Broadsider Weapon Rework
Arguably one of the most unique weapons to make an appearance in Fallout 4, the Broadsider is also woefully underwhelming with a pitiful amount of mods with effects and crafting requirements as nonsensical as the weapon itself.
Dealing 109 base damage despite firing a cannonball that are known to be able to punch through just about anything with ease, the Broadsider is easily outclassed by similar weapons that offer a wider variety of mods and damage. The dramatic arc angle and slow speed also make it more difficult to use in many situations. Lastly, the scarcity of Cannonballs make it a difficult to use as a primary weapon.
However, all that has now been fixed.
The base weapon damage has been amped up to 165 in addition to doing x3 limb damage, cannonballs fly further and faster, the mods have had their stats and recipes adjusted to be more sensical, and a crafting recipe for Cannonballs have been added to the Chemistry Workbench. Weapon spread has also been reduced, making it more accurate and your shots have a higher chance of landing outside of VATS. The weight of the Broadsider and its ammunition has also been changed to 38 and 3 pounds respectively to reflect the actual weight of a naval swivel gun and the cannonballs it would fire. This isn't a huge change and since cannonball can be made now, the increased weight shouldn't be much of an issue.
Future Plans
The mod will most likely be left as-is for the time being unless there's a serious issue. While I'd like to include additional mods for the Broadsider due to its obvious lack of them, including different cannonball types such as grapeshot, chain, and solid shot, custom models would be required to make them stand out. That said, if anyone knows how to extract the cut models for the Broadsider, I would be more then happy to include them in the mod.
