NOTE: You do not need to ask permission to include this edited mesh in another mod, just credit is enough.

UPDATE 1.3: Fixed Detection Sound Level to Silent, so now it actually works like a silenced weapon if you're within hearing range.

UPDATE 1.2: Fixed an incorrect ESM flag on the More308Ammo ESP. Newer archives include this fix, separate download of this fix alone for people with old installs.

UPDATE 1.1: Added a second version with smaller silencer (see screenshots). You only need to download one or the other, they both have all the required files.


Description
________________________________________________________

Adds a silencer to the sniper rifles in the game and a new unique silenced sniper rifle, all using the Silenced 10mm Pistol sounds for firing. The locations of the rifles are in the Spoilers section below. You get the new unique weapon from Agatha's Ammunition Box (Agatha's Song quest, even if you've already completed it). This rifle called 7even has a larger ammo capacity (7 instead of 5), longer firing range and slightly higher crit chance (7% instead of 5%).

I'm also including my More308Ammo mod since .308 ammo is hard to come by in the game.

There are 2 versions of this mod, one with a larger silencer which looks more imposing in 1st person view, and one with a smaller silencer which looks more realistic in 3rd person view. Take your pick.

There are 3 ESP files as follows (you can use either or all 3 as they are mutually exclusive):

- SilencedSniperRiflesStd.esp: adds silencer to all the standard sniper rifles.
- SilencedSniperRiflesUnq.esp: adds silencer to the unique sniper rifles and 7even into the game.
- More308Ammo.esp: adds .308 ammo to all the level 1 ammo loot lists (means you'll find .308 ammo in most ammunition boxes).


Installation / Uninstallation
________________________________________________________

To install, copy/move the files in the archive to your Fallout\Data folder, then select the ESP files you want to use in the FO3 Launcher's Data Files or with FOMM.

Bugs / Issues
________________________________________________________

No known bugs.

This mod will conflict with any mods that edit the sniper rifles: standard, Reservist's Rifle & Victory Rifle. The ammo esp will conflict with any mod that adjusts the ammo loot lists.
