Update Version 1.9 (05/26/2022)

Removed Automatic Rifle and Shoulder Mounted Machine Gun from Supermutants lists since they lack the animations to use them.

DLC Weapons and Armors in the Wasteland.

Version 1.9

Have you noticed that you can only buy those sweet DLC weapons when you finish their main quest?
And that outside the enemies in the DLCs itself nobody uses those weapons other than you?
Or were you dissapointed when you bought Gun Runners' Arsenal only to find that nobody else used those weapons?
And what about the armors and other items?
If any of the above has occurred to you then we think alike, and that's why I made this mod in the first place.

I mean why can't other NPCs use them? It's not like you are the only one exploring and buying weapons.

So why can't the NCR use those brand new Battle Rifles from Gun Runners' Arsenal or some Powder Ganger use those Fire Bombs from Honest Hearts and even the Nail Gun from Lonesome Road? And what about a Supermutant Master with a Shoulder Mounted Machine Gun or Legion soldiers using Katanas?
Maybe that Metal Armor wearing Bandit could have one that's Gecko-Backed?


If any of the above sounds good to you then keep reading on.


WHAT THIS MOD DOES:

Basically this mod distributes the weapons, armors and items from the DLCs among several leveled lists so NPCs can use them, be it against you or even when helping you.
Keep in mind that not all weapons are added to these lists, uniques and certain others with lore reasons to be in their respective DLC are not touched, so don't worry about enemies running around with Holorifles or Cyber Dog Guns.
