About this mod

A minigun that shoots 20 gauge shotgun shells at 1500 RPM. Not very good against armour or at a range, but it shreds things up close.

Permissions and credits
WHAT IT DOES

It adds a unique minigun, the CZ-75 Obliterator, that shoots 20 gauge shotgun shells at 1500 rounds per minute (10 round bursts in VATS.) The box magazine holds 100 rounds.

It puts a LOT of lead in the air fast, but it has a large-ish spread and suffers from the usual penetration problem of shotguns against heavy armour. It does benefit from Shotgun Surgeon, though. Plus, as usual, you can load it with slugs, 3/0 buckshot, pulse slugs, beanbags, or really anything you could put in a 20 gauge shotgun.

It has about the same damage per shot as a 20 gauge shotgun, plus a 2x crit multiplier (but bear in mind that it's divided by rate of fire for automatics), high crit damage, and 2x damage to limbs. On a crit, it knocks down. With a certain shotgun perk, it knocks back too, as you'd expect.

It's registered as a supermutant weapon too, so if you want Lily to shoot you in the back with it, you can knock yourself out. Or let her knock you out ;)

Other than that, not much to say about it. It's loud and it has a huge muzzle flash, so, yeah, you'll be detected. And no, you can't sneak it into a casino.


NOTES

This puppy ain't quite housebroken. It eats a lot of shells and poops a lot of lead all over the place ;) Having trouble keeping it fed is part of the balance concept, same as for the Fatman: it does a lot of damage in the right circumstances, but there isn't nearly enough ammo in the game for it to be your main weapon.

BUT, if you just want more ammo, you might also want to try someting like my Super Scrounger mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/60092/?

Or if you're not above cheating a little, "player.additem 165E7A 1000" will give you 1000 magnum shells.


HOW TO GET IT

One crate containing it is in the Nipton town hall, on the assembly floor. Since the legion killed everyone, we'll never really know who the hell brought it there, nor where did they find it.

A second crate is in Helios One on the observation level, which is to say, the room with the mainframe computer and the broken wire.

Both are locked, or someone else would have looted them already. It's a very easy lock, but do bring along a bobby pin or two.


HOW TO INSTALL IT

Extract the archive, with directories, in your Data folder. Select it in the list of plugin files in the launcher. That's it.


HOW TO UNINSTALL IT

Delete the .esp file from your Data directory. Delete the ShotgunMinigun directories from your Data\Meshes\Weapons and Data\Textures\Weapons directories.


KNOWN CONFLICTS

Well, some other mod could put a crate on top of my own, preventing you from stealing it, but I'm not aware of any mod that does so and it should be improbable that BOTH locations get so changed. Otherwise, it really shouldn't conflict with anything.
