🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since the mod is from 2020, make sure your game is not fully updated or use a mod that patches compatibility if needed.
Look for the rifle in the game world — the description doesn't say where, so explore or check the mod's comments for hints.
If you use a mod manager, install it through that to keep track of it easily.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge download count (630k+) and nearly 6k endorsements — this is a proven, community-favorite weapon mod.
- Adds a classic Russian sniper rifle, giving players a new long-range option with real-world flair.
- Simple concept: one rifle, no bloat — perfect if you just want a solid new gun without overhauling the game.
👎 Cons
- No updates since January 2020 — might break with newer Fallout 4 patches or DLC, so check compatibility.
- Description is bare-bones: no info on stats, crafting, or where to find it, so you'll have to discover that in-game.
- Only one weapon — if you're looking for a full weapon pack, this won't satisfy that itch.
