you know what bothered me most about the acid soaker is the fact that bethesda has a bunch of handmade looking weapons into the game and instead of building on that they decided to put a deliverer and a combat rifle together. Now that's sad as is, but when the entire design of the acid soaker looks pointless eg the metal hand-grip looking thing on the barrel. Why? I mean isn't the point of that on a combat rifle to make the barrel more dense to compensate for recoil?..., this is a squirt gun. Why would it need such things. I love this mod and I genuinely think it's one of the most immersive mods on the nexus that fixes something that's bugged me for so long. Thankyou :3
>I mean isn't the point of that on a combat rifle to make the barrel more dense to compensate for recoil? No that's most likely a tube for a gas piston (gas tubes are much smaller) to cycle the rifle's action.
You know when modders jumble up weapon assets to make a new weapon. The Acid Soaker model was a deliverer and a combat rifle piece stuck together, some people find it a bit "immersion" breaking because it's quite clear what it is.
True enough that insaneplumber has done the same thing with weapon assets but their Acid Soaker looks a bit more authentic to the wasteland.
Nice job. It certainly fits that the Acid Soaker would be a pipe weapon mash-up seeing as how Nuka World is infested with Raider scumbags. Why Bethesda used the Deliverer meshes is beyond me. Not surprising seeing as how Bethesda can't ever release a game without a TON of bugs infesting it.

I also like how you included a compressed air tank in the handle, it makes the weapon feel that much more plausible.

I think this is what they mean by "less vanilla".
Here's how Vanilla looks.

Exactly.
