Paladin is a great character. He was a West Point graduate and a Civil War veteran. He was very highly educated and cultured, living in a luxury hotel in San Francisco. Most of the time in SF, he wore the finest clothing available. He had contacts in Chinatown and was shown on the series practicing martial arts with a revered master. He charged $1000 for his services and clients got what they paid for. He had a big enough heart though, that he would gladly help people that needed it without asking for pay. He became "Paladin" by defeating an aging gunfighter named "Smoke", also played by Richard Boone, who originally had the famous chess piece holster. Now, you too can claim the mantle of Paladin!

Update version 1.1: ReznovTheGreat reported that he had another mod that placed new NPCs at one of the weapon locations. One of them looted the gun that was there in a container before Reznov got to it. I've updated ALL the containers so that they are flagged as Player owned, as well as the loose items. That will prevent the game from allowing NPCs to loot any of YOUR new Paladin items before you get to them.

This mod contains classic TV gunfighter clothing and weapons. Most of these items are inspired by Paladin, with a couple of exceptions. Included are the following:

Paladin Outfit (+5 Guns, +5 Energy Weapons, +5 Critical Chance, +5 Unarmed, +5 Melee)
Paladin Hat (+1 Perception, +1 Charisma, +5 Speech)
Paladin .44 Revolver (Base Dmg 42, Critical % Mult. 2.5 like the Lucky Revolver)
Paladin "Carbine" (Base Dmg 88, Critical % Mult. 2.5, actually a .45-70 Brush Gun with a scope, something the vanilla game doesn't have)
Paladin Mare's Leg (w/Silencer, Base Dmg 48, Critical % Mult. 2.0, .44 caliber)
Paladin Derringer (Base Dmg 30, Critical % Mult. 2.0, .357 caliber)
Black Beauty (Base Dmg 65, Critical % Mult. 1.5, a 12 ga Lever Action Shotgun)

The weapons do more damage than the base weapons because they are the specially modified tools of a professional gunfighter. The Derringer is on the Holdout Weapons list. All the guns except the Carbine are on the Improved Holdout Weapons list. All the guns are on the Cowboy Perk list and Black Beauty is also on the Shotgun Surgeon Perk list. The guns are added to these lists via script to improve compatibility with other mods.

These items are scattered around the western and southern Mojave. It's a scavenger hunt! Here's a hint; you will find all this stuff before you reach Novac. Most of it is lying around or in containers, player owned and free for the taking. The exception is the shotgun, Black Beauty. It's carried by someone willing to sell you one, or you can kill him for it. Better get it one way or the other before he disappears from the game.

Spoiler for lost buckaroos.

The Paladin Hat is in the Prospector Saloon in Goodsprings, setting on top of the hat rack in the main room.

The Paladin Outfit is in the Mojave Outpost Barracks, lying on the counter in front of Lacey.

Black Beauty is carried by Malcolm Holmes, the guy that approaches you about the Star Bottlecaps. I always thought it was strange that a guy that nosy walked around unarmed and lived to be his age. Now, he's armed with Black Beauty. If you barter with him, he'll sell you one. Base value is 2800 caps. Or, you can kill him and take his. If you buy one and then kill him, you can get two. If you've already dealt with Malcolm, the FormID for Black Beauty is XX000ADD.

The Paladin Derringer is in the Nipton Road General Store, the building by the gas station before you get to Mojave Outpost. I opened the previously boarded up back door inside the vanilla interior and added a back office, with a few new containers. The door is locked at "Average" difficulty. The Derringer is lying in this back room on a shelf.

The Paladin Revolver is in the Nipton Town Hall in Mayor Steyn's office in the back room. There's a new safe with some loot and the Revolver.

The Paladin Mare's Leg is also in Nipton, in the paranoid guy's house. It's in his safe, where you find his "Declaration of Vital Essence."

The Paladin Carbine is just above and NW of Wolfhorn Ranch, at the gravesite on the hill. A large rock there has been replaced by a hollow rock with loot and this rifle.


The Paladin Mare's Leg is based on the mod "Mare's Leg - A Short Solution to a Long Range Problem" by Quicksilver500.
The Paladin Derringer is based on the mod "COP 357" by ArmchairOdin. I know it's not an old west gun, but it's the only decent Derringer on the Nexus.
These mods are NOT required to run Have Gun Will Travel. The Paladin Mare's Leg is not compatible with "ATTT - Armed to the Teeth - New Vegas" by Quicksilver500, like his Mare's Leg is. I didn't want to have to convert the other two rifles.
Lastly, before I uploaded this mod, I updated the textures by using DcCharge's 2k textures from his HD Texture Packs. I modified those textures in the same manner that I did with the original textures when I made these items.
