I don't think I've explicitly mentioned this here, but the Mega-Pack updates will be released on October 23 (barring disaster).

The Halligan is a unique Pulse Rifle, and a tribute to my most stalwart companion during my most recent Mass Effect playthrough. No, not Garrus or Tali, but my beloved M-96 Mattock. Modified to be full-auto, with a larger mag capacity and regenerating ammo.

I updated the timing on the sound effects for the Cluster Bomb missile, so that the extra explosions occur right as the artillery sound ends. youtu.be/Uek4SwqVfRc

The 40mm Baton round is for players who take themselves too seriously to use the Punchline 🤣

I found a way to rework the Cluster Bomb Missile so that the submunitions spread out over a wider radius instead of just causing an overlapping series of explosions above the same point. The result is now much closer to what I had originally envisioned. youtu.be/ewez-pwvEM4

The Torchlighter is a unique long-barreled hand cannon chambered in 7.92x36, and gives me serious "hero gun" vibes. Maybe I might even bump it up to 9x39, if I want to give the pseudo-VSS Vintorez its proper caliber.

The Cheetah Machine Pistol is my impression of the Gepard PDW. It can be modded with a suppressor, extended mags, and red-dot sight. I'm aware the real one has a bakelite/plastic grip, not plywood, but I had a hard time finding a bakelite texture in the vanilla game.

The Radskorpion is a unique Stinger Machine Pistol, modified with an improvised barrel attachment that drips radioactive material into the path of the bullet, allowing the gun to deal radiation damage with every shot.

The Stinger Machine Pistol is my take on the vz. 61 Skorpion, which you may know better as the "Klobb" if you spent a lot of time playing Goldeneye on the N64 back in the '90s. Also perfect for your Winter Soldier roleplays. It can be modded with a suppressor and an 80-round drum mag.

I added more greeblies to the Large-Bore Derringer, because it looked too plain. I included a cross-bolt safety, barrel release latch, and an extractor paddle on the barrel. I also gave it a new bird's head grip, to more closely mimic the look of the classic Remington Model 95.

The Large-Bore Derringer is a two-shot break-open holdout gun chambered in .45-70. Making up for limited ammo capacity with total grains downrange.

The NCR Ranger Salvaged Armor is based on that leaked photo we saw from Season 2 of the TV series that was hands-down the most popular thing we've seen, universally accepted by the fans, and which caused no controversy whatsoever. After all, New Vegas fans have a reputation for being super-chill...

I've gotten sucked back into replaying the Mass Effect trilogy. See you guys in 300 hours!

So, apparently Nexus Mods has been sold to a private equity firm. I'm betting they're going to bleed it dry for every last drop of profit, then dump the husk. If you want to help the mod authors, learn how to mod your game manually, so you don't have to rely on things like Vortex or Collections.

This new Bolt-Action Shotgun is loosely modeled after a Marlin Model 55 with a cut-down barrel that I saw on Reddit and thought was cool. The current Bolt-Action Shotgun will be renamed the Crude Bolt-Action Shotgun.

Continuing with the 'Nam theme, I retextured the Boonie Hat using the camo cloth from the NCR Mantle Armor.

The Paddy Hat is my representation of one of those Asian conical straw hats, traditionally worn by rice farmers. Perfect for your wandering ronin or VC "black pajamas" roleplay. I don't judge.

The Assistive Technical Load-Bearing Armature System (A.T.L.A.S.) is a military exoskeleton that you can equip over top of any outfit to boost your Strength and Carry Weight. I imagine it's basically stripped-down Power Armor, without the armor.

Giving it some more thought, I've decided that the (newly-renamed) Pipefitter Overalls will simply boost your Repair skill, but if you have Wild Wasteland, will heal you for 1 Cap/HP, like Mario exchanging 100 coins for an extra life.

This was supposed to be a Wild Wasteland outfit that blasts a shockwave when you jump, knocking people down within a radius, but unfortunately, none of the functions to detect jumping work very well. There's a significant delay, which ruins the effect, so I gave up before making the hat and gloves.

The Wildcard Armor is loosely inspired by the outfit worn by the title character in the 2009 parody videogame 'Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard.'

The Signal Lamp is my rendition of the Vietnam-era MX-991/U anglehead military flashlight. It uses the tactical light mechanic, but only turns on when you pull and hold the trigger, allowing you to use it to lure enemies into traps, for example.

