Adds two new samurai swords (a one-handed Katana and a two-handed O-Katana), each with two visually distinct and very detailed upgrades. If you ever wanted an electrified, two-handed Samurai Sword, this might be the mod for you.

This mod was directly inspired by the mod Livewire - The Shishkebabs Better Half by lolzinator42. It was always my favorite melee weapon in New Vegas, so I wanted to have something similar in Fallout 4, so I made it myself.
This is my very first mod and I learned quite a bit and still have a lot to learn but I did my best and hope you enjoy it and I'm so happy I got this finished and can now finally give something back to the modding community, after about a decade of modding my Bethesda games. I hope you enjoy it and please let me know if there are any bugs, typos, other weirdness, or if you have any suggestions or improvements for me.
You start the quest by either finding a note on a corpse inside Hubris Comics and following the instructions or by going to the following location and then going a tiny bit more north: Don't click me if you want to find it yourself! You also need to have the quest Call to Arms completed or started and progressed far enough to delve into the lower levels of the Arcjet Systems building.
KNOWN ISSUES
Sometimes the lights on the weapon are misaligned, which can be easily fixed by blocking. The animations and the effects stop moving when the weapon settles, which also happens with vanilla weapons and might not be fixable.
FUTURE PLANS
An installer (FOMOD)
I want to look into custom sounds but I don't know anything about audio design, so no promises.
I want to make a little optional file that makes the electrified blades shock you if you didn't also add an insulated grip to the weapon like it has been suggested on one of my preview pictures.
