When you played Old World Blues, acquired the Sonic Emitter and all its sound files were you disappointed by its usefulness? Were you thinking "wow this had so much potential but it ended up feeling like a stunted and impotent plasma pistol with a gimmicky critical hit effect"? ME TOO, this mod changes that!

Now what once was a gimmick ends up being the main reason to take this weapon out into the wasteland.

When I used the Sonic Emitter before it always annoyed me how close you would have to be to actually hit something. This is especially annoying when you used the strongest sound file Robo Scorpion and if you critical hit an enemy that is in your face it would kaboom and make you both die. This mod will make you want to carry two or three sonic emitters just to use different effects in combat. Potential uses, Say you are walking through Deathclaw country and you are a weakling but you happen to have a large supply of energy cells. You can now use Sonic Emitter "Revelation" to paralyze them while you run as fast as you can to safety! Maybe you have Robo Scorpions that are constantly crawling up your ass and when they inevitably die they explode leaving your legs and lower torso crippled and bent out of shape. Simply use Sonic Emitter "Gabriel's Bark" to push them away before they get close enough to do so. Are you one of those men that just wants to watch the world burn? Sonic Emitter "Tarantula" will tide you over... hopefully

This mod doesn't do nearly as much as the length of the description would suggest, what it does do is this VVV

Changes made:
Sonic Emitter range is increased
Sonic Emitter Damage across all sound files are changed
SE Revelation now crits with every hit paralyzing enemies but also uses 8 energy per shot
SE Opera Singer is more powerful, the most powerful besides Robo Scorpion
SE Gabriel's Bark almost always crits knocking enemies backwards
SE Tarantula lights fires on impact wherever
SE Robo Scorpion explodes on impact wherever, the projectile is pretty much a very very slow rocket propelled grenade and when it crits the damage is MASSIVE. This is entertaining to see in vats

Version 2 is the same mod all it changes is that the Robot Scorpion impact explosion looks like the explosion that happens when a robot scorpion self destructs. Damage and radius is the same but there is no knockdown effect like the grenade explosion.

Incompatible with:
mods that change sonic emitters projectiles and weapon form ids

Recommended mods
Texture fixes for OWB weapons

Required:
Old World Blues DLC

Edit:
After coming to the realization that people will actually be using this mod, trying it out and that its no longer just a mod I made for myself I edited a new file that will  be a little more balanced. I also changed the text attributes to the weapons so it reflects what actually happens when you hit something. This is my first mod and a very simple one at that, any help or suggestions is appreciated

Anyone is free to edit this make it better and upload, if they chose to do so I should ask you to link to the original mod here :^)

Just started a new game and am patiently waiting for (and super stoked for) news on Fallout 4. Thank you to Bethesda and Obsidian for making a deeply rich and entertaining game. My reason for making this mod is that to me when i started using this in my vanilla play through I felt like it was a reference to the weirding module in David Lynch's Dune, i was expecting something epic and I wanted it to be epic. In the future if I learn anything more about using the G.E.C.K. i'd like to add some new sound files scattered around the wasteland with an edited projectile animation.

Through sound and motion, you will be able to paralyze nerves, shatter bones, set fires, suffocate an enemy or burst his organs. We will kill until no one but the Courier breathes Mojave air.
