Hello, and welcome to this mod.

I have come to prefer the Minutemen, and out of the game's four main factions they are the one that my characters usually tend to side with (there are of course a few notable exceptions). As such, I like to use a number of Minutemen-themed mods; one of these is The Minuteman Pistol Standalone by shoothemoon.

This mod is a simple replacer for that mod. It only includes an esp, which only affects a few records as follows:

* The Featured Item keyword is removed from the weapon
* The name of the weapon is changed from "The Minuteman's" to "Minuteman's"
* Base Damage is reduced from 30 to 25 (same as the Deliverer)
* Base Action Point cost is reduced from 30 to 26 (same as the Deliverer)
* The weapon now uses its own (appropriately renamed) Suppressor instead of that of the Deliverer
* The ammo the Suppressor overrides is changed from Projectile10mmSuppressor to Projectile38Suppressor
* The weapon is added to the LL_Minutemen_Weapons_Random levelled list, manually and not by script

This esp does not alter or remove the placement of the original Minuteman Pistol in The Museum of Freedom, in Concord. Unlike in the original mod, you will find it spawning on NPCs; it does so in standard configuration, so any customisation you make to your own Minuteman Pistol will make it superior to theirs if not unique. The weapon does have the Legendary attachment point, so you can make it legendary by way of console commands or other mods.
Note that while this weapon is based on the Deliverer, it does not use any of the parts or mods available to that weapon; nor is the Deliverer affected by this weapon in any way. The two are not interchangeable.

When you go to pick up this pistol (in the musuem, or off the body of a fallen Minuteman) you will not experience the showcase screen or sound effect. This weapon is now rare rather than unique. How often you find it in the game will depend upon how often you encounter the Minutemen, and whether you have any other mods affecting the levelled list.

As always, if you are already satisfied with the original mod this one is based on you don't have to download this mod.

Please read the ReadMe in full before downloading and installing this mod. For optimum results manual installation is recommended.


This mod does not contain any of the meshes and textures from the original mod. You need to download and install the orginal mod, and then overwrite the esp with the one in ths mod.

Tools used: Creation Kit, File Explorer, Notepad, 7-Zip, Edit.

This mod was used alongside over 100 other mods, all either downloaded from NexusMods or of my own private creation (including custom patches).

Known Issues: None.

Skimpiness Factor: Well there was this one Raider wearing armour pieces and nothing underneath . . .

Playtest Report: This weapon performed admirably in the field, and was carried by a Minuteman patrol member.

I am reasonably certain that any problems I encounter are usually due to other mods that have issues of their own, pre-existing known bugs in the game, or the general issues that may arise from having over 100 mods installed.

Disclaimer: I do not play on survival mode, as the imposed restrictions make it impossible to fix issues I repeatedly encounter in the base game. Therefore any issues encountered using this mod in that mode cannot be addressed.

These mods are my way of sharing some of the fun I have playing Fallout 4. If you like my mods, please give a thumbs up so others can know they are appreciated; and, feel free to recommend them to others. Thank you for reading, and enjoy your gaming.
