Its a very interesting way you redesigned the Assault Rifle in comparison to your MG69 mod. Honestly this feels like something that could have been in New Vegas. It’s definitely something I can see people in power armor using. It also has a more of Vietnam War feel in my opinion, but I do think it fits right alongside the other vanilla weapons.
Well fallout now is begging to have a vietnam war aesthetic, I mean fallout new Vegas was very vietnam themed with the NCR and entire conflict, fallout 4 has the sunshine tidings co-op, a drug called daytripper and a Ak47, and fallout 76 has a AR-10, AK47 and of course the song “wouldn’t it be nice”. Personally I feel like fallout should be vietnam era themed because of the political messaging in the series, ya know it being very anti-business and anti-fascist
@@treyeaves1576 that Vietnam War feel is very accurate because the hand guard, trigger guard, and stock are from the real life “SAW” and everything else being an inspired look of other real life light-MGs from the Vietnam War to the 90s. I super dig this mod. I hate that they made this gun in vanilla an “assault rifle” so this newer version of his replacer mod really makes me happy lol
It’s exceptionally cool, and I really love what you did here! Fallout guns can be a little on the goofy sci-fi side and the original was too much. My only wish for the weapon is that I miss the folding front sight of the MG69 and hoped to see it again, it was super appreciated for letting me see more through the other sight attachments. I wish ya luck on the Attachment Pack, I’m really excited for it!
I wouldn't have minded the original assault rifle look if it wasn't an assault rifle. If they had turned it to a machine gun or even a "power armor assault rifle"; a specific weapon made for power armor but can be used without, and gave us a genuine assault rifle like past games. You did a great job at molding this weapon to what it should have been
i feel like they are trying to market it that way alot more since in the fallout show, the "assault rifle" is used by a power armor soldier plus one of the most common ways i've found them has been on super mutants so i feel as though thats what they were aiming for but it kinda flew right over people's heads because of it's name
@@makthemaniac1 exactly because of its name, and how common it is in game. It's seen as a standard infantry assault rifle, which it isn't it's designed for power armor. They should have given us an AR type rifle like NV or even something like an m1 garand and m14. Make it so either you cannot equip it out of armor (goes for npcs as well) or it slows your walk speed and only able to hip fire based on the weight of the weapon
@@2ndrangersww2 that is another thing that bothers me how can we carry these heavy looking weapons outside of power armor? real world miniguns are only able to be carried without much assistance because they are more compact but the fallout miniguns are gigantic, and realistically we would probably go right over our carry capacity just having them in our hands they could have at least limited the miniguns to power armor use (would also solve the issue alot of people are bothered by which is the whole PA + minigun as starter weapons thing)
Congrats. You've officially made the F4 "Assault Rifle" exactly how I would've wanted it redesigned. Thank you. For future sights, I'd love to see a set of proper M249 and M60-style sights. For muzzle attachments, an AR-15 style birdcage flash hider would be nice too see too. And finally, for the Marksman barrel, do you think you could give the gun its own M249 or M60-style bipod model?
What a nice evolution for the MG, I absolutely love the wood furniture on the MG69 so I would really wish you do at least one full woody version (hand guard, pistol grip, full stock, carry handle and charging handle) for this one or the possibility to have both rifle mods side by side. Btw the green elements are cool too! Thanks for your passionate work und all the cool mods for us to use...
The weapons in this game had all to be designed taking the power armor into consideration. Its funny to see a lore aspect of the game going against a gameplay aspect. Lore-wise, power armors were designed to enable the soldier the carry and use heavy weapons, so, they werent supposed to be used with the smaller ones. But as a game, not being able to use the majority of the game's weapons wouldnt be fun, so they had to increase the visual size of the weapons to make them "fit" in the power armor hands.
I think the assault rifle should have been chambered in 308 with a receiver mod to up it to 50. When in your hands it over encumbers a non power armor user, but doesn’t have this effect when in your inventory. Something with strength and big guns could negate this effect when out of power armor.
