About This Mod

UPDATE: Replaced new versions of the Rat Hunter and Shotgun statuses, and fixed one of the dialog options in which Sunny can reload cartridges (she controlled 5.56mm cartridges). In addition, the fine for limb damage is completely removed, since .22LR is no longer a "dirty" caliber. Unlike .22LR, the critical hit multiplier was not added. Warmint rifle is the same warmint rifle, only with a different caliber of cartridges. The update also replaces three 5.56mm munitions with a .22LR: one in Goodspring and two in the NCR Amelioration Center. All are for hunting rifles and must be replaced by appropriate caliber ammunition. -------------- INTERESTING FACT: Did you know that during the development of the Varmint rifle it was loaded with .22LR caliber cartridges? Yes, it is. This idea was dropped during development, but remains in the current game. For example, Dixon of Freeside carries a boar rifle, but with .22LR rounds instead of 5.56mm. This modification changes the Varmint Rifle rifle (and its unique variant, the Ratslayer) to use .22LR cartridges instead of 5.56mm bullets. It works surprisingly well and fits perfectly into the game. For example, the widespread use of .22LR munitions at the beginning of a game suddenly makes sense, and it is surprising how this relatively simple change affects the overall course of the game. Maud also changes the introductory training mission with Sunny Smiles so that as you pass, you get .22LR rounds instead of 5.56mm rounds. I have to say that I was surprised at how much this simple change changed the early game. The Varmint rifle is now loaded with .22LR cartridges, which makes it a little more difficult when you go from it to another weapon (usually a cowboy repeater or service rifle), but for the most part it just works great. Obviously, this modification was made late in the development phase, and when the changes were reversed, it was surprisingly well balanced. Other versions There is another version of this modification, which changes only the warmint rifle and leaves the rat-catcher as a 5.56 mm weapon. This version can be found in the Advanced section of the Files tab. Do not use the WMX patch for this version.
