Big Guns Patcher

Framework to convert any weapon to use the Big Guns skill! Uses an easy-to-use configuration format, and works without an ESP! Natively compatible with TTW, and a few other weapon packs.

The Big Guns skill is made available to use in New Vegas via the JIP LN NVSE Plugin, however, the weapons provided with the game do not change skills when this option is enabled. This script will change that, and gives a full suite of weapons to choose when using the Big Guns skill!

Big Guns are your Miniguns, Rocket Launchers, Shotguns (due to recoil), Light Machine Guns, and your big revolvers (.44 Magnum). A variety of levels are configured to ensure that you have a balanced set of weapons to choose from throughout your run!

NOTE

While the Big Guns skill has been revived and weapons will use it with this installed, Perks/Traits and other NPCs may not be fully compatible. While NPCs will still use them, they may end up doing less damage and there are just no Perks in the base game that uses the Big Guns skill. I recommend using some other mods from Sweet6Shooter to help balance this:

Sweet 6 Shooter Perks - TTW - NV

Sweet Perk Overhaul

SSS - Sweets Simple Settings

None of these are required, but will make the game better for sure!

REQUIRES that JIP LN NVSE Plugin has the "bEnableBigGunsSkill" enabled. If it is not, the feature will be turned on automatically and you will be prompted (forced) to restart the game.

The configuration file for JIP is available at: NVSE\Plugins\jip_nvse.ini

Compatibility

Various patches are available in the FOMOD installer. Select the ones that you want to use. The installer has built-in awareness of the mods that you have installed, but any of the patches can be installed at anytime.

Included is an "Auto-Patcher" that will scan all weapons, and automatically assign the "Big Guns" skill based on the ammo type. So this means it is compatible with everything!

ySI - Sorting Ycons - Big Guns Patch

A Patch for ySI - Sorting Ycons is included in the installer so that weapons tagged with Big Guns are sorted correctly and show an icon. A NEW version of the patch is now provided that is compatible with ySI - Colorful Icons Fix by Stentorious if used, or not.

Configuration

Available configuration is at: Config\BigGuns\*.ini

There are multiple INI files present here, and each will configure select guns. To disable configuration on any weapon, change its value to "-1" or just remove it from the configuration file!
