About this mod

Fixes the broken iron sights of the Survivalist's Rifle, and adds a few new custom weapon mods/attachments for it that bring it up to snuff with the upgraded Service Rifle.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
First and foremost, this mod gives the Survivalist's Rifle real iron sights. The default irons it has are a mess; the front posts are crooked and there is no rear sight to speak of. The new iron sights are taken straight from the service rifle. They were surprisingly easy to port over as everything was already perfectly lined up, I just had to make some small adjustments here and there and it was good to go.

And yes, I realize that the sights were intentionally "broken" by the devs but I think it's a silly thing to do and I'd rather just have a fully functional weapon, hence why I made this mod.

If you just want the fixed iron sights and don't care about the weapon mods, download the "Just Irons" file from the Optional Files.

If you have WMX (Weapon Mods Expanded) installed and would rather just use the weapon mods from there, download the "WMX Mods" file from the Optional Files.


The weapon mods added by this mod are meant to mirror the ones available to the regular Service Rifle. They increase the Rifle's durability and Rate-of-Fire, as well as the mag size to bring it up to par with the Service Rifle (the Survivalist's Rifle only holds 10 rounds by default, whereas the Service Rifle holds 20). All these weapon mods can be found in various caves around Zion Canyon, as outlined below.

Heavy Duty Barrel
-Increases Item Durability by 50%.
-Visually increases the length of the barrel to be the same length as the Service Rifle's.
-Can be found in Fallen Rock Cave, next to a workbench.

Lightweight Trigger
-Increases Rate-of-Fire by 30%.
-Can be found in Stone Bones Cave, on top of a footlocker next to the Desert Ranger Armor.

Extended Magazines
-Increases magazine size by 10, for a total of 20 rounds per mag.
-Visually increases the size of the magazine, using the curved mag model from the Marksman Rifle.
-Can be found in Cueva Guarache, next to a terminal and close to the Survivalist Cache.


Compatible with retextures (I'm using Millenia's Weapon Retexture Project pack in the picture). The "Just Irons" version is compatible with mods that change the stats of the Survivalist's Rifle, though not mods that give it other attachments with visual changes (except for this mod of course).

Requires Honest Hearts.

I'm still kinda new to mesh editing, so if you notice any bugs (visual or otherwise) with the Survivalist's Rifle please be sure to let me know and I'll try to fix it as soon as possible!

MINOR BUG:
sometimes when you first equip the rifle, it'll randomly re-equip itself and cause the model to glitch out. I'm not sure what exactly causes it or how to fix it permanently (if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!), but if it happens to you in-game you can just quickly equip another weapon and then swap back to the Survivalist's Rifle to fix it.
