Ok repost of http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1591956-fallout-4-needs-a-weapon-dlc/ which was locked do to hitting post limit.



Only reason Reposted is I am still working on this concept and plan to be adding items to it, the idea is to get it up to 15 or 20 weapons with at least 5 armor concepts.



This is a concept for a DLC, note to the people who are against weapon DLC's. weapons take time any modder can tell you that, while yes they are one of the easiest things to mod, it still takes 4 to 5 hours just to do a good base model, then you have all the other things you have to do to it.

Also note I am not going to push for this to be a payed one, though I can say if you think that spending 5 hours working on something means it should be free I feel sorry for you.



A mass weapon DLC in a story DLC is near impossible do to the constraints of a story DLC, in a story DLC the weapons have to fit the area and are competing for time with more important aspects like dungeons and quests. That said this is a concept for a DLC payed or free that is designed purely for adding more variation to the leveled lists and loot tables. This started out as a weapon concept but I have added more to it.




CONCEPT




wasteland armory



info: adds everything from riot shields to grenade launchers and anything in between. Weapons would be added to leveled list after finding vaults containing them, a few of the weapon vaults will be open upon DLC activation but thoughs would be the "cut" weapon vaults (aka the one with the chinese assault rifle)





story concept: teh weapons in this "DLC" would not be accessible out right, instead the player would have to search for hidden weapon vaults around the waste land, these vaults will contain many copies of the weapons with each one found adding them to the leveled list though out the waste land.



vault 001

location: lexington speak easy basemant (location added by mod)

contains: pump shotguns, slugs, 1 crossbow.

leveled list: when found venders will start selling pump shotguns, raiders will have them more often then double barreled



vault 002

location: underwater in the ocean, is a container on a sunken barge

contains: grenade launchers

leveled list: NA do to location.



vault 003

location glowing sea

contains: grenade launchers, riot gear (armor and shields)

note: location implied to be a swat armory.

leveled list: gunners and BoS start having grenade launchers and riot armor (in their paint to)



vault 004

location: the bardge crashed into a bridge (bandit base)

contains: chinese assualt rifles, 40mm grenades

note: the raiders have already breached this one as such this base has chinese assualt rifles.

leveled list: once cleared, venders start selling, as well as diamond city gaurds start using.



vault 005

location: wilderness

contains: bows and crossbows

note: basically an old hunting goods store vault

leveled list: raiders start using crossbows, venders start selling them.



other vault ideas to come will contain new weapon ideas



story behind weapon vaults


weapon vaults are pre war vaults designed to keep merchandise safe even if a robery happened, as such they have security the likes of which no one has seen. to open a vault one must enter in a password and open two key locks (advanced+) once opened vaults tend to contain hundreds of their goods.

Hunting shotgun

A pump shotgun actually has advantages over mag based ones in the fact you can reload rounds as needed, in a standard mag based you sort of waste time if you reload after firing a single round.

SPECIAL GEAR


RIOT ARMOR

info: similar to the NCR riot gear with out the duster (is useless in the a city area) yeah not much to say here , this would be a full body armor with a 2 part helmet. (part one is a ballistic mask that adds a hud, part two is a helmet). This armor would have the highest resistance against melee attacks of any weapon though.




RIOT SHIELDS

info: large metal shields hard to hold with most weapons but one can easily use a police baton or 10mm pistol along with the shield if the user crouches while using it will take 98% of all forward damage. like the Power armor riot shields can be broken.

health: 500

repair materials: glass, steal, fiberglass.


mods


::material::

balistic glass (glass look, default, 500 hp)

makeshift metal (make shift look, 700 HP)

heavy riot shield (reinforced look metal base with a small view slot, 1k HP)

military riot shield (heavy with balisitc plating, 2k HP)


the better the material the more expensive to repair.



::misc slot::

splayed edges (adds protection from sides removes ability to use weapons, though you can bash with it)

spiked (weapon bashes with it, deal bleed damage)

gun slot (fire pistol through a slot in the shield, lowers chance of enemies hitting your arm when using pistols with the shield)
