Content

This mod adds 8 new weapons from Fallout (with some slight alterations to better fit Barotrauma aesthetically). Balanced to not differ too much from Barotrauma's own weapons.

Most are only found in wrecks, abandoned outposts or pirate ships and use base game ammunition types. Functioning as rare variants of the games standard weapons. Blueprints can also be found allowing you to craft them.

All with custom sounds, reload animations...

And fire animations.

Incompatibility

Any mods that override "defensebotround" and "defensebotammobox" from the base game might cause issues with one of the weapons. All other mods should be compatible.

Note: This mod is very much intended to be used with Guns Enhanced so that the base weapons also have reload mechanics.

Multiplayer issues

Animated weapon mods usually don't animate properly when playing online, this is due to the server only updating item condition after a 0.15 second delay by default. I made a Lua mod to make these updates happen without a delay, which can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3609855423

ThyGoodBoy for making Guns Enhanced which taught me how to do this and for the neat muzzle blast particles they created.
