INTRODUCTION

If you are at all like me then you are a huge nerd when it comes to firearms. One of the main reasons I play Fallout 4 is for the massive variety of quality built weapon mods you can play with. It always bothered me to see a classic AK-74M be chambered in the incorrect 5.56x45mm NATO instead of the funky and interesting 5.45x39mm. So many wonderful weapon mods and they all use the same boring old ammo. CALIBER - COMPLEX was built to solve this problem.

SO WHAT IS CALIBER - COMPLEX?

CALIBER - COMPLEX is a framework of over 100+ new calibers including everything from the ubiquitous 9x19mm Parabellum to the ultra obscure .30-378 Weatherby Magnum. In short, this mod adds all these new calibers to the levelled lists in a balanced and easy to manipulate way. Through the power of FO4Edit you can customize this mod to anything you want.

Don't like a certain ammo type I included?
Delete it.

Looking for an ammo type I didn't include in this mod?
Create it by changing one of the include calibers.

This framework is meant to be easy to use and customize out of the box. I organized everything you need in a way that optimizes workflow and makes it faster to work within FO4Edit. To be clear, this mod will not automatically change the ammo types of weapon mods you use, a patch will have to be made for them to be changed. Using FO4Edit to do these changes yourself is very very easy and rewarding. I particularly enjoy changing damage multipliers into caliber conversions. This makes the game much more balanced and realistic. With real guns the only way to do more damage is to get fancier with your ammo. *Generally*

I only included calibers that are usable with mods that exist right now. If they be on the Nexus, Discord servers, or weird Russian mod sites. Remember, if these calibers don't fit in your particular playthrough then change them.

If you would like to craft the new ammo types in game than check out this great mod below!

CALIBER - COMPLEX AMMO CRAFTING

One more word of warning: CALIBER - COMPLEX does NOT use scripts to inject the new calibers into the leveled lists. CALIBER - COMPLEX uses direct edits to the respective leveled lists. So if you want this mod to work perfectly then you will most likely need to create a merged patch. Creating a merged patch is very easy in FO4Edit and there are many tutorials on how to do it. See the Below video on how to use this mod to its full potential.

 

***CALIBER - COMPLEX VIII IS HERE!***
So what's new?

32 new calibers have been added, check them out below!
A complete overhaul of the leveled list integration!
Overhaul of existing calibers to mesh better in the world and fit better in available weapon mods!
EVERY SINGLE CALIBE NOW HAS PROJECTILE DATA!
Check out an explanation of that below.

EVERY CALIBER HAS BALLISTIC DATA
Taking inspiration from wonderful ballistic overhauls here on the nexus I decided to make a crack at it. Now every ammo type acts as they should in real life. Calibers now have unique bullet drop, speed, and impact force.
Every single caliber has unique characteristics, giving you all the more reason to try everything.
For example, a .45 ACP is now going to perform far differently to a .308 Winchester and vice versa.
