About this image

This is an image from a FO4 mod I'm working on called Weapon Addition and Replacement Suite (WARS).

The WIP thread can be found here.


The vanilla "Submachine Gun" art assets are... well, I won't mince words; they're somewhat misshapen, inaccurate and ugly. Fortunately, sgtbarney kindly contributed some much better - and much more true-to-life - meshes for me to include in WARS, replacing the vanilla SMG assets. I adapted them for use in FO4 (making some minor changes and additions in the process) and gave them some textures.

Here are some comparison shots (in Substance Painter) of the standard Thompson and the unique "Silver Submachine Gun".

For now I've left the magazines unchanged on the Silver version since I kind of like the two-tone look, and it makes a little more sense to me than having a ready supply of similarly silvered magazines. In the same vein, I went with black paint on the wood as it feels more believable to me than the "black wood" of the vanilla Silver SMG.

      This is answered (as much as it can be at this stage) in the FAQ in the second post of the WIP thread.

    God please release these as a standalone. You know the pain of using that bastardized tommy gun. This is beautiful!

      It's too soon to speculate on a release date, but I will appreciate people helping out when it comes time for the closed beta - thanks.

      I'll put the call out for testers in the WARS WIP thread when the time comes around, so keep an eye on that.

    I thought the Thompson was something not for the first release. Good news then.

    Also, agreed with the black magazines. More logical and look better.

      It was initially going to be done later on, yeah. I'm currently waiting on some things though, so the timing worked out in favour of doing it now.

    Finally thank you! These looked amazing. Will there be customs animations for them however? The vanilla smg animations always looked stiff to me.

      Antistar mentionend in his forum thread that the Thompson is set to use War Daddy's right-handed SMG animation set.

    A total improvement on the vanilla SMG. This will be a much more real Tommy Gun! I definitely like how WARS is turning out!
