About this mod
Adds a weapon into the game as a reward for killing the Legendary Bloatfly in Old World Blues.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
The Legendary Bloatfly is arguably the most dangerous enemy in the game. The encounter can be completely avoided, but for those choosing to brave it, this mod will provide a little compensation. A special minigun has been added to the bug's inventory and can be collected upon killing it.
The minigun is taken from an old mod whose author has granted open permissions for the models, etc. I tweaked the stats some and gave it Rockbiter's amazing minigun animations. It falls between the standard minigun and the Avenger as far as base damage goes, and just to make the gun a little more unique I attached an additional special feature.
Now about the drop. I know many find it immersion-breaking looting hardware from animal remains and I would usually agree. But have you seen the size of this thing? And c'mon, OWB is whacky weird from top to bottom anyway, so why not? I also wanted some additional incentive to do the fight on an umpteenth playthrough. There is some documentation you can pick up to flesh out the find a bit more, and maybe provide an explanation for why the bug swallowed the gun in the first place (use your imagination...).
I'm thinking of doing another version in which the gun is simply placed in the vicinity, but for now there's this.
FINAL NOTE:The gun has a very high DPS that doesn't truly reflect the displayed stats because of the animation multiplier settings. When changing these, the animation simply didn't look as good so I decided to leave them and modify other things instead. The original mod had it basically at cheat weapon level for damage output with an insane DPS, hopefully this iteration is more or less balanced for a unique bullet hose. Let me know what you think.
