About this mod
A recreated version of the Fallout 4 YK42B Pulse Rifle by 3nikhey (original author), the result is a better and more industrial classic Fallout 2 inspired model. Thanks to the help of 3nikhey and Templario36 as this would have not been possible without their help. The Pulse rifle is an end game-high tier rare weapon that packs a punch.

Special thanks to Templario36 for teaching and helping me with porting and 3nikhey for recreating the YK42B from scratch to an even better model. Your work is appreciated
Yuma Flats YK42B Pulse Rifle
Description
This mod adds the Fallout 2 Yuma Flats Energy Consortium YK42B Pulse Rifle to New Vegas. The weapon itself is rare and is ideal for end game use as it is a really high tier weapon. I've tried to retain the same features as the original Fallout 2 pulse rifle such as the original sound, mass, and value of the weapon, as well as rarity being carried by the most specialized groups of the wasteland such as the Enclave and the Brotherhood of Steel. Although the weapon is intricate and rare, only three are known to be in the Mojave wasteland. The enclave being the most specialized and feared group despite their defeat, has one tucked away which hasn't seen its intended use for years. The Brotherhood of steel who covert technology, will share it with the most distinguished individuals of their ranks in their safe house as well as being locked and corroded in an armory of radioactive goo in a deep underground vault, Vault 34 (armory). The weapon is suitable for tactical situations and is effective against frenzied robots or power armor as well as standard use making it useful in all situations.
The YK42B is an electrical pulse weapon that was developed by the Yuma Flats Energy Consortium. It is considered a far superior weapon to the Pulse pistol, having greater range, effective use, and electrical charge damage.
Future Plans
- Level list integration (extremely rare loot) as an optional file
- Optional addition to the Gunrunners arsenal with possible weapon modifications
Locations (TLDR)
-One can be found in the Vault 34 Armory on a shelf in poor condition under the tesla cannon
-The enclave refueling station bunker on a service cart near the vertibird
- On a shelf inside the brotherhood of steel safehouse
Change Log
Version 1.0 – mod released
Version 1.1 - Fixed sighting node and sound directory
Version 1.2 - Reduced Gloss and changed the projectile beam to the way it originally was (LAER Pulse Beam) making it better. FPS drops are still being investigated and will take time to fix, in the meantime do not give this weapon to companions.
Version 1.3 - Made a few tweaks in the GECK, PrinceMinusA kindly developed a better texture to be used and offered to use it here. FPS drop has been fixed by separating the weapon into parts rather than as one and reducing the poly count. In conjunction with separated parts, the result is less a far less frame rate drop when given to companions or using the weapon in general.
Version 1.4 - fixed FPS drops with the weapon by addressing significant issues with the mesh.
Version 1.5 - Plans to improve the heat-induced color tempering on the tip of the barrel to make it have a better fade and more details on the colors.
