Complete overhaul of the Allied Armaments PDW-27 weapon mod with a ton of added features and skins
This is a full bottom to top overhaul of the PDW-27 with a lot of added features, skins, and included optional patches for popular mods. I also fixed several bugs and fully isolated the meshes, materials and textures so they no longer use the base game paths and uses its own. I also renamed all of the forms so they follow standard form naming conventions. I also converted to a medium master so that patches are easier for both myself and others to make.
New features:
Rebalanced the damage values so its a bit more competitive
Leveled list injection via script (Vendors, Lootables, and Enemies)
New muzzle attachments:
Focus Nozzle: Increases Damage, Headshot Damage, and Range. Slight increase to crit chance. (uses model from the Novablast Focal Lens)
Stealth Laser: Reduces the visibility and acoustic intensity of lasers. (no model was used like the Equinox)
Added missing internal mods:
Amplifier: Amplifies power output, increasing damage.
Overclocked: Increases Rate of Fire.
Precision Tuning: Precisely tuned to increase Accuracy and Range.
Added Magazine mods (No new models):
Annihilator: Banned by almost every government, these rounds produce a disease-like effect that spreads to any target that gets too close.
Ignition Beams: Lasers do more damage and now burn enemies.
Added craftable laser color options, as well as display options: Beam Only, Beam + Dot and Dot Only
Optional ammunition upgrade for each available receiver, you can change it to use 3KV lasers which make the fire rate a bit slower but buffs damage output
New unity enhancement (NG+) mods which will unlock based on how many times your character has gone through unity and each level buffs all stats for the weapon which should make it viable for high level characters. Note: These mods have their own category on the weapons workbench and are not visible unless you have gone through unity at least once.
Added 22 craftable skins (more info below)
Added new crafting categories for more customization:
Quality Upgrades: You can craft each quality upgrade as your level increases
HUD Reticle: You can change which HUD reticle you want to use for the weapon, or none at all (Note: this is per weapon)
Sound FX: You can change which sound effect to use when firing the weapon (I chose sounds which complimented the laser nature of the weapon but kept the default sound the same so this is entirely optional)
Game options added to customize what you want to enable or disable for the new crafting features (More info below)
Bug fixes:
Fixed quality levels not being applied correctly
Previously the mod used Kodama quality levels instead of its own, it now has its own quality levels
This also meant I had to balance the base weapon damage as before it was set really high so the scale kind of made sense but that meant that it didn’t scale correctly and the gun became underpowered quickly at higher levels
Fixed some mesh alignment issues with some of the stocks and muzzle attachments
Isolated all the meshes/materials/textures into their own versions (in their own PDW27 folder) so that not only skins can be made for it but also changes to base game weapon textures/materials won’t affect the PDW-27 going forward. I did not isolate the geometry but may do that in the future.
Added missing weapons workbench icon
Changed the Reflex Sight names to differentiate between all 3 available reflex sights
Normalized all form names and structures to align with best practices
Removed unused forms and cleaned up orphaned entries
Gameplay options:
Quality Crafting
Enabled (Default): Enables built-in level gated quality crafting
Disabled: Disables the built-in quality crafting if you do not want to use it
Laser Attachment Options (Used when crafting laser attachments, color options are always shown per type)
All (Default): Show all options for every laser attachment
Beam Only: This will only show the laser attachments which are a standard beam only
Beam + Dot: This will only show the laser attachments which have both the standard beam and the dot
Dot Only: This will only show the laser attachments which are only the dot (no beam)
HUD Reticle Crafting
Enabled (Default): Enables the ability to customize the HUD reticle used for the PDW-27 you are customizing
Disabled: Disables HUD reticle crafting if you do not want to use it
Sound FX Crafting
Enabled (Default): Enables the ability to customize the firing sound effect used for the PDW-27 you are customizing
Disabled: Disables sound effect crafting if you do not want to use it
Unity Enhancement (NG+) Crafting
Enabled (Default): Enables crafting the NG+ modifications (Requires going through the unity at least once)
Disabled: Disables NG+ quality crafting if you do not want to use it
Optional patches:
These are provided in the FOMOD installer as optional additions
Ammo HUD Support for custom weapon icons
Bullet Follows Dot: This is just a small patch to make it so the projectile follows the laser dot instead of the HUD reticle. This is just like the Laser Sight Dot Enabled mod feature but since I already provided laser options, this patch just enables this one feature. This is also fully compatible with the other mod.
Darkstar Manufacturing: Provides standard DSM options with a Mk.II variant and uses standard DSM quality progression and levels. Note: This will auto-disable the build-in quality crafting feature to align with DSM.
Starfield Extended – Craftable Quality (There are 3 options):
Craftable Quality Only: This is just the standard level 1 – 4 crafting using Starfield Extended settings
Craftable Quality Extended: This is level 5 – 14 crafting (Is also added to the spawn table)
Craftable Quality Extended LMR: This is level 15 – 20 crafting and requires Legendary Module Recycler
Note: These will auto-disable the built-in quality crafting feature to align with Starfield Extended quality progression
All skins are also applied to all attachments so you will never have a mismatched attachment.
