Big Game Firearms - Design Document

[SonAnima]

 Long story short the goal of this mod is to expand on the hunting aspects of the mod Mutant Menagerie Life Finds A Way by introducing firearms more geared towards hunting and survival. Later down the line this mod will also overhaul how the damage system works in fallout by making calibers more realistic. This mod is intended to be very xbox friendly due to the fact that there isnt much mods on xbox geared towards hunting. Im hoping that I can assemble a small team of modders to help fully flesh out this mod as right now its just me so I will keep the list of weapon mods that I plan on making rather short. Im looking for modders who can 3d model and animators. 

Damage System:

-The goal of this system is to introduce some more realism to the game as in depending on what caliber the player chambers their weapon and their target will determine the players damage. 

-Right now how it works is by introducing new legendary effects that work behind the scenes. These legendary effects boast the players damage by 150% depending on their target

-These legendary effects work even on human targets as well which makes snipers rather dangerous now as they too have these buffs

-In the future I would like to program it in a way that also reduces the players damage if they choose to engages targets with the wrong caliber. I have yet to find a way to do this

-It would be cool it there was a way to punish players that chooses to use the wrong caliber by making it so that when they kill their target there's a percent chance of them getting no meat from the animal. Hopefully there is a way to do this without using script extender (aka no squirrel bits for you because you choose to shoot the poor thing with a 500 Nitro Express round lol)

 

Weapons:

The weapon mods that I want to make will be geared towards hunting and survival. There are many weapon mods for fallout that are very common and I want to do my best to give some love to some not so common weapons. Here are some weapons that I plan on making

BFG-1 Shotgun

Browning BPS

Weatherby Mark V

Winchester Model 1886

Winchester Model 70

This will make a total of 8 weapons(this includes the 3 that I already made). I would love to hear some suggestions both for ideas to make the mod better and what weapons should I include as you never know I just might make it.  I purposely left some room for weapon suggestions. Feel Free to ask questions. Please understand that right now its just me and I cant make every weapon in the world. If there is a modder out there that will give permission to include their mod in this bundle or use their assets I will take it into consideration and decide the best course of action. As of right now these weapon mods will be made whenever I have the time to make them.

The Winchester Model 70 would be my suggestion. It has a long American history, and was used by the Marines for sniper service. 308, 30-06, and 300 Win Mag were used.

Yep and you can chamber the rifle in some crazy calibers as well like 375 H&H, 416 rigby, and 458 Win Mag. Some people had even successfully custom chamber their Winchester rifles in 458 Lott and 500 Jeffery.
