I love this gun. XD Especially all the variants! "Do I feel like wanton, unbalanced destruction today? Hammerhead with heating rods it is. Do I want a more balanced weapon, maybe even a little challenging to use? Let's pare off some of the more excessive stuff." <3
Could almost be a perfect mod. It just needs the damage toned down, the stock pistol is substantially stronger than the base plasma pistol. I'm gonna try to bring this in line with the base plasma pistol, as it should not be about twice as powerful despite using a much more common ammo, and maybe just avoid the insane barrel mods. They should likely use way more ammo per shot. Other than that, proper descriptions for the modifications are really needed, currently they are so vague as to be basically useless. Its almost random to find out what they do, with mods not following the base game tiers for mods (small mag, fast mag, medium mag, fast medium mag etc).
Wish there was a patch that changed this weapon to fit better into the vanilla game. It's a shame so often amazingly talented mods are somewhat spoiled by questionable naming or balance choices
I love the mod and its design, even if a bit odd when it comes to some attachements. But there seems to be many issues:
The coil (reciever) mod slot is full of descriptions that are very vague to the actual functions of the attachements The folding stock is heavier than the marksmans stock The AP costs of shooting this gun in VATS is HILAROUSLY big
I also feel like the stock options, both, are really bad when it comes to improving sight accuaracy (lack of sway) when using scopes, and are also not the best at reducing then the visual recoil for follow up shots as a sniper. The gun is still usable long range, just annoying.
Visually the mod is amazing and mechanically its just a tad bit overpowered and weirdly designed in some attachements or lack there of (sight options). But this is definetly a worthwhile mod.
Today in Prydwen, an initiate fired a hammerhead Glock 86 to his superior knight for a power armor test and killed her instantly. What a lame and childish damage balance, seriously.
Well, it doesn't. Installing the ESL File does not override the ESP in any way. The plugin is still being counted and loaded. Essentially, the ESL is useless. Are we supposed to uninstall the ESP or replace it? Most other ESL patches for mods would override it so that the game calls for the ESL. May as well have release an optional file with the hole ESP already flagged as ESL.
Well that's something you can easily do yourself. There's even a very easy to follow tutorial on how to do it, spend some time replacing them if you wish to do so. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/articles/2379

Really hope this isn't abandoned!

Kudos!
However, you still need to download the main file to use the BA2 resources it contains.

I found "old boy" am dealing almost as much damage as a fat man at level 60 with only 1 MF cell and the weapon doesn't even require reload.
