Hello everybody! This is a small mod that adds some potato weapons - grenades and launchers - for you to use, with different effects. Based on the request by joelthedestroyer47.

There are two versions of the mod available - one requires Dead Money, and the other only needs the base game. Choose only one or the other. And, as usual, always make a backup save before installing ANY mod, in case something goes wrong.


>WHAT
Two launchers and three grenades, with a potato theme. These all have differently colored textures that I didn't take pics of (sorry, but I've been having a killer migraine) to differentiate them easily. A list of what they do and how to use them is below.


- Potato Launcher, Deadly: A good ole potato launcher that does regular damage. Its ammo ("Deadly Potato Ammo") can be crafted with potatoes and a cherry bomb.
- Potato Launcher, Frenzy: A special launcher that does barely any damage, but has a massive radius and any NPC affected will go into a frenzy, attacking everything and everyone in sight. its ammo ("Frenzy Potato Ammo") can be crafted with potatoes, a cherry bombs and some Psycho.
Potato Grenade, Plain Boom: Classic throwable potato. Can be crafted with potatoes, a cherry bomb and some scrap metal.
- Potato Grenade, Spicy Blast; A potato that goes up in flames! Can be crafted with potatoes, a cherry bomb, some jalapeños and scrap metal. 
- Potato Grenade, Concentrated Cloud Kiss (Dead Money version only): A special explodey potato that, in addition to damage, will reduce the perception of all affected by its blast. Can be crafted with potatoes, a cherry bomb, scrap metal and a Jar of Cloud Residue. 

The ammo for the launchers and the grenades themselves can be crafted at any campfire once you read the "Good Potato Dishes" magazine that can be found inside the crate where these are, down in Quarry Junction. They have their own category, "Potato Weaponry", for easy organization.


Since this was a request, I WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES. I may consider adding some more weapons at some point if inspiration strikes, but as of right now,I will not add to it or subtract from it. The mod is offered as-is. If there's something you don't like, feel free to change it yourself with the GECK or FNVEDIT.


>NOTES
The ammo and grenades can only be crafted in batches of 5. The launchers can be repaired with other Fatmans (Fatmen?).

As many of these crafting recipes require potatoes (for obvious reasons) a respawning sack can be found next to the crate, which contains 27 potatoes for you to use for your very own nefarious means.

These potatoes use a custom retexture because the vanilla potato texture is a crime against humanity. If you want it as a replacer, it is available in this here link.


>WHERE
Quarry Junction, in a crate next to the remains of an unlucky motorbiker.


>HOW
To install, extract the contents of your downloaded file to your "Steam/SteamApps/Common/Fallout New Vegas/Data" folder. Then activate the mod through your preferred launcher by ticking the checkbox next to the esp. Or you can use your mod manager of choice to download the mod automatically. To uninstall, simply delete the files from your Data folder, and you're good to go. Have fun!
