About this mod
A Rebalance of the Major Ballistic Rifles and SMG to be more in line with my other mods, as well as accommodating them to be on par with other weapon mods. With a couple more extras.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
So when working on a couple of my mod projects, I kept running into the issue: My weapons against the vanilla weapons clash so much balance wise. Plus I feel with adding weapons, there's less and less reasons for XYZ weapon to be handled the way they are since they're no longer restricted to JUST the weapons in the base game. This mod tries to touch up weapons while remaining as relatively compatible as I can. So if you run a right handed patch or reanimations for some of these weapons, you should be okay. ONLY EXCEPTION BEING THE SMG AND ASSAULT RIFLE. That was basically overhauled, namely the progression. it requires the gun being left handed so you can make use of stick mags with the anims I have.
Vanilla Assault Rifle Machine Gun (.308)
Handmade Assault Rifle
Another good enough weapon. But I didn't like the arbitrary "endgame" requirements. The Power Creep damage progression. The lack of a solid stock was a bit of a pet peeve.
Q: “bethesda le bad, modder le good” comment
A: Reddit is down the hall and to the left.
Q: Is this compatible with XYZ?
A: Your milage may vary. I did provide some patches for commonly used remeshes
Q: No Overhaul for Antistar's SMG Replacer?
A: I decided to omit that patch because a huge portion of my overhaul was dedicated to just the SMG.
Q: Anim Perms?
A: Give a portion of any donation points given to the respective animators, if you don't earn any, that's fine. Go for it!

Many of these balance ideas were forked from T6M, Equo/Enesore, CodeBlackCrash, and Equalibrium just to name a few. My ideas are derivate.
This mod leaves you with ZERO 5.56 Assault Rifle. Use your favorite 5.56 rifle mod!

Submachine Gun
This gun was probably handled the worst of the vanilla weapons by far. No, not because of URRR IT LOOKS LIKE A TOY NOT 1:1 IRL BLAH BALH BLAH. The balancing just straight up fucking sucks. I get what bethesda was going for, a very VATS oriented weapon, as the crit charge on the SMG charges 5x as fast. but no, sorry it was just too weak. Partially because they HAD to make it weak. it started with a drum mag off rip. This was the most overhauled weapon in the pack bar none. It may as well be called "SMG Overhaul and others". That being said. I think the SMG should be a bit more fun now.

Radium Rifle
Yet another "good enough" weapon. Mostly just tweaks. I'm gunna be honest, I'm not too sure if I overtuned this one. I mostly forked the work of Equo/Enesore.

Q&A
Q: “This isn’t realistic in the slightest”
A: UNLUCKY!
Q: Why no Generic Radium Rifle
A: I was heavily considering but I actually have a planned bundle of weapons made up of mostly vanilla assets that'll fill in some roles in vanilla, including a 7.62 semi auto carbine. so...Stay tuned for that.
