About this image

A little idea I came up with to having "Rusty" variants of weapons that can be found through leveled lists and picked up in loot spawns. The base weapons will still be available however the new Rusty variant can be found at earlier levels, the weapons will also have lower stats. I'm not sure if people would like this idea so let me know and I may spend some time making this into a mod.

    Wouldn't even need to make them separate weapons, just some lower tier and more common parts with texture swaps.

      I can do it with mat swaps yeah, thats the plan but if I don't create a duplicate weapon then it will conflict with all the other mods which effect the vanilla weapons base stats which is pointless especially if I want my own stats for the rusty weapons.

      Technically you should be able to make a hybrid system. Use the rusty weapons for placement in the world, but have the keywords and whatnot for the regular pistol on the new base weapon, so you can slowly upgrade out of rusty. Have no crafting recipes or loose mods for the rusty parts so they just disappear when removed. It'll technically be a different weapon, but other than starting rusty it will be indistinguishable from a regular 10mm.

    Would be better than freaking pipe guns. Hope you find time to complete it.

    From the perspective of looks and time exposed to the elements, rust is quite realistic and cool. From a functional standpoint, this ammount of rust would render any firearm inoperable as they rely on moving parts, even more so with semi, and fully automatic weapons. A bucket of some Nuka-Cola and a steel brush might solve some of those issues.

      Yeah I was thinking about a restoring mechanic for the rusty variants to the vanilla ones so I could put this in between somewhere.

      Or as scrappable items that provide weapon mods. Cannibilize one to upgrade a lower tier functional weapon.

    I would much rather have rusty, crummy weapons and Pipe Weapons, to be honest.

    Well done! This how I feel all the guns found in the world should have looked like.in the vanilla. Workbench upgrades quality kind of thing.
