[@Zack_Wester]

@@CloudedPeach for me the biggest problem whit the "assult rifle" as stock its semi auto whit a 10 round mag (I think). when in reality and even in game code its refered to as a MG, and the art book refers to it as a MG for Power armor suits (instead of having everyone running around whit a Minigun they would run around whit the "assult rifle in MG setting). Because if it was in default automatic whit a drum mag and a function that if you was in turret mode or in a power armor (NPC and player) whit a belt feed backpack/ground it would had been a lot more welcomed.

[@UKeXtremeMedia]

For anyone wanting to mod fallout 4 for the first time, try to avoid downloading a mod just because it has the most endorsements and downloads or you will end up with guns like the m2216, which only has the endorsements because it was one of the first weapon mods to be made for fallout 4 back in 2016. Weapon mods for fallout have come a long way since then, but you might have to look a little bit harder to find the good ones.

[@hakonandreasolaussen1949]

Searching by endorsements within the last year is a good place to start, but really youtube lists of top however many guns of whichever type is a very good place to find good gun mods of whichever kind. Degenerate Dak and Yaboybrandyboy both have some very good mod lists

[@MurkyWaters677]

FX0x01 makes the best weapon mods for Fallout 4 imo. That is if you want real life firearms in the game. Their textures, reload animations, and sounds are on point.

[@eldelbarrio2]

You can ideally use endorsements past a certain year, I forget which one. 2018 is a good starting point on Nexus, modders caught on to a lot after the first few years of modding

[@lostphoenix1911]

I’d also like to add:Restrain from downloading mods on your first playthrough. Although I love my modded game, I wouldn’t trade it for my memories of jumping into vanilla Fallout for the first time.

[@donkeysunited]

@@lostphoenix1911 Exactly, you have to know the game's weaknesses before you can appreciate the strength of a mod.

[@OVKatz]

21:47 Precisely right! The m2216 was one of the first new weapon mods for Fallout 4 Because of this, people weren't sure how to use custom animations within fallout. Nor were they sure it even supported them. So the changes were made so they could use the SMG reload animations and have it make any amount of sense.

[@creopictures]

We've come a long way since then. Even Fallout New Vegas now supports custom animations for weapons. Wild!

[@conf3tti876]

I think it was the second one? Third? I fondly remember the day that the R91 popped up on the Nexus.

[@r8revolver773]

One thing to mention about the massive revolver is that it was (canonically) designed to be used with power armour so they made it over the top in size.

[@evanwickstrom5698]

The kitbashing in it just makes it way too cursed for me.

[@Ninjat126]

I think most of the "big guns" of Fallout are intended for use in PA, but the games let you use them without PA if you want. Some games (New Vegas?) have a Strength requirement for weapons, even, so someone with an inhuman 10 Str can use a Minigun unassisted but mere mortals probably want the Str boost from power armour.

It's cool to see Daks mod getting some recognition from Johnathan Ferguson of all people. It's really one of the best direct reworks of that travesty of steel and polymer mishmash to have been made.

[@uberd3323]

Gonna be honest, I know F4’s AR design is funky and Seussian but I like it. I think the majority of gripes with it comes from the fact that its even called an Assault Rifle, which it wasnt designed to be. The handmade AK from Nuka World was cut from the base game during development, and the intended LMG got renamed to Assault Rifle to fill the niche. Funky series-original weapons that dont make complete sense have always been a part of Fallout (the original 10mm pistol from the Isometric games was a strange conglomeration of a mag-fed pistol and a revolver; Fallout 3 changed it to a more Deagle-inspired look) and I think its more fun to have a few oddball guns in there than constantly reuse the same iconic modern firearms over and over again like every other shooter does. Thats not to say that actual real-world guns shouldnt be there, I just think the stylistic variety is more interesting and gives the Pre-War time period its own identity.

[@ez-bakeoven6797]

@@uberd3323 You're right, it definitely does have a place in the games, it's just not the best of the funky guns that have existed in it. If anything it's just the combination of parts- and of course the designation- that is so irksome. There's also the fact they had a perfectly good design already in the form of the R91 and replaced it with the new one, which is what makes it such a travesty to me.

[@somethingguy912]

What was so odd to me was the exaggerated change from it's depiction in Fallout 3, which was just a simple model of a G3A1, which fit more of the bill of being a 'assault rifle' than this Lewis-Gun-took-a-MG34-around-the-corner-and-smoked-Steampunk-with-it kind of look In Fallout 4. It was just an absurd design, even by the retrofuturistic standard of the Fallout series.

