⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Huge community trust with 9,327 endorsements and over 350k downloads.
Simple drop-in replacement—no complex setup, just swap the vanilla Gauss Rifle.
Active author engagement—they're asking for images and videos, so feedback is welcome.

👎 Cons

Only replaces the vanilla Gauss Rifle—no standalone or unique variants.
Last updated in 2016, so it may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC.
No detailed feature list or screenshots in the description, so you're going in somewhat blind.
