About this mod
Turn your heavy weapons into sleek, factory-new chrome variants! Craft them at a workbench or use the replacer version. The mod is lore-friendly, meticulously detailed, and there will be future updates to include all weapons.

(Craftable or Replacer)
This mod offers two versions:
Craftable Skins – Apply the chrome skin at a weapon workbench. These versions are slightly lighter and more valuable.
Replacer version – All heavy weapons automatically adopt the chrome finish, with no stat changes. Other weapon skins are unaffacted.
⚙️Installation:
Download with your preferred mod manager, or unpack the zipped file into Starfield\Data and enable modding in the usual way.
The following weapons are included:
- Arc Welder
- Auto-Rivet
- Bridger
- Lasercutter
- Magstorm
- Microgun
- Negotiator
Features:
Hand-painted in Photoshop – Meticulously designed textures for a polished, high-quality look.
Colour motifs adjusted – Colours match weapon lasers for a more cohesive aesthetic.
⚠ Warning stickers redone – Most removed, or redesigned for a cleaner, tactical feel.
🛠 No known compatibility issues – Only replaces textures, so it works with everything.
Lore-Friendly – These skins could be factory-new, starborn variants, or just more futuristic.
Texture detail – The textures used are the same size as vanilla (highest is 2048x2048).
Other mods:
Chrome Energy Weapons
Chrome Shotguns and Melee Weapons
Future Plans:
🔨 Chrome pistols are next! (ETA late May 2025)
🔜 Once they are all finished, I will release an "All-in-One" pack for all chrome weapons
Known issues
In the craftable skin version, this is not an issue. In the replacer version, the Breach Shotgun, Sidestar Pistol and Urban Eagle Pistol will have some chrome elements due to shared textures. You may find they look better this way anyway.
