This mod introduces makeshift firearms. All 3D models except for the nailgun were created by me and this mod delivers them with 4k textures (nailgun 1k).
Items are redeemable from stash via bundle. Bundle will also give ammo and nailgun nail blueprints.

Easy installation: no tinkering or 3rd party tools required.



FEATURES

5 new standalone weapons and ammo blueprints

  • Nailgun - CO2 powered nailgun. Shoots nails that can be picked up
  • DIY Sniper Rifle - High-powered makeshift rifle equipped with a scope and canted sights. Press R to toggle sights
  • Refurbished Colt - Legendary pistol restored with best tools available. Comes with laser sight
  • Scavenger Carbine -  Scav workshop masterpiece - carefully crafted from salvaged materials
  • Reassembled Gatling - Ultimate firepower. Assembled and calibrated by finest PK gunsmiths

HOW TO USE

  • Go to Stash -> Extras -> Redeem Makeshift Firearms bundle (bullet icon)
  • Move weapons to your stash and craft ammo if needed

FAQ

Can you add *insert weapon* ?
Maybe yes. Leave comment if theres some specific weapon you'd want to see in the game.

Can you fix some animations?
Right now modders can't adjust animations, but that can change in the future.
I've only made sure that idle pose and existing animations somewhat line up with the weapon.

Will you make items proper HUD icons?
Yes, they have been made (and they are actually packed into texture archive) but they are not active now, for reasons.

Will you add 1k, 2k, 8k etc. texture versions?
Not right now. Maybe later if needed.

Why mod file is bigger than other mods?
Modpack contains +30 textures, most of them 4k. They just take some space. I can admit this is not 100% optimized way to deliver the mod,
but its easiest for the user.

INSTALLATION (READ)
  • Drag & drop data6.pak to game installation folder C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dying Light 2\ph\source
  • Drag & drop common_textures_PC_1.rpack and work_dx11.sdb to C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dying Light 2\ph\work\data_platform\pc\assets

If weapons are invisible, try this:

Rename mod's work_dx11.sdb to runtime_dx11.sdb
Before doing so, please backup the original runtime_dx11.sdb (its in the same directory), for example rename it to runtime_dx11BACKUP.sdb That way you don't have to verify files if this trick doesn't make weapons visible.

HOW TO UNINSTALL

    Drop all custom items before uninstalling mod
  • Remove data6.pak from game installation folder C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dying Light 2\ph\source
  • Remove common_textures_PC_1.rpack and work_dx11.sdb from C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dying Light 2\ph\work\data_platform\pc\assets
