I notice that .50cal OSOK ammo is no longer picked up during gameplay. The Dude comes with 5 OSOK bullets. I've just started a fresh game after clean installing Nexus Mods and Vortex after many years of being elsewhere, and so wonder if I need to change something. Perhaps the order of the mods? Is there a way to do this? I don't want to rely on The Dude for all my gameplay here, but do want more than 5 bullets for all time.
Fun fact. The OSOK .50 caliber is the only weapon in the game that isn't nerfed. All about balance of game play and making it challenging. A friend worked up a chart of all firearms in FO 4 going by muzzle energy and had me mod the damage in. Zero challenge. But let's be honest. The BMG .50 caliber was invented to penetrate 1 inch of steel. 11000 to 13500 ft lbs muzzle energy. Compare to the RL second most powerful RL weapon in the game, the .308 with roughly 2800 ft lbs energy. But realism should be built into the OSOK mod. A special stock and muzzle brake is required, If modded for anything different the average expert will be lucky to get two accurate shots off per minute due to the enormous recoil. The .50 AM used in sniper mode also has an accurate range of 2000 meters or more and in game the maximum possible distance is less than 1000 yards. Therefore windage and bullet drop is negligible.
this is the BEST sniper rifle ever ! it has super zoom ive never seen any other one that can do this .its one of the best dont ever stop ! please keep this one going forever !
"Headshot from Abernathy Farm to Red Rocket Truckstop? No problem :-)" Been there, done that in real life (max shot was 2500 yards). So yeah, for anyone who may whine that this is over powered, etc., etc., etc., it's not. What IS possibly unrealistic is that it takes LOTS of practice and calculations on the fly. So, try to remember kiddies, it's just a game and have fun with this.
Pretty Awesome, is on all my backups, here recently with the latest fallout 4 update the rifle disappears, show shows the hands grabbing it and the scope can be used the bullet and sound works but the rifle itself is gone. Will re-install and see if it will fix the issue. UPDATE after re installing it it works like a charm. UPDATE: This my friend is in every settlers hands, now they got a chance against Deathclaws, and other creatures spawning all around when they are just trying to get somewhere and do a little trading! Looks a little too new but it tames even the wildest beasts!
