a desktop icon right click it and “Open File Location” then drop it into the Data folder. If you just hit “Play” on Steam then go to Program Files -> Steam -> steamapps -> Common -> Fallout4 -> Data.
I guess various mod managers will automagically recognize the .esp and check it off. I do not use one for FO4 and if you do not either then go here: Users -> (Your Computer Name) -> AppData -> Local -> Fallout4 -> plugins.txt. Add the line without quotes “ImprovedNukeSniper.esp” under the Fallout4.esm in whichever load order you wish, and remember the load order number (Fallout4.esm is load order 0).
To acquire the weapon and ammo in game hit the ` key to bring up the command console. Then type in without quotes “player.additem XX0013E7 1” for the Improved Nuke Rifle. ********The X is a variable and whichever load order the .esp is in enter that number in place of the X. The W’s are for the amount of ammo that you want.******** (Ex: If your load order is 23rd, then type in without quotes “player.additem 170013E7 1” for the weapon as it goes in hex order.)
CREDITS/THANK YOUS!!!:
Thanks to Bethesda of course for the game.
Thanks to the makers of FO4Edit as well which is a great tool with a very minuscule learning curve also.
This mod is brought to you from the sick twisted mind of myself, using FO4Edit, if you wish to use this mod or part of it in another mod please read the disclaimer section above, and give me some credit.
Thank you for your downloads/endorsements, more weapons to come soon.
