SamSeven's Purposeful Weapons (Shattered Space)
By Sam-Seven
Community Rating
Bethesda doesn't know how guns work, and I took that personally...
This project has 3 goals:
- Make all guns in more fun and enjoyable.
- Give every gun a unique purpose or identity.
- Make guns more realistic unless it contradicts goals 1 and 2.
Here's a few examples:
Ammo Converters allow Va'ruun weapons to change ammo types, granting access to laser and particle ammo.
The Star Storm (Particle Beam Minigun) did not have Particle Beam impacts, it now has Particle Beam impacts.
The Penumbra Scope used a default sniper scope, I changed it to the red scope to match other Va'ruun Scopes.
I've made dozens of other changes, attachments, and firing modes. (There's only 5 guns so it's not as big as the main mod)
If that sounds good and you're happy to go in blind, have fun!
NOTE:
This is an optional Shattered Space branch for the Purposeful Weapons project. Does not include changes to any weapons that are not native to Shattered Space.
If you prefer Shattered Space as-is, this mod is not necessary for "SamSeven's Purposeful Weapons" to work with the Shattered Space dlc. This mod may not be compatible with other mods that change Shattered Space weapons, attachments, ammo, etc...
If you want to know what you're downloading, below are "most" of the changes.
Changelog Diagram: WeaponDamage Standard/Exceptional (Notes) (Notes)
Longfang (Orion): Changed to Light Particle Fuse Conversion added for 3kv LZR Light Particle: 90/229 damage, 35 firerate, 24 ammo. 3kv Laser Ammo: 43/110 damage, 61.2 firerate, 36 ammo.
Starlash (Equinox): Changed to Light Particle Fuse Conversion added for 3kv LZR Light Particle: 92/309 damage, 20 firerate, 12 ammo. 3kv Laser Ammo: 38/128 damage, 30 firerate, 18 ammo.
Quickstrike (Solstice): Changed to Light Particle Fuse Conversion added for 3kv LZR Light Particle: 75/200 damage, 30 firerate, 15 ammo. 3kv Laser Ammo: 36/101 damage, 35 firerate, 15 ammo.
Starstorm (Minigun): Changed to Light Particle Fuse Conversions for 3kv LZR and Heavy Particle Fuse. Damage greatly increased. Heavy Particle: 61/206 damage, 102 firerate, 80 ammo. Light Particle: 36/121 damage, 120 firerate, 160 ammo. 3kv Laser Ammo: 14/48 damage, 180 firerate, 240 ammo.
Penumbra (Rocket): Reduced mag size to 1. Greatly increased damage and scaling. Leaves damaging tesla aoe after detonation. Added 2 new magazines, Direct Particle Beam, and Heavy Particle Converter.
Direct Particle Beam acts like a single shot gauss rifle or railgun, massive damage to a single target.
Heavy Particle Converter transforms the gun into a Marksman Rifle with a mag size of 12.
Terran Armada is next on the list, I have ideas but I'll need time to make that one happen.
Release notes
PC

1.0 ReleaseI'm happy with this and I can't just keep holding it forever.
Orion, Solstice, and Equinox don't feel like over-tuned copies.
Starstorm is fun and unique and not disappointing anymore.
Penumbra hits harder at the cost of being single shot.
Penumbra has new firing modes.
Penumbra has a proper Va'ruun scope.
This could've just been the Penumbra patch but I've seen plenty of other people make that. -
Version 0.9 almost readyShattered Space expansion to the Purposeful Weapons project.
Still running final checks on perk interactions, damage values, quality scaling, etc.
Making sure stuff is doing what I want it to.
I mostly wanted to get the page up so I could work on pictures, descriptions, and patch notes.