[@SecularFelinist]

He'd love Dak's shoulder mounted Browning.

[@ReprobiCrucesignati]

When first gun mods for fallout 4 were popping up, ALOT of them did not have custom animations. "M16A4" in the video seems to be one of them, hence the crank on the side of the gun to make animations make sense

[@Zack_Wester]

yep. and even after custom animation become available there was a time where the only way to have custom animation was to replace existing animations. took a long time until a weapon could add its own animation only said weapon mod gun would use and not mess whit any other weapon mod or vanilla.

[@anirvana]

@@Zack_Wester Are you sure you aren't confusing Fallout 4 with New Vegas? I'm pretty sure Bethesda had already implemented a per-weapon reload system by Fallout 4. Though I'm not entirely sure myself tbh since I haven't modded FO4 much compared to FNV.

[@Zack_Wester]

@@anirvana no no weapon animation in fallout 3, 3 NW and 4. was a hard coded list that looked like this. .animation = the file format animation was in. rifle1_reload.animation rifle2_reload.animation pistol1_reload.animation and so on. and there was no way to edit that file or data table that contain the list as doing so would break the engine completely. that said I think there was like 1 or two free spots that was not used and you could use. but as a mod have free slot 1 or 2 been taken already by another mod or not was not posible to find out. so you could had 20 mods that all overwrote each other free slot 1 animation while the slot 2 was still unused. moders finally found a solution way later. another problem was the let say there is a mod that added a Bulpup weapon animation to its bulpup weapon (there are no bulpupp weapons in fallout vanila). mod two that adds a bulpupp animation can´t really pigyback on the first mods animation for a long time.

[@anirvana]

@@Zack_Wester I do know how New Vegas and 3 handle animations, since I make animation sets myself lol. Haven't done so for FO4, was wondering if Bethesda changed that since I don't remember having to download any dependency mods (e.g. kNVSE for FNV) for any mods that added custom made animations in FO4.

[@fireaza]

The VR game _Into the Radius_ might tickle Jonathan's fancy! Aside from the usual more realistic firearm interactivity you typically get with VR shooters, this one also includes the need to manually load your magazines (which are physical objects in the game that need to retained, since you can't use the gun without the correct magazine), bullet by bullet, from ammo boxes, in addition to needing to clean and maintain your guns and magazines. I'm not talking an option in a menu either! To clean the barrel, you need to tear off a bit of paper, attach it to the cleaning rod, and jam it into the barrel and move it back and forward. To clean the outside, you spray on some WD-40 and scrub it with a toothbrush. And you need to get at *ALL* areas of the gun, it won't be properly clean unless you scrub *EVERYWHERE!*

Jonathan would have a field day with the Modern Firearms mod.

[@Destrado_]

I hope you guys do a part 2 of this. Fallout 4 has so many amazing weapon mods and they are very high quality because the people that make them do it purely out of passion and fun.

[@robertl426]

Very nice of Jonathan to give someone a shout out at the end, such a gentleman.

[@marianolaguzzi]

I'd love to see a part two with more carefully picked mods, because a lot of the ones in this video are fairly old and are nowhere near the quality of modern ones (for example just compare the m2216 and the mk18). I would recommend mods by fx0x01, novafinch and subleader in particular

[@Pigness7]

Hopefully next time they'll actually credit the mod authors

[@DevilishBeaver0]

Amazing video, modders put more care into improving these games than the actual developers

[@TenBear]

I'd like to see Jonathan's reaction to the guns from the Metal Gear series

[@neuschwarzlich5666]

A gun expert and now a sword expert? this channel is gold

[@colonelcrackerz2320]

Please do the weapons from the Bioshock series

[@moistcheese3386]

Next do wolfenstein new order

[@hellcore9153]

OK I would like for this to be a series because there are some really good mods out there. (And these aren't just the default Bethesda mods these are Nexus mods) Combined Arms, Combined Arms expansion pack, service rifle (by Deadpool2099), the combat rifle retexture by Degenerate Dak, zap gun, homemade smg, handmade shotgun, tinkerer's raygun, Remington 870, Ithaca model 37, mg42 and mg34, hunting shotgun, caravan shotgun, winchester model 1897, (and I don't remember the name but, it's a handmade Anti-material rifle, a different one than seen in the video).

