New Weapons in Raider Hands
Raiders now carry an assortment of brutal, makeshift weapons, including:
- Crude Blowback – A rugged automatic SMG made from scrap.
- Scrap Gun – A deadly, jerry-rigged firearm pieced together from salvaged parts.
- Single Pipe Shotgun – A crude yet powerful one-shot pipe shotgun for close encounters.
- And many more! Weapons have been carefully distributed using RobCo Patcher, ensuring seamless integration without conflicts or manual edits. From legendary weapon modders like DegenerateDak, Neheer, Pig and a lot more!

Expanded Raider Gear
Beyond weapons, raiders now sport a variety of armor, underarmor, and headgear to reflect their chaotic, scavenger lifestyle. Expect to see raiders in patched-together outfits, makeshift helmets, and new armor sets that add variety while staying true to Fallout 4’s aesthetic.
Fully Leveled and Balanced
All additions are implemented through RobCo Patcher, meaning they dynamically integrate into the game’s leveled lists without replacing or conflicting with existing content. Raiders will feel more dangerous and unpredictable, but the game remains balanced—no overpowered loot or unrealistic changes. For example the first you get minigun got changed to a chaingun, so killing the Deathclaw and the Raiders needs a tactical approach.
This overhaul enhances immersion, replayability, and diversity while keeping the spirit of vanilla Fallout 4 intact. Prepare for a more varied, challenging, and engaging raider experience across the Commonwealth!
Compatibility
This mod is highly compatible with other mods thanks to RobCo Patcher. Instead of modifying vanilla leveled lists directly, this mod removes the original raider weapon lists and dynamically injects new weapons. This means:
- No conflicts with other mods that alter leveled lists.
- Seamless integration with custom weapons—you can add your own without needing patches.
- Works with modded raiders, as long as they use vanilla weapon templates.
To-Do List
- Add more weapons (if requested by users).
- Balance all weapons based on user feedback (Leave a comment if something needs adjustments!)
- Remove unnecessary items from the Chemistry Bench for a cleaner crafting menu.
- Further weapon and armor tweaks to improve balance and immersion.
Fallout – The RPG Edition

- More weapons & gear to enhance variety.
- Fleshed-out factions with unique identities and progression.
