Fallout 4 is a great game but its guns are not great.

The modding community however has produced so many great guns.

The problem is the base guns are still there, leering at you.

Well no more. No more pipe guns which don't even look like they could work. No more "assault rifles" that look like they're a cross between an auto-shop parts bin and a Lewis gun.

This is a levelled list based replacer mod. This means it doesn't actually touch the base game weapons, rather it just edit's what you will actually see in the world. It mean it will not break your favourite quest mod but it may mean that you see vanilla guns if that quest mod adds it in. Of note some weapons are not replaced because they're fine, instead their level list is expanded to include more great weapons. As with all my mods I've done far more than just that, I have edited companions to use these weapons, I have removed manually placed guns (I may have missed some so let me know), I have also done what I used to call my "light and lore" patch but integrated. In short I have lightened weapons to more closely match their IRL weight, removed weapon mods which are too silly (I recommend some of mods in the collection which do this too), and I have renamed weapons to their real world names where I felt it was needed. 

I decided to combine my mods into one and use munitions to unify ammo. Further it makes patching quest mods easier as they need a single dependency. It also means that its easy to add to a collection.


This requires the official DLC, DLCRobot.esm, DLCCoast.esm and DLCNukaWorld.esm.

Yes you need ALL of the following mods to use my mod without editing it in FO4edit, which you can do and I fully encourage.

You can also download as a nexus collection (this is out of date and not great, collections are a pain), this also includes some fixes for the other mods. For MO2 (which I recommend) I think you need a plugin to get it to work, idk as I downloaded these manually and imported into vortex to make the list (which was a massive pain, I really, really cannot state how much of a pain this was, seriously I hate vortex, sorry but good grief).

You will need to download the F4NV-AMR and F4NVSingleActionArmy manually (they're available on their discord https://discord.com/invite/f4nv), these are now optional though I would recommend them.

As always these are mods I make for my own use, I share them because its not that much additional effort to do that and hopefully someone else enjoys them.

Before you ask the "scripts" folder is filled with dummy files to overwrite script files from .bsas to disable scripted functions from some of the parent mods (e.g. pop up spam on game start). NO files are copied from the parent mods, merely blank .txt files were renamed and had their extensions changed to prevent the script functions.

This will require a new game to work properly, as its levelled lists and existing copies of the old weapons will still be present
