BETTER DESTRUCTION THROUGH SCIENCE!
VERSION 2.0!!
This is Sarah Brisbaine.
In addition to holding a Juris Doctorate, Sarah was also
a renowned nuclear physicist and molecular chemist.
Then the bombs came.
Now, "a bit over 210" years later, the world is a brutal, dangerous place.
But also a world of fascinating and destructive weaponry!
Not satisfied with the arsenal that was available, Sarah set to work
making some... improvements.

MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS.
"Better Destruction Through Science" hopes to improve your blasting and exploding experience with a myriad of weapon enhancements (as well as some new, powerful chems and a few armor improvements) based on the Intelligence tree of Perks. Thirteen new components, derived from vanilla ingredients, have been added to make new modifications to existing weapons in the game
This mod uses no new resources or models. Everything you need is already in the game files, so the download is slim and will work on Playstation (Update 11/6/20: Version 2.0 Available on XBox and PS4 on Beth.net!!).
Here's a rundown of what's included in this mod:
NEW COMPONENTS
- Aramid Techweave: A more advanced weave fiber combining ballistic and thermal protection.
- Carbon Fiber Thread: For sewing armor enhancements together.
- Deuterium: Because fusion.
- Entangled Polymer: Advanced plastic for some armor applications.
- Kinetic Gel: All-purpose impact-absorbing material.
- Microchips: What? They don't have microchips?
- Nucleofused Alloy: Used in advanced weapon mods.
- Precision Parts: Micro-tooled springs, screws, and gears for your weapons.
- Solder: The new adhesive.
- Tetramutagen: Base for advanced chems and leather armor mods
- Tetramutagenic Leather: Vastly improves leather armor.
- Uranium: Numerous applications, not all nuclear.
- Vanadate: A unique crystal with alarming catalytic properties.
All components are made from combinations of existing ones, such as ceramic and nuclear material, or use the new components. Nucleofused Alloy requires Uranium, for example.
ARMOR ENHANCEMENTS
- Leather Armor: Can be enhanced with Tetramutagen for extra protection and stealth
- Synth Armor: New linings can improve SPECIAL stats or have various other benefits
- Combat Armor: Kinetic Armor provides better protection and reduces staggers.
- Clothing: Aramid Techweave for greater protection that any "underground" organization can offer.
And now, on to the good stuff!
WEAPON ENHANCEMENTS!
Note: This mod does NOT replace these weapons. It just adds mods to the weapon workbench to make the changes. Also, they mostly use custom ammo, made by you and requiring the new components.
- Submachine Gun: "Tommy Ice" Mod - Converts bullets into little ice balls.
- Missile Launcher: 12-Pack Mod - Like a Quad-Barrel, but with 3 missiles per barrel.
- Plasma Gun: Fires plasma sticky grenades. Uses Vanadate Plasma cartridges.
- Minigun: "Chews through ferals like paper"? I want a minigun that chews through BUILDINGS like paper! Uses depleted uranium rounds.
- Gatling Laser: The centerpiece of this collection, a deuterium fusion microreactor for your gatling laser. Requires Deuterium Cores
- Laser Musket: Give those Minutemen an upgrade with an Assaultron laser musket, complete with special ammo cells.
- Double Barrel Shotgun: Dragonbreath! Now actually sets things on fire and uses custom ammo.
- Laser: Beam barrel converts shots to a constant beam. Uses Deuterium cells.
- Hunting Rifle: Chambered for Ultra High Velocity 30-06 rounds. Very, very long range. Comes with a 20x super-stabilized optical scope.
- Gauss Rifle: Modified to fire Vanadate plasma slugs, massive ammo capacity increase.
- Fat Man: See picture above.
Some other miscellany included:
- Football Nuke: Wire a Fat Man shell to explode when you throw it.
- TNT: Tossable TNT that does concussive damage rather than shrapnel. Because a thin sheet of plywood shouldn't protect a raider from an explosion.
- Plasma Powerfist: Enhance your punching with the power of Vanadate!
- Tetramutagenic Chems: Massive boosts to your abilities with no side effects!
SARAH AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS MOD!
