About

This mod replaces vanilla Institute Guns, Laser Guns, or Laser Muskets into Deadpool2099's Wattz Laser Gun.

All replaced weapons will be named "Wattz Laser" in-game, just like the original weapon mod, and will follow instance naming conventions

Replaced institute guns will have the Institute paint which lets the weapon shoot blue lasers instead of red.

This will replace the companion weapons for Danse, Deacon, Ingram, Curie, and Preston

Super mutants will be able to equip the Wattz Laser Gun so leveled list edits are not necessary.

Installation

1. Download and install: Wattz Laser Gun by Deadpool2099 - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/26386

2. Make sure the esp for that mod is activated and all the assets from it are in your Fallout 4 data folder

3. Install this mod. Select the replacers you want in the installer and click finish

4. Done

Troubleshooting

1. Place the replacer esp(s) lower or last in your load order. It's possible you have another mod activated that is overwriting the replacer data or your mod manager is auto sorting the esp's in a poor configuration

2. If an NPC/Companion weapon is broken, you can individually update them by entering the console, selecting the NPC, and entering the "Resurrect" console command. You will have to do this one-by-one for each NPC. If the NPC/Companion isn't equipping their replaced weapon after the resurrect command, open the console, select them, then enter the "openactorcontainer 1" console command. You can use this console command to view their inventory and force them to equip their replaced weapon and ammo.

Uninstallation

Simply uninstall with your mod manager, but remember: the golden rule of modding is not to uninstall anything mid-game. This mod makes data changes that may be irreversible, so you may have to load a previous save that hasn't seen this mod.

Known Issues

- Animations may be broken whenever an NPC shoulders cover using their right shoulder
