About this mod
This a weapon for those who want to start the game
with a "One Shot, One Kill" gun, and have ONE LESS
THING to worry about.
- Permissions and credits
===========
Inside Megaton's entrance, there is metal box called "A little help".
It includes:
~~~~~~~
1) FOUR edited scoped .44 magnum pistols, nicknamed "Callahan", along with 20000
rounds of .44 magnum ammunition.
Four, just in case you want to give a pistol to three of your companions, preferably
girls, cause pistols suit thighs... something wicked :b
OR, you know, if you sell it, drop it, whatever, there's more where that came from :s
2) ALSO, there is an edited SNIPER RIFLE, called "Sniper Master", with 5000
rounds of .308 ammunition.
NOT really needed, cause you'll probably never want another weapon than this
scoped .44 magnum - at least, I don't. (Fallout games have great weapons, but,
the AP [Action Points] usage is disappointing.)
FEATURES
----------------
* Damage is 120 and Crit Dmg is 150. So, this IS a "One Shot, One Kill" weapon.
(DPS is 218, spread is minimal.) Of course, IN-GAME damage should be higher.
* The AP is ONLY (2), so, you can put enough hits on four, or five targets at once.
(Actually, if the hits are certain, you can put just a couple of hits on a LOT of targets!)
* Shoots faster than the vanilla one. Goes longer, too.
* Lastly, the scope is always nice to have, and it also might get you a distant
target that VATS says has 0 chance to be hit. PLUS, the gun doesn't block much
of your view in 1st person, when you are indoors, searching.
OPTIONALLY, I tried THREE more damage variants:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please REMEMBER that they ALL have the same low AP usage (2), and minimal
spread, etc.
A) Damage 9, Crit Dmg 9 = This is the same power as the 10mm Pistol. It is
HORRIBLE against heavy targets (Deathclaw, Enclave patrol robot, etc.)
B) Damage 17, Crit Dmg 17 = This is way better, but, again, it kinda sucks
against heavy targets (Deathclaw, Enclave patrol robot, etc.)
C) Damage 35, Crit Dmg 35 = This is the same power as the vanilla scoped .44
magnum, with - of course - LOW AP and the other modifications, and it is probably
THE MOST FUN, as it doesn't always take opponents down with one shot.
Very decent against heavy targets.
ToCoNcLuDe
--------------------
As for myself, I prefer the initial version I made, as I don't have much time
for anything, anymore. It's NOT extravagant, as you don't need damage
in the thousands, but, it can take down ANYTHING at once.
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~
Just, Fallout 3. NOT any of the DLCs.
Instructions <-- Step 2) is OPTIONAL. (But, I always do it)
************
1) Place the "ZzMyScopedWeaps.esp" inside your "Fallout 3\Data" folder.
2) Run the "ZzMyScopedWeaps.esp" with "FO3EditQuickAutoClean" (make a shortcut
to your desktop, perhaps, if you mod a lot). It should be all green.
It's good practice to do this with each mod you put inside the "Data" folder,
but, INDIVIDUALLY. Each mod, seperately.
[UNLESS you read something, somewhere, that one mod SHOULD NOT be cleaned].
3) Open "LOOT" and press the "Short Plugins" button. IF the order is changed,
NOW it should say "Apply Shorted Load Order". Press it again, and you're done.
4) Open "FOMM," scroll down to find the "ZzMyScopedWeaps" mod, and check
the litol box :b
Now, press the "Launch FOSE" button, to start the game.
5) Profit!
