What's This?
This mod aims to recreate the look of the Alien Blaster as it appears in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but with all the customization options a weapon for Fallout 4 should have. The base of the weapon is essentially a reskinned Alien Blaster, and includes the same options to modify it, in addition to two other sights options and three different base models.
This also makes Alien ammo craftable at the Chem bench.
You'll need to grab the notes to make mods or ammo, but it will be in the same bunker as the gun. Most mods require the same rank of Science that a vanilla Alien Blaster would need, with the exception of the Animatronic sights, Zetan fin, and the body types not needing any Science.
Ammo creation also requires Science rank 4, but to make up for that, changing the magazine from Alien to Fusion requires rank 2 instead of 4.
Why's This?
I had originally installed Elianora's Nuka Gear mod, and realized that the Nuka Blaster included was a reskin of the Alien Blaster with custom models. I also realized that mod was made before Nuka World was released, or even announced. "Oh, I've been learning Blender", I thought to myself. "I could probably do something like that." There were, I'm sure, other thoughts involved, but I forget what they were.
Where's This?
The bunker is located near the Robotics Disposal Ground, to the northeast of Sanctuary on the shore of the lake. Directions are in the images above.
The terminal in the bedroom area of the bunker has some flavor text. If you just want to grab the gun and the recipes, the info you'll need is in the journal entries for September 6th and October 9th.
Does this require Nuka World?
This mod uses custom assets for the Blaster. It does not use any assets from anything else besides the base game Fallout 4. Nuka World is referenced, but it is not required.
Doesn't Nuka World already add this gun?
Nuka World has an alien blaster that resembles the Fallout 3/NV model, called the Animatronic Alien Blaster. The sights on the model look different from 3/NV, and the gun is technically marked as Playable, but it does not actually appear in game anywhere. As the name would suggest, the Animatronic Aliens do hold a version of it.
The "playable" version can be added via console commands, but it is a single model, and the fire sound loops endlessly until the weapon is unequipped. There is already a mod that makes that one playable.
Future Plans?
Maybe. Might add a longer barrel, might add a silencer option, might add a rifle stock if I can figure that out. Maybe color options besides bright teal, also if I can figure that out.