I feel that these two mods (MG69 and this one) would actually work well together as I really enjoyed the wood furniture of the previous mod, but the redesign on this one is more my style overall Dunno if you'd consider making the two compatible or adding the wood parts to the new design but great work either way
I love this and currently using it (xbox). I finally feel like we have the M41 pulse rifle in fallout. I do wish the carry handle extended a bit further, to complete the look. Thank you so much Dak. Your mods are filling my LO
Look wise: nailed it. Function wise: I suggest giving it more space from behind the magazine, bc mgs have very long bolt travel. I watched too much Brandon Herrera.
this is a fantastic work you do here man, realy. For the muzzle attachments i'm a fan of always give options before removing things, i think the vanilla ones don't bother
Know I'm late but damn these are a must have for my playthroughs. Don't hate but In my head I see this being the true representation of the M199 that has been highly debated over. Removing that strange water-cooling chamber? defo does this gun justice making it look more along the lines of something like the Johnson M1941 LMG giving it that ww2 rather then ww1 vibe. Am using both this re-mesh and your combat rifle redux, couldn't stand that the shotgun/rifle were so identical. Awesome mods, they all just make sense :D
@@DegenerateDak fair enough. I really do love your work I learned fo4 edit because of your replacer mods. Seeing all these cool mods come out that have love and care put into them has made my day better.
Can the mesh-only version of this be installed in the middle of a playthrough since that doesn't alter the gameplay? Or is it recommend to start a new game?
I find it odd that the vanilla combat rifle/shotgun looks just the way they should for a fallout game but when it comes to the assault rifle, it feels too clunky, bulky, and otherwise doesn't really fit the post-apocalyptic world.
I want to see someone create a new weapon based on the vanilla Assault Rifle from scratch, similar to what was done with the CR-74L from Creation Club.
Dak you've very quickly become one of my favorite mod authors. If you haven't, try out Junkmaster by Kungfuman. Highly underappreciated lore friendly game overhaul thats been around at least for five years
Hey dak I got a suggestion for the "assault rifle" attachments or maybe even a stand alone mod? Sense you added some halo aesthetics to the 10mm pistol, how about creating some halo M73 LMG attachment look alikes? It looks fallout enough to be made by the same people who created the Bozar. Loving the west tek optics pack on xbox!
Looks fantastic, I'll be updating to this remesh. Although, I am stilling going to keep it rechambered for .308 because I already have the combat rifle rechambered for 5.56.
I swear I saw two versions of this assault rifle mod on Xbox this morning after I watched this. Since I didn't have the space for it I unatalled my all my mods and was gonna start a new load order then it was gone and now It's just not on there and I'm confused lol.
@@AttakusZakus i Understand. I check every now and then. I haven't been playing as much as usual. Mostly because even though Fallout 4 is definitely one of my favorite games of all time to play, I've gotten a little addicted to Ghost Recon Wildlands again while I wait for it to release lol. Once it does i can do the long process of figuring out my FO4 load order again
While I like how the vanilla assault rifle looks, I'm more disappointed about it being named "assault rifle". It could've been named to something else AND then added an assault rifle that we can somehow recognize as one.
The problem with the assault rifle animation mod is that the no tactical reload version still require tactical reload mod, and this is a small issue, but i think the mod shoul be updated to fix this.
Would be neat if the original chonky "assault rifle" with its water cooled barrels got reworked into a 50cal heavy machine gun. Like a heavier power armor focused version.
Awesome work. It's great watching how quickly your skills are growing. It's also nice to see your continued enthusiasm for the hobby. I will miss the wood furniture, but I can always add a paint mod for myself to get it back. Does it implement the CC faction paints? Are you considering adding faction paints if not?
The weight for that gun in game says like 19-30 lbs, it looks like it'd be WWAAAYYYY heavier. But yeah, your MG69 and the next remake are honestly pretty cool. That is the kinda redesigns I think woulda made FO4 weapons way more interesting and way less strange feeling.
