Description

This mod will add a brand new standalone Gauss Rifle with many custom made parts to the game.

Installation

Make sure you have made all the necessary configurations to enable mods in Fallout 4.
If you haven't, check out this guide to learn how:
Installing Mods on PC MANUALLY

MAKE SURE YOU'VE ADDED EVERYTHING NECESSARY TO YOUR TO YOUR FALLOUT.INI FIRST!
See ArchiveInvalidation for more information.

I really recommend installing through the Nexus Mod Manager. The installation wizard guides you through the steps, and it minimizes the potential for future errors. Other mod managers, such as the Fallout 4 Mod Manager, are not recommended and will probably give you a "wrong structure"-error.

With Nexus ModManager (NMM):
1. Download the mod by clicking "Download with manager".
2. Activate the mod in Nexus Mod Manager and follow the installation guide.

While not (completely) necessary, I highly recommend the use of Armor & Weapons Keywords Community Resource.
If you do not use it, you have to choose the "New Workbench" option during install.

Manual Installation (not recommended):
1. Download the mod.
2. Extract the .zip file into a new folder.
3. Copy everything but the "Options" and "fomod" folders into your "Fallout4\data" folder.
4. This step depends on how you want to craft the item in game and whether or not you have AWKCR installed:

• If you want the new crafting workbench and do not have AWKCR installed, copy both "tumbajamba Advanced Engineering.esp" and "GaussRifleMk2 - tAE.esp" from the "Options" folder to your "Fallout4\data" folder.
• If you want the new crafting workbench and do have AWKCR installed, copy both "tumbajamba Advanced Engineering.esp" and "GaussRifleMk2 - tAE - AWKCR.esp" from the "Options" folder to your "Fallout4\data" folder.
• If, for some reason, you don't like the new crafting workbench, copy "GaussRifleMk2 - AWKCR.esp" from the "Options" folder to your "Fallout4\data" folder. This will need AWKCR.
  

5. Activate the newly copied .esps via your favourite method.

Updating

It is highly recommended to deactivate the old version, start the game, save and then install the new version.
If you forgot this, you can use the console to remove and re-add the rifle or drop it to the ground in a settlement, go into build mode and store it in your workshop (TAB by default).

How to get the rifle

Depending on installation options you have chosen you can:

1. Craft the rifle Advanced Engineering Workbench in the BALLISTIC WEAPONS  category.
2. Craft the rifle at the Weaponsmith Workbench from "Armor & Weapons Keywords Community Resource" in the BALLISTIC WEAPONS category.

Compatibility

Incompatible:
No know incompatibilities.

Known Issues

When given to NPCs the Rails and Scopes will display incorrectly. This is a bug that's carried over from the vanilla gauss rifle and we do not currently know how to fix it. Solutions would be welcome.
