Have you, like me, stumbled upon a lovely 40lb-barbell and thought to yourself "Oh boi that thing would serve as a tremendous mace!", but then noticed that you can't use it as a weapon?


WELL NO MORE!
TODD CAN'T TELL US WHAT WE CAN OR CAN NOT USE AS WEAPONS!





I need YOU to give feedback:
  • Is the damage balanced? Too high? Too low?
  • Should the weapon be sold by vendors? At what price? By which vendors?
  • Should NPC's spawn with this weapon? By which groups?
  • Is there any thing else you would like to see in this mod?

Please tell me in the comments/discussion section, so i can improve this mod.



Features
  • The barbell is now a weapon.
  • You can now craft it at chemistry station, if you have 15 lead and the blacksmith 1 perk.

  • The 40lb barbells that spawn in the Commonwealth are now also usable weapons

  • The barbell is about as strong as a super sledge

  • The drawback: It's literaly 40lb heavy, and thus takes much inventory space, as well as slowing you down a lot, when it's drawn. (A power armor can help)

  • Fully usable for all humanoid NPC's, including Strong.

  • Sometimes carried by high level raiders and super mutants.

  • The barbell uses the mods of the board. This wasn't intended, but i think i they don't look terrible on the barbell, and it's better than having no mods, so i don't think im going to do anything about it.




Requirements

  • None, just the base game.



Installation

  • Install like any other mod: With Vortex, or manually. Plenty of info out there if you dont know how.



Conflicts

  • Any mod that changes an area in wich the new barbells are might cause problems.
  • These areas are: General Atomic galleria, Hardware Town, the Training Grounds of the National Guard, Federal Supply Cache 84NE (in the Glowing Sea), Wreck of the FMS Northern Star, Madden's Gym



Known issues
  • For some reasons NPC's can't properly equip the barbell. Fixed!
  • The weight clips slightly through the ground, when dropped. - i dont think there is anything i can do about this.
  • The mods are slightly off.



Future plans
  • Better balance, when i have critique from you
  • A standalone version, to minimize conflicts with other mods
  • A german version, because "Vierzig Pfund Langhantel" sounds hella cool!
  • Fix the known issues
