Fallout New Vegas weapon mods wish lists

[CrustyOatmeal]

simple, what are some mods you wish existed in fallout new vegas that were never in the game or maybe what were some mods that you think should have been different?

i wanted more insane mods that either completely changed the way you would use the weapon or something to make the weapon hysterical to use like adding something like dish soap to a super sledge that makes it emit bubbles or something that changed the skin of a weapon like changing grenades into teddy bears, humorous things like that that do nothing other than something silly to make you laugh during difficult battles

I wanted more pistol mods than just an extended magazine. Honestly, the energy weapons had about 4 a piece and all I could find for the single handed guns were extended mag. No laser sight, no silencers, no scope (unless it came with one), and no quick load set ups for magnums.

Edit: Just read the weapon's mod part... Woops

In that case, a mod that causes me to get a smoke grenade... THAT SUMMONS CHUCK NORRIS IN THROUGH A HELICOPTER AS AN ALLY! That would be awesome for me at least... And if you get in the way of one of Chuck's punches, it knocks you all the way across the map and leaves you with only 1 health point and every limb crippled.

that does sound like an awesome weapon ammo (it would have to be rare like the holy hand grenades) but some grenade that explodes into smoke or sparks and then a character appears to help you for a short time. that would be awesome and very funny. i could see a ninja comming to your aid with the full of a pin

I really wanted more. Granted, some of the weapons mods were really good but most were under utilized. I think as you started to level up, weapons mods should've gotten better. Like a Cowboy Repeater barrel that decreased spread but increased weight. They all just had really fancy outcomes that made the weapon better, but there should've been some that had benefits along with negative impacts. Like a plasma weapon that fires a larger bolt that is capable of hitting two enemies at once, but with the extra bolt comes the potential for more degradation.

Also, removing Mods would've been good too.

I'd like a weapon mod that allows me to use VATS without getting a BSOD

I would have loved something like a reflex sight for the service rifle and the assault carbine, just something a tad easier to use than iron sights. And silencers for more than just the pistols and the varmint and sniper rifles, just because i'm always sneaking.

The 10mm handgun gets a laser sight, an extended mag and a silencer. The 9mm gets a scope and extended mags. The 44 magnum gets you a reinforced cylinder (increases the item HP meaning it can take more abuse before breaking) and a scope.

A laser mod that adds a minus DT per attack...

In 2 play throughs I have yet to see one besides the extended mag.

my wish list.....more mods....for everything....

every weapon should have at minimum 2 mods that make the weapon unique or change the way the weapon plays eg scopes etc, that was one thing i was truly disappointed about new vegas, they hyped up modding weapons then you come to find out for most of the game you get the mods for the guns AFTER they stop being useful.

The few exceptions to this were of course the 9mm SMG with its drum and bolt boosts (add in the P+ rounds and you have a gun that i used as my backup OH SHIT gun literally the entire game) and the sniper rifle with its weight reduction and silencer, and the cowboy repeater. but honestly any of the other weapon mods i used seemed just tacked on like putting a silencer on the 12mm SMG, or boosting the weapon durability.

There was so much potential for weapon mods they did a little with it but they could have done much much more..

Now this is not entirely ontopic but I didn't feel like creating a new thread just for this. I've recently started exploring Fallout NV modding (I've been a fairly experienced 3D modeller for some time now) and I've just released my first mod. It's Angelina Jolie's signature weapon in the movie Wanted. You can download it here. [http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38407]
