Ever wonder why that locked safe behind the Police Chief’s desk, or the one in the Prewar businessman’s office always seemed to have some homemade pipe weapon in them rather than a proper store bought weapon? It bothered me enough that I made this small tweak.
Features
Any container that was designated as ‘Prewar’ in the game files will no longer distribute pipe weapons.
The following will drop instead:
10mm Pistols and 44 Revolvers when a small weapon is called for.
Hunting Rifles, Combat Rifles and the occasional Combat Shotgun or Assault Rifle where a long weapon is called for.
Notes
This only effects safes and containers that Bethesda specifically used the terminology ‘Prewar’ on in their files. Safes and containers that are being used by Raiders or Gunners will still drop weapons as expected, including the pipe weapons.
If anyone finds a container that’s dropping a pipe-weapon and they feel it shouldn’t be, please leave a comment with its location and I’ll give it a look.
