MiniScrapGun Idea

[bOMKHA]

Hi there!
I'm a new comer in this forum and since I never modded any game, I'm not very experience with it. But I'm curous and I got some ideas of modding that could be funny and lore friendly as a big Fallout Serie fan.
Oneof the Ideas I wanted to begin with was a weapon addition that could complement the existing weapons categories.

The Mini-Scrap-Gun

It's kind of a Minigun but scrap crafted and using .38 ammunition at low level and can be upgraded to launch scrap metal (that would be a new type of ammunition, basically 1 metal could make 4 scrap metal), or even railway spikes (at the cost of a loose of firerate obviously).

Here is an artwork I end up with, still a wip but it's a base art:

if some one have the will of doing a weapon as such or could help me with some basinc meshes for blender, it would be kind, otherwise, Anyone pleased by this Idea can steal it and do it and I could even make some more art for the conception.

I also liked the idea of making a Raider A.A jetpack (with custom appearance more like a steam powered jetpack only for high level encounters) and custom launcher (for regular and handcrafted grenades and molotovs and eventually mini nukes).

Thanks all for your work and here is a little Fallout 2 fanart of frank horrigan with updated Fallout 4 gears just for fun:

Nice drawing, and I like the idea.

 

Though this is probably better posted over at the "Mod Requests" section of the forum, if you haven't already posted there.

Yeah, I putted it in request too, I really lack skills for modeling, but I m trying to learn the basics.

I like the idea of the cobbled-together .38 minigun. Not so much the scrap-blaster concept though.

A 38 minigun? I dunno man, the base minigun already does worse damage than an automatic pipe pistol. :sad: Is it that you like the aesthetics of the idea or you think it fills a gameplay niche?

Thanks all for your feedbacks!

In order to precise what the concept ment in my mind, if it wasn't clear in my explanation:

I thought the lacks of damage of the 5mm minigun could be balanced by the fairly superior firerate, and abundance of scrap metal could make it affordable , it's some kindof a minishotgun/ flame thrower in fact. The idea was to make a minigun to go with the pillard A.A Armor frame with an interesting gameplay (high spreading and fire-rate, more like a flame thrower with a higher range with a hand crafted look, well, I liked the idea).And the fact that it could be upgraded with railway spikes in higher level could have given a reason for keeping it. It was more like a early weapon, that could be used as a first minigun or for peoplethat likes pillard-like gears.
The early version was ment to use .38 caliber but I thought that with the gun-crafter perk rank 2 (or maybe 1) you could have bringed the scrap metal version to make a stupidly high firerate enhance, and then at gun nut rank 4 and rank 2 of scrounger luck perk, craft the railway minigun
I also liked the Idea of a railway spikes minigun, with ammunition crafting mods of course, and to end with minigun, I didn't test it with minigun perks but I found it really weak too, but their is some minigun overhaul players makes their sauce.

Anyway, Blender looks a bit friendlier to me, I'll put some rendering of the model as soon as it looks fair to me to show!

I'll keep this post up to have feedbacks!
