DESCRIPTION
This is a silly little mod I threw together to showcase a script I'd written a few months ago but never did anything with. It was inspired by the weapon Unlabored Flawlessness from Ninja Gaiden, which is the weakest sword in the game, but upon fully upgrading it, the damage it deals increases as the player's health gets lower.
Gameplay-wise, this weapon is identical to the vanilla BB Gun in every way, except for the bonus damage effect. It can't be modded at all, but I've added the weapon to all the appropriate form lists, so that all perks and challenges that affect rifles and lever-action weapons (i.e. Cowboy) will work as expected.
THE MATH
The weapon has a base damage of 4, but deals additional bonus damage derived from the formula ((PlayerMaxHealth / 100) / HealthPercentageDecimal).
In the GECK, the GetHealthPercentage command returns a value between 0 and 1, so 50% health is expressed as 0.5. So, assuming we have a brand new character with a max health of 200, who has been injured to the point where he only has 15 HP left, we get ((200 / 100) / 0.075), which equals (2 / 0.075), which equals 26.667 bonus points of damage, on top of the 4 that the BB Gun normally deals. This gives us a total damage of 30.667 points of damage per non-critical shot, 34.667 points if it's a critical hit.
The higher you upgrade your max health, while keeping your actual health as low as possible, will maximize your damage output. In New Vegas, the maximum attainable health, with all DLC, perks, etc., is 885. So, a character with that maximum but only 1 HP remaining would deal ((885/100) / 0.00113), or a whopping 7832.25 points of damage per shot.
LOCATION
The weapon is unique and has replaced the BB Gun that is leaning against the wall of the northeastern-most house in Goodsprings. The TTW plugin replaces the Lone Wanderer's BB Gun in their room during the quest 'Escape!'. Of course, if you're feeling lazy, you can always use the following console command (Substitute ## with the number of the mod in your load order):
INSTALLATION
Extract all the files in the archive to your New Vegas data folder (which is the same folder where FalloutNV.esm is located) and then enable the ESP either in your mod manager of choice, or under "Data Files" in the launcher that runs when you start up New Vegas.