[@abhaykumarsingh6359]

Pls do more of these, these mod vids are so enjoyable and there are many many gun mods for fo4

[@HIT14MAN2]

Do SAO Fatal Bullet and COD Advanced Warfare

[@kveiks2]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series would be nice

[@user-nf6qg1gv6i]

I love this Ukrainian game Stalker

[@robertopedrollo521]

The next video, about the swordmaster guy, should be really fun too

[@Tapperje16]

I do love that he knows what happend to kentucky ballistics in the 2nd clip, really amazing to see that!

[@arx2571]

I absolutely agree with Jonathan when it comes to modding. I want my mods to feel like an extension of the universe instead of something thrown in from ours that's why I hate the mods that just throw in ARs and AKs without any consideration to the universe

[@seanrosenau2088]

There are already AK's in Fallout 4 in the Nuka-World DLC. They call them Handmade Rifles.

[@avocadoanus]

If you look up Fallout 2's weapon arsenal, you can see FALs, P90s, Desert Eagles, Pancor Jackhammers and even G11s . It's Bethesda that decided not to include modern weaponry in their newer games for some reason.

[@user-nf6qg1gv6i]

Let's give the following video about weapons from the Ukrainian game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

[@VoidedEmptiness]

For Jonathan, I think for the M2045 rifle mod, I think the cartridge in the center could be a larger anti materiel cartridge such as 14.5x114mm or larger if that isn’t large enough, like maybe 20mm like the Denel NTW if 14.5 wasnt large enough.

[@bigbadbusta3871]

its been so great watching these mods come out over the years Im so happy to see the fallout 4 mod scene shine here. All the those modders are incredible at what they do and Deserve huge kudos deffo show them some love on nexus mods.

[@blueshield1675]

Can you at least credit the modders who made the guns ?

[@verdammterlugner4458]

uwu

[@mFeeTPUBG]

[@JG-jc8dm]

Jonathan's chosen field of nerdery wouldn't be mine but he sure knows his stuff. The fact he clearly plays these games too makes him the perfect expert for these videos.

[@Youcannotfalter]

Camera and sound quality has gotten a lot better. Kudos to the upgrade.

[@sean7332]

milking this guy now

[@Ghostred10101]

True

[@EDips875]

Not complaining though love these videos

[@philo2189]

He's getting paid

[@SavageBunnyGetMoney]

I'll allow it 🐄🍼

[@torgranael]

Something Jonathan missed with the 45 Handmade Revolver: the primers. I got excited seeing intact primers for unspent rounds along with the punched primers for spent rounds. That doesn't happen often and deserves a mention.

[@AgentKryos]

Love how he has the em2 in the back until its segment comes, then replaces it with the thomson when he grabs and talks about the em2

[@MrWaffel]

9:41 So you might say, it's a... bootstock? 👀

[@All-Fur-Coat_No-Trousers]

I'm so stoked to DD's MG mod featured here. Jonathan got to look at it and appreciate it, that's a right honor.

[@LikeIGiveAShit]

The big round in the center of the M2045 cylinder is supposed to be a shotgun slug according to the description of the mod and does 200% more damage if i remember correctly

[@lordofonion-rings9426]

Thank you ! Always enjoy the works of you guys. FO4 has more mods and will be great to see some more on this topic in the future. Some are more wacky, others are trying to be more realistic, it will be great to see more reviews from Jonathan. Keep the good work up.

[@novackok8174]

Wouldn't mind seeing his take on the mgsV weaponry

[@thomasmonks5715]

Love the fact that these are being made still years after fallout came out but they know we're all still playing it XD may have to take a trip up north sometime to show my support in person. Being real though your content is amazing just like the museum it was filmed in, anyone that gets chance to visit the armouries should definitely go it's amazing. Also he mentioned Kentucky Balistics, this man is a weapons god amongst men

[@newbie6377]

i just love that he's reviewing fallout 4's weapon mods

[@walnzell9328]

The M2216 is also old and has also not been updated since 2016. It is outclassed by Deadpool2099's Service Rifle.

[@Seallussus]

More modded guns reviews, please. Also nice of you to include the mod links.

[@TheBroGamer14082]

that dialogue at the end was a nice wholesome surprise ngl

[@drinkinbuddy8264]

finally Subbing since they keep bringing this absolute lad back. I love these

[@castelleon]

It'd be great to see a part 2 of this video, there's so much more modded guns out there!

[@hayfry9352]

i like how you've helped the mod creator for the rifle number 9 by literally giving them blueprints
