About this mod
Vertibirds now have randomized front guns and randomized miniguns, to make for more interesting vertibird opponents and rides.

This mod changes up the Vertibird weapons systems. Each vertibird you encounter will now have a randomized weapons loadout. The front left gun can be different from the front right gun. The left one might be a gatling laser while the right one may be a plasma gun or a missile launcher. Same goes for the Minguns: They might just be your regular brand minigun... or a heavy machine gun instead, or even a grenade launcher!
This includes the ones you can ride!
Possible Weapons:
- Gatling Laser (Common): A low damage, but very accurate and very fast firing laser.
- Napalm Flamer (Common): Basically the Automatron Heavy Flamer gun mounted onto a vertibird. When the flamers hit the ground, they explode into a molotov-like explosion. The flames last longer however.
- 40mm Grenade Launcher (Rare): A powerful 40mm Grenade launcher.
- Tesla Cannon (Uncommon): Fires a long bolt of lightning that chains off walls and enemies.
- Standard Minigun (Common) (Side Gun Only): Pretty much unchanged.
- Heavy Machine Gun (Common) (Side gun only): Slower firing than the Minigun but much more accurate and does heavier damage.
- Fast Minigun (Common) (Side Gun only): Much faster fire rate, but far less accurate.
- Machine Gun (Common) (Front only): Your standard machine gun, except it actually does damage now.
- Rockets (Uncommon) (Front only): Fast firing sentry rocket pods.
- Missile (Ultra Rare) (Front only): A heavy guided missile launcher. Has a slow fire rate though.
- Fatman (Ultra Rare) (Front only): ... Yes. They might come equipped with a fatman launcher. Thankfully, it not only takes a long time to reload, it also doesn't appear untill you're very high leveled.
- Auto Plasma Spreadgun (Uncommon) (Front only): An automatic plasma shotgun that covers an entire area in plasma bolts. Slower firing and way less accurate than the Gatling Laser, but far more damaging.
WSE Version:This was originally going to be an addon for Weaponsmith, but I decided to make the vanilla version described above. Included in the Misc section is the WSE version. The following changes are present in that version:
- The default side minigun does a lot more damage and is faster firing, much like the default minigun.
- Different sound effects for most weapons
- The 40mm Grenade now uses the Grenade Launcher grenade.
- The Rockets operate differently and are CROSS Firework Launcher rockets.
- New Weapon: Simonov Explosive 20mm. Both Front and Side.
Known Issues:
If you load a save that was saved while riding a vertibird, your weapon will suddenly not have a muzzle and will do zero damage. Unfortunately there is nothing I can really do about this, but I have included a txt file that can allow you to fix it via a bat command. If you have this problem, simply open your console and type:
Bat vertgunreset
And it will reroll your minigun.