I imagine the Scorpinator as being an in-universe comic book character akin to the Mechanist or AntAgonizer. While wearing this armor, all your attacks will do poison damage and scorpions will not attack you (if I can somehow figure out how to distinguish them from other mutated insects in the GECK)

I figured out why the incubator method was crashing, and now have to choose which method to add to the Mega-Pack... youtu.be/EZycczYVrhQ

After running into more crashes with the Fire Gecko Flamer, I think I found the problem! SetPlayerTeammate is set to 1, which crashes when loading the World Map screen on the Pip-Boy because it can't display a map marker for the creature. If so, I'm going to give the Incubator another try! 🤞

Here's a demonstration of the solution I came up with for obtaining the Fire Gecko Flamer. youtu.be/OC1N4zbGci0

Things aren't going very well with the Fire Gecko flamer... youtu.be/16w6N4EdeAE

The Battlemaster Robes are a cross between the half-naked look of Lord Humongous from the 1981 film 'Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior' and the shirtless-with-robes look of Darth Sion from the 2004 videogame 'Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2'.

I just spent two hours making this background prop for my Wasteland Workshop segments which probably nobody will ever notice, but I like knowing that it's there.

The Wasteland Wildlife Federation reminds you that Fire Geckos are wild animals and should not be approached. They are not toys or pets, and should absolutely not be turned into self-propelled free-range organic flamethrowers under any circumstances. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z3S...

The Entry Carbine is inspired by the MC51K used by the British SAS and SBS in the early '90s -- a full-auto .308 with a 4" barrel, it has been jokingly dubbed the "portable flashbang dispenser." I also gave it a period-accurate D-cell Maglite hose-clamped to the top. youtu.be/WK4lGlj6h9Y

The Hostage Rescue SMG is my take on the MP5/10 used by the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team back in the late '90s/early '00s. Chambered in 10mm, its only visually-distinctive features are a bolt hold open paddle on the left side and straight translucent polymer magazines.

The Nighthawk is a custom double-stack 1911, serving as the centerpiece weapon for the tactical light feature. Unfortunately, one-handed pistols are the only weapons where the light beam will be hidden when the gun is holstered, so long arms won't look as good. 🤷‍♂️

The Warrior Monk Armor (name not final) is inspired by Obi-Wan Kenobi's armor-over-robes look from the Star Wars: Clone Wars TV series. It was also designed to look cool in combination with the Implacable Man mask. I'm still trying to decide if it should be actual Power Armor or salvaged.

I'm officially adopting it as my slogan 🤣

I found a kludgy way to make the tactical light toggle-able. youtu.be/pCJQ1AF6UuQ

I added more functionality to the tactical light, so that enemies are now alerted by its glow. See the replies for a closer look at the shotgun mesh. youtu.be/hiuR5huXb8Y

I've discovered a way to make a fully-functional tactical light! youtu.be/ulsQQT-Z2-Y

The Broken Cherub is inspired by the creepy giant baby mask worn by the character Jack Lint in the 1985 film 'Brazil.' I'm thinking of giving it some kind of drug-related effect, like maybe auto-administering Psycho at the start of combat.

"Do You Like Hurting Other People?" is a challenge to kill a number of human enemies (exact number TBD) using baseball bats while wearing the Varsity Jacket and Corvus Mask, in a nod to the protagonist's best-known outfit in the videogame 'Hotline Miami.'

The Corvus Mask will provide the wearer with the same effect as Rex's "Search and Mark" perk, highlighting valuable items and containers -- crows like shiny things, after all.

The Implacable Man is a Wasteland ghost story about a cursed soul, forced to wander the ruined earth and unable to ever find rest or die. Aesthetically, it's inspired by the character in the thumbnail of the latest Warlockracy video ("My Dream Fallout Game"). www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJAt...

I've updated the Pistol Caliber Carbine mesh to include a stabilizing brace in place of a stock, making it an ATF-compliant pistol.

Australian peeps, you're up next! If that other country is stepping back from their leadership position, the rest of us will step up, won't we? Best of luck, and enjoy a democracy sausage for me! Love, Canada ❤️

One more revision, after I realized that the cloak from Grim Reaper's Sprint was a better fit than the Brotherhood Scribe's robe.

Playing around with the UNLIMITED POWAH! icon a bit more, I added a hood, brow ridges and eye bags to make the reference a little more obvious, and simplified the robe a bit.

Canadian peeps, hopefully you've already voted, but if not, there's still time. Let's make it count!

UNLIMITED POWAH! is a challenge to execute 66 Brotherhood of Steel members using the Blitzenfaust. Once achieved, firing the Blitzenfaust will recharge any drained energy cells in your inventory (SEC, ECP, and MF Cell).

The Blitzenfaust (Ger. "Lightning Fist") will be a unique energy weapon in the next update, inspired by the character Avgust Kuratov from the terrible 2017 Russian movie "Guardians." Aesthetically, it loosely resembles Rasputin's Mecha Glove from the 2004 film Hellboy. youtu.be/0B1VDmkWYEw

I discovered an interesting fact about the engine that I used to make the ultimate stealth armor! youtu.be/I3GXtQksup8
