This mod adds my custom M4A1 build to replace the ARWC in-game. The mod also includes two optional files which provides the user their preferred magazine choice: STANAG (default), Lancer L5AWM, and Magpul PMAG Gen M3 (Black). The magazine additions are technically standalone and can be used to replace the ARWC magazine in conjunction with any, or no, mods should you wish to do so. The Blacktail M4 also features (mostly) functional iron sights. Note that the mod was designed to be used with optics, and while the iron sights are not perfect (e.g. they will clip through top rail lasers), they are functional should you desire a more bare bones rifle.
Optional Files
Lancer L5AWM: Replaces ARWC STANAG magazine with the Lancer L5AWM.
Magpul PMAG Gen M3: Replaces ARWC STANAG magazine with the Magpul PMAG Gen M3.
Installation
Extract and drop the mod file (.pak) into:
*SteamLibrary*\steamapps\common\Ready Or Not\ReadyOrNot\Content\Paks
Compatibility
This mod alters the skeleton and skeletal mesh (the model) of the ARWC while using its own, standalone textures. Anything that does not touch those should work fine. I can't guarantee every custom attachment will fit nicely. Any mods last updated before the 13th of December 2023 are less likely to work properly - use them at your own risk. Mods that affect weapon attributes/blueprints should work with this mod. If you are experiencing issues, then change the section of the filename "pakchunk99" to "pakchunk999" or continue adding 9's to force the desired mod further down the load order; this will sometimes alleviate minor issues.
F.A.Q.
Q: What is "Blacktail"?
A: It's just one of many monikers I gave my gun builds in order to help me remember them. Don't dwell on it.
Q: Are the iron sights actually functional?
A: Yes. They will shoot slightly high at very close range (height over bore), but will shoot straight as far as I could tell. Do note that the mod is designed to be used with optics; the iron sights are a nice little gimmick and not much else.
Q: Are you taking requests/commissions?
A: No. I will only entertain requests that would potentially improve any of the mods I've currently released.
