About this mod
A first attempt at modding. Alters some vanilla legendary effects that I felt were lacking. Just an .esp done in xEdit. Please tell me if there are issues as I use this mod myself. Highlights include stacking poison and incendiary damage, buffed Junkies, and +100% fire rate Rapid.
Now has additional DLC and OP changes, listed below.

First mod upload, woo. Does it show?
This is a mod I made for myself but thought I might as well upload. It changes some vanilla legendary effects that I either never used or I thought were totally worthless. There are other mods that do this but some either didn't work properly or didn't achieve what I wanted so I did it myself. In the images is a list of the changes as well as my reasoning for it. If you download this mod and there seems to be a problem, please tell me as I use this mod myself and would like there to be no issues when I play.
The mod is just a series of changes I made through fo4edit, so it's a small .esp
I don't really know what I'm doing so if there's a problem I'm super sorry.
I tested most of these using a floating damage value mod, the one uploaded by kassent. However, I didn't test it thoroughly (used only a 10mm pistol and didn't try all of the Favored Enemy mods).
Issues and concerns:
For those who don't want to go into the images the legendary changes are below too, in poorly formatted text.
Assassins, exterminators, ghoul slayers, hunters, mutant slayers, troubleshooters all do +100% damage
[Since each is situational I though it would justify a higher bonus, especially since carrying six guns in survival seems pretty spaghetti to me]
Crippling - 150% more limb damage
[I've always killed my enemies before crippling them so I bumped this up massively. I think kneecappers still has a use because its effect doesn't need precise aiming]
Incendiary - increase damage to 10/s for 3 seconds, stacks
[I wanted it to burn twice as hard for half as long, same damage but it stacks now so that's cool]
Penetrating - ignore 50% of damage resistance
[I think ignoring half the armour value is a good place to be, the 30% felt like nothing and over 50% seems too powerful, personally]
Poisoners - 15 dmg/s for 4 seconds, stacks
[double the damage and it stacks, I thought this was pretty justified since it doesn't work against certain enemies unlike wounding]
Powerful - 60% damage
[I'm kinda iffy on this since I want it to compete with two-shot, but for now 60% seems like a safe bet - may increase in the future]
[Changed to +100% in the OP file]
Quickdraw - 40% fewer action points
[More dakka]
Rapid - 100% faster firerate, +50% faster reload
[I wanted visceral carnage with Rapid, I think this is fine since the dps boost is offset by potentially ludicrous recoil and chewing through hella ammo]
Staggering - has four conditions:
- semi ranged - rng <= 30, changed to 45 [I wanted more oomp behind those shotgun shots]
- auto ranged - rng <= 5, changed to 10 [I know it's automatic but even then, 5% feels really low to me]
- melee 1h - rng <= 50, changed to 70 [I think this makes melee fun but still makes it so its not totally flawless]
- melee 2h - rng <= 50, changed to 70
Violent - 40% for both bonuses
[50% makes this more or less equal with crippling so I made it just under it but still powerful enough]
[Changed to +80% in the OP file]
Vats enhanced (ranged) - 60% accuracy boost, 10% AP reduction
[We already have quick draw, I felt like having another AP reduction was double dipping, so I just made it aimbot]
Junkies - 25% damage boost per addiction, allowing a total of +325% when having 13 addictions
[I'm always scared of developing addictions and never use chems, I figured this was a pretty good incentive]
Freezing - Always freezes targets, no more crits needed
DLC Legendary Changes:
Weapons:
Blazing: 95% for 75 damage [a reliable source of blocking damage, though the fire damage seems to be greatly inhibited]
Charged:make it 30% for 200 damage [higher damage than blazing but much lower chance]
Defiant: make it +200% aka triple damage [Two shot, powerful and hit man's exists, I wanted to make this one stand out]
Frigid: make it 50% [I really like this one so I made it 50%, no real reason otherwise]
Hit man's: make it 75% [Powerful and two shot already exist, and this one requires aiming - so make it a good buff at least]
- note: the effect takes a moment to activate and reactivate so some aimed shots may not get the effect if shot immediately after scoping
Armour: - Armour balance is iffy because you can wear multiple pieces of armour, so I'm sorry if these are spaghetti
Cryogenic: 25% every 10 seconds[A decent percentage but not as high as incendiary, because freezing is some great cc]
Incendiary: 40% every 10 seconds [A request, seems more than reasonable]
incendiary and blazing use the same fire spell magnitude: 75 damage (Although like I mentioned this magnitude is a big fat liar)
note: the fire damage on blazing and incendiary is heavily affected by resistance, where a magnitude of 55 and a defence of 30 led to a result of 26 final damage. 75 is the magnitude I put in, and documented, but the results are less than desirable - still, better than vanilla.

Issues and concerns:
- The penetrating legendary does not work on energy resistance, this is a problem from the base game, at least according to wiki sources and my own testing
- Certain damage based legendaries, namely the junkie's, need you to equip then close and re-open the pipboy for any changes in damage values to occur, these damage changes may also seem to apply to other weapons when the junkie weapon is equipped
- I don't know if there's a limit to the number of stacks you can do with the new incendiary and poisoners, I've heard too many (such as with the ashmaker) can crash or break your game
