See-through Scopes, Crossbows of the Commonwealth, and 3 best weapon-based mods in Fallout 4

1) Nuka Gear

Nuka Gear adds cute and attractive suits and guns inspired by Nuka Cola, Fallout 4’s soft drinks brand. It comes in multiple colors, the one seen in the poster being the default variant, the cherry color option, and the quantum alternative based loosely on the two other flavors of the drink, a vault-tec-inspired color scheme and a retro look. All of which are craftable.

Along with the suits, a handgun is also added, which cannot be crafted as only one can exist simultaneously. It has custom reload animation and modifications handcrafted for it in the mod. This gun can be found at the same place as fight Z2-47. It is relatively easy to download and install and usually has no issues with other mods.

2) Crossbows of the Commonwealth

This mod supplies the world of Fallout 4 with crossbows, which means players can use it and other NPCs and enemies. This feature can be opted out of by simply downloading a different file provided on the same Nexus Mods webpage.

Crossbows come in different varieties, with many modifications that can be added to them. There are many bolts with unique effects, and a compound bow is thrown in with this mod for good measure.

5) See Through Scopes

Sometimes the best things are the simplest. As the name suggests, this mod lets players look through their scope instead of the game’s scope overlay. The mod adds a whole host of scopes that players can put on their guns to see through them.

Reticles can be customized to suit the player’s preferences, and they all come with multiple zoom values. See Through Scopes mod feature lets players hold on to their breaths for a steadier aim.

Furthermore, sway intensity values, blur effects, small patches, etc., can be customized in the mod. Players can choose to replace the vanilla scopes or add them separately. To install this mod, players need to run it through Vortex.
