LB Rifle Series
The mod adds 6 new weapons, 3 industrial and 3 spacer, with the common theme being low weight and larger calibers.
Also railguns.
Starting off fairly tame, revolver in a moderate caliber, but with a slightly larger capacity and slightly lowered recoil.
When upgraded, the capacity goes down, but you get reliable armor penetration on a lighter sidearm. And it also accepts a new splintering ammo type for when you need that extra stopping power. Don’t forget eye protection.
The rifle that started the whole mod. Light and packs a decent punch, just be wary of the small mag size.
And when upgraded it becomes a pretty nice generalist rifle. Railgun ammo is cheap to make and is good at both penetration and damage, but doesn’t specialize in much either.
A big boomstick unlocked in the early game. Compared to the standard boltie it lacks sustained fire, but sometimes you just need a bigger bullet. Does the H stand for Heavy or Hunting? By now I don’t think there’s anyone left who knows.
And the final upgrade is a rifle-shaped anti-tank missile. It boasts a longer range and tighter accuracy than its HEAT competitors, but it’s damage might make it a bit less consistent. The fancy charged rails also take a fair bit of effort to craft.
Q: Would a non-CE version be coming?
A: Maybe. There’s a few annoyances to figure out, like the splinter frags and a retool of the LB-AT that are much easier to do with CE.
Q: Generic ammo support?
A: Maybe later, I mostly just want the thing in a functional state before starting the polish.
Q: But what does LB stand for?
A: Who knows? =]
Q: The balance is ♥♥♥♥♥♥
A: Could very well be, tell me what’s broken and I’ll take a closer look.
