Replaces only the appearance of vanilla Gauss Rifle with Tumbajamba's XM73 Gauss Rifle. Weapon stats, functionality, weapon attachments, loot tables, shopkeeper availability, all remain identical to vanilla Gauss Rifle.
Weapon attachments include one minor addition: Tumbajamba created two suppressors for his Gauss Rifle. This mod includes both versions, as suppressor type I and type II. Type I has identical stats to vanilla's suppressor, type II is marginally better (lower range penalty, equal to the compensator attachment).
There are two versions of the mod: one with Better Mod Descriptions' mod descriptions, and one with vanilla's mod descriptions. Download only one version.
Requirements:
None
No DLC requirements
No need for the original mod
No need for Better Mod Descriptions, if you're using that version
Load order and compatibility:
Better Mod Descriptions: make sure Gauss Rifle Replacer is loaded after Better Mod Descriptions
See Through Scopes: fully compatible
Any other mod that edits vanilla Gauss Rifle will obviously cause overwrites, so do your own due diligence. If there are any unexpected issues with load orders and compatibility, please let me know. This mod was made to be as non-intrusive as possible.
