Glock 86 Plasma Pistol & Perks...

[GaiusMartius]

How do I patch it so that the relevant perks are connected to the pistol, so that the damage and accuracy isn't borked by mid to late game?

Hello Gaius,

 

What you need to do is to add a keyword "WeaponTypePistol" to the weapon, as this is what Gunslinger perk looks for.

 

If this weapon can be upgraded to have full auto fire and rifle config, as well as semi-auto pistol config, the keywords need to be added via the attached mods. Rifle/Pistol usually are decided by grips (object mods), and you need to add - pkKeywords : ADD : WeaponTypeRifle/WeaponTypePistol - in "property modifiers" section. In case of full-auto, it's usually receivers or barrels. Look for the full-auto object mod, and add "WeaponTypeAutomatic" keyword.

 

If you look at the vanilla weapons and object mods, you'll be able to figure this out quickly.

Thanks man, I'm not used to Fallout 4 modding so the help is greatly appreciated! :)
