About this mod
Makes tweaks to the hunting rifle to feel more powerful when sniping and not be outclassed by the revolvers in the game in its 50 cal state.
- Permissions and credits
CC skin not included. ESL file so it doesnt count towards your maximum plugins. This mod is 100% safe to remove at any time there are no scripts.
New Version 1.1 fixed an error i made that made the gun do no damage when hitting out of range targets. Remove the old version and install version 1.1 if you are updating.
This mod does not change the base damage of the hunting rifle instead it does the following:
- Removes the out of range 50% damage penalty so that your far away sniping damage always does max damage before resistances of course. Warning enemies get this too. this means enemies that spawn with a hunting rifle will hit you for max damage if they are far away before armor resistances of course.
- Increased critical hit damage by 25% so this means it hits for 125% critical damage instead of 100% stacks with magazines and perks and anything else that increases critical damage.
- 50 cal receiver has been buffed from +75% damage to 225% damage. So base damage of a hunting rifle is 37 after upgrading to 50 cal it does 120 damage before any damage increasing perks/consumables or any sources of increased damage. ( 15 more damage than a fully upgraded western revolver, and 10 more damage than a unmodified base gauss rifle. Still outclassed by fully upgraded gauss rifle)
- 50 cal receiver also has built in 40% armor penetration to help against enemies with lots of damage resistance like super mutants, high level death claws, mire lurk queens etc... etc... this 40% stacks with rifleman perk for 70% total and if you find a penetrating legendary variant it will go up to 100%.
- Warning enemies that spawn with the 50 cal receiver will also get these benefits. but by the time they spawn with this you should be more than able to handle it unless you use mods that unlevel the world meaning any high level enemy with any high level weapon/receivers can spawn. so enemies with this receiver will hit pretty hard depending on your difficulty but you should be fine. on survival mode though it might be really brutal with the 4x incoming damage. (around 480 damage a shot. x2 on a headshot. +40% armor penetration.) enemies do not get perks to scale damage.

I know there are many hunting rifle mods out there but some of them increase the base damage of the gun and this can make balance a little wonky when enemies have them. This is just my approach to it. The goal of this mod is simply to make the hunting rifle feel more powerful as the vanilla version with the 50 cal receiver is a very big let down.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compatibility: This mods compatibility is pretty huge as it only adds 40% armor pen to the 50 cal receiver and changes the damage boost it gives, it also removes the out of range damage penalty from the hunting rifle and change the crit damage values most mods dont mess with those values. so that being said its not compatible with anything that alters the same things this mod does.
It is compatible with wardaddys righthanded animations i tested it my self. its partially compatible with righthanded receivers mod but if you use the 50 cal righthanded receiver you dont get the 50 cal bonuses this mod gives.
Anything that buffs the base damage of the gun is fine (youll end up with an extremely over powered 50 cal gun though your game your rules though) and anything that adds new receivers is also fine.
If you wanna check if my mod is compatible with a hunting rifle mod that you like just install the mod (its safe to remove at any time there are no scripts) just take it a weapons bench and read the description for the 50 cal receiver ive added the 40% armor penetration to the description.
If you want a hunting rifle to overwrite a change this mod does to the one you wanna use just load it after this one or put this one above it and it will take priority.
