Does changing Weap[WeaponName] also change all NPC damage?

[Confuzedd]

I want to make Big Guns more efficient but at the same time I don't want to cheat the game. So I want the NPC's to have the same weapons I altered being used against me. If I change stats on, say, "WeapMinigun" will all the supermutants and brotherhood of steel wielding miniguns be affected aswell?

You mean, like, if you made the minigun do 200 damage, and you want to know if everyone will have the upgraded minigun?

 

Yes.

 

Those changes will affect every weapon of that type in the game. (all the miniguns on all the NPC"s will be upgraded).

the only thing that effects how the weapon is used ingame is the FormID. changing the EDID and the WEAP names will not change the record itself. so if you made a new minigun, gave it a new name and editor id, and left the FormID the same as the vanilla, all the miniguns in the game would use your edited version. if you gave it a new FormID, or gave it a Modindex other than 00, it would not use your edited version, you would have to add it to the lists yourself inorder for it to be used
