About this mod
Adds high and low quality variants of most weapons, with the focus being on expanding the base game. All weapons work with the perks, loot drops and holdout/confiscation lists the originals do. Low performance impact due to using base-game textures!

Variable Weapon Qualities
TL;DR- This mod adds a high and low quality variant of almost every weapon in the base game. Every weapon works with the same perks, gets confiscated/can be used as holdout and turns up in the same loot drops as the original weapon.

What the mod does:
This mod adds a high and low quality variant of almost every base-game weapon. These weapons can be found around the world in all the same places the originals could and they fit the same perks, holdout lists etc.
The differences between the variants are found in the stats of the weapons. Low-quality weapons are overall 30% worse in all areas than the original weapon and the high-quality weapons are overall 15% better than the original weapons. This is to make low-quality weapons feel appropriately useless when in poor condition and the high-quality weapons will have a rewarding stat boost when properly maintained.
The weapons are all fully compatible with the weapon mods from the base game, however if you use a mod which adds new weapon mods, this will not work with the weapons this mod adds. You can have both mods installed with no conflicts, however.
I haven't made any changes to base game weapons or unique weapons. This mod is supposed to expand on the content of the game, not alter what's already present.
Keep in mind that if a quest in the base game or added by another mod requires a specific weapon, you will need the original weapon (as referenced by the quest) to complete it.
Compatibility:
All weapons in this pack are entirely new items added to the game and as such should not face any issues interacting with other mods. Any changes made to the base-game weapons such as re-balance mods should not affect these weapons. Any mods which use the level lists of the base-game to add new content (such as adding weapon caches using existing assets) will be compatible with this mod and my items will populate the new content added.
