Turns the Minigun into a viable lategame option by adding several receivers that gradually upgrades its damage, as well as modifying the existing barrel types to make all 3 equally desirable.
Base Changes:
- Base damage increased to 10.
- Accelerated Barrel no longer grants damage. Greatly boosts firerate in exchange for range, accuracy and recoil control. Now unlocks with Gun Nut 2, and has lowered crafting requirements.
- Tri-Barrel no longer grants damage. Greatly boosts range, accuracy and recoil control in exchange for poorer firerate. Now unlocks with Gun Nut 3, and has lowered crafting requirements.
New Receivers:
- 5mm Receivers - Four 5mm receivers, from Standard to Advanced, each gradually increasing in damage. All 4 receivers have slight armor penetration, and the Advanced Receiver also slightly increases firerate. Requires up to Gun Nut 3 to unlock.
- 5.56mm Receiver - Unlocks with Gun Nut 4. Greatly increased damage. Slightly decreased firerate and recoil control.
-.50 Cal Receiver - Unlocks with Gun Nut 4. Devastating damage. Decreased magazine size, greatly decreased firerate and recoil control. - Micro Missile Receiver - Unlocks with Gun Nut 4, Science 4. Fires special micro missiles, dealing heavy explosive damage on impact. Heavily decreased magazine size, and greatly decreased firerate and recoil control. Micro missiles can be converted from normal missiles at a chembench, and requires Demo Expert 4 to unlock.
Ammo Leveled Lists:
Minigun-wielding enemies now drop more ammo. You’ll find anywhere between 50% to 80% of a magazine on enemies, with a small chance to find an additional full magazine depending on what caliber the minigun is chambered for.
Take note, any Miniguns you have on your current save file will not have a receiver, so you’ll have to craft one yourself. Other than that, all existing Miniguns should still work fine.
And yes, I know this isn’t the only Minigun rebalance out there, but I didn’t like the others and I wanted to learn FO4 modding, so I made my own. Hope you find this different enough to want to try out and use!
