🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a standalone weapon, you'll need to craft it or find it via console commands—check the mod's comments for spawn locations.
If you're on PC, use a mod manager like Vortex to avoid manual file placement issues.
Because it's from 2017, test it with your current load order to ensure no conflicts with newer weapon mods.
