Combat Shotgun: Fully Automatic

[MrHermeteeowish]

The other day I realized that I almost never use the Combat Shotgun. IMO, it would be a lot more awesome if it were automatic, like the Auto Shotgun in GTA: The Lost and Damned. Since my GECK skills are sub-par, I was wondring if someone here would help me out! I don't need custom meshes and whatnot, I just want a simple modification in the current Combat Shotgun. Or if it's as simple as changing a few numbers and drop-down menus in the GECK, a short how-to would be appreciated!

 

TL;DR: Combat Shotgun should be full auto. Please help.

Open the GECK and go to File/data. Put a tick on the little box next to Fallout.esm. Click launch or OK or whatever it says. Once it's done loading, go to items/weapons. Find WeapShotgunCombat. Double click it, and then find a tick the little box that says automatic. You may want to change the clip size--it'll be obvious how. Click OK. Then save. It should be a new plugin, so name it whatever you want. Exit. When launching via FOMM or the default launcher, make sure the plugin is ticked in the data files. You're done--go play!

Ah, I didn't realize it was as easy as checking a box. One problem tough: it's not firing nearly fast enough. I'd like it to fire just a bit slower than the Assault Rifle. I tried increasing the Rate of Fire, but it doesn't have much of an effect.

Simple. Open up the assault rifle, copy the info from the fire rate box, and paste it in the same box for the combat shotgun. You'll need to fiddle around with the numbers a bit afterward, though.

To be honest, even I'm not sure how the ROF works.

Glad to see it's working OK for you, though.
