About this mod
Weapon Weight Rebalance increases the weight of most vanilla weapons for the purposes of role-play immersion and weapon sandbox balance. Not the mod for a hoarder.

Have you ever rolled your eyes looking at your Pip-Boy to see a small armory sitting in your backpack, even on Hardcore? Weapon Weight Rebalance aims to naturally and unintrusively modify weapon weights to encourage players to dedicate themselves more heavily to choice weapons, while also rebalancing the sandbox to encourage the use of a more diverse array of weapons. Players should expect a 30-50% reduction in the amount of weapons they can reasonably upkeep and utilize. Most Explosive, Melee, and "heavy" weapons were left unadjusted as these tended to be weaker options in Vanilla. Adjusted items are from Vanilla, Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Lonesome Road, and Gun Runner's Arsenal.
TL;DR of full changelist and gameplay effects: Rifle gripped weapons increased in weight substantially, expect to use half as many of these as you normally would. Most pistols very marginally increased in weight, but often only weighing 20-50% as much as rifles using the same ammo. SMGs and shotguns weigh more than pistols, less than rifles. All overworld-found or quest reward Unique Weapons have their original weights (e.g., Dinner Bell), while vendor purchased unique weapons (e.g., Medicine Stick) are rebalanced to fit in with the modded sandbox. You will not have to leave a unique weapon lying on the ground, and unique weapons are even more central to late game builds.