Personally, I have no issues with the original Assault Rifle, other than the fact it's called an Assault Rifle. I'm pretty sure it was originally designed for the game to be a heavy weapon for Power Armor, not to be used by people on foot. When you think of the water cooling Jacket on the weapon, there is no question that it must of been for Power Armor troops, in fact if I recall all the in game art that shows the weapon, show it exclusively being used by Power Armor troops. I think the reason it was named an Assault Rifle was Bethesda likely didn't have a weapon that could serve the purpose before the game came out and well, were lazy. They likely realized the Combat Rifle wouldn't work for that roll, and basically renamed the Machine Gun which was the Assault Rifle's original name into Assault Rifle. In short mods that exist to change the Assault Rifle into something else I just don't see the purpose of. Adding new weapons as alternatives yes.. but changing it, not really. Before anyone say it, yes a Water Cooled Jacket does make sense. If you want a cheaper alternative to equipping power armor troops vs giving them all miniguns. Giving them a Fast Firing Water cooled Heavy Machine Gun works, works well actually. In fact the best heavy weapon mod in the game introduces two machine guns that get water cool jacket options because it does make sense when used by Power Armor troops. That being said I think Bethesda could of done it better, most definitely. Issuing Surplus 1930-1950 era Browning 30cals, and 50cals power armor weapons would of made more sense, but it's Bethesda we're talking about, they likely no jack crap about firearms, as it's quite evident between Fallout 3 and 4. If the "Assault Rifle" is the result, I can not complain. I find it funny because I used to hate the assault rifle, but I've kind of grown to like it over time. Definitely when fully upgraded, loses like 1/3 of it's mass, and the daka sound it makes, easily makes me enjoy it more than the Homemade Rifle.
id love to see new meshes for the compensator and muzzle brake. and 1 additional thing is that i think the massive drum mag looks a bit goofy on the slimmed down assault rifle. So i was maybe thinking that a chunky double stack mag would look quite nice.
To me original "assault rifle" from Fallout 4 is just their attempt to made S.A.W. type of weapon with the diesel/atom punk asthetics - not bad by any means. Just the name is unfortunate. It should be - Light Machine Gun instead of Assault Rifle.
Maybe a stupid question, but I going to trow it in anyways. You have great mods for weapons that are immersive into the Fallout universe and there are a lot of them. Why not making a pack as instead of making a seperate esp for each of them? Kudos for what you do by the way. 😉👍
At the 30 second mark, I’d just add that F4 is objectively controversial because of how scummy the game is compared to previous titles and what it should have been. The only people who defend it are the same cancerous casuals that are actively ruining the IP.
Hopefully Dak sees this comment. So I trying to download this replacer mod for my xbox but everytime I put in my load order its makes my game crash Than I have to completely uninstall and reinstall my game I'm not sure if I just have my load order wrong or if this is just a specific issue for the mod on xbox
This will be strange to ask but I was wondering if it's possible to convert the meshes and textures from Fallout 4 to Skyrim. I'm working on some animation projects with many gun mods and I wanted to use Fallout 4 weapon mods for these projects
While your version is considerably better, it still has the problem of the foregrip being too "deep". By this I mean that it comes down lower than the trigger guard. Looking at a M243 you will notice that the bottom of its foregrip is above the bottom of the trigger guard. A thought is to use the front corner of the receiver as the approximate level for the bottom of everything forward keeps the proportions better. Fallout 4 suffered from that thing that all sci fi movies and games seem to do in adding way too much bulk by giving their guns the "nerf gun" treatment.
As someone who doesn't know anything about guns I really like the vanilla assault rifle. I like how chonkey it is. It especially looks great when you're in power armor.
The old vanilla was definitely suppose to be a light machine gun but imbpretty sure they nerfed it into a aassualt rifle in name only. The minigun is a eqrly game weapon and this one is more later game. I like it if it played that roll of a squad weapon. I would change it that its two recievers either did a high rate of fire or slow rate rather than single or auto. I would give it a heating effect if it fired too long as well. The quick reload would be the simple ar mag we see and the drum mag would be the standard. I like your mod but a assault rifle to me would have been the chinese or service rifle in its glory. They could have made a fallout version of both making the service rifle more beefy but highly customizable and the chinese made to be more stealthy
I wish you'd make this a standalone mod too. I love the OG fo4 assault rifle (I love quirky designs) but this is awesome too! Wish I could use both in one game
hey is this compatible with modern weapon replacer service rifle redux? this can rename the assault rifles as machine guns but the modern weapon replacer replaces all assault rifles with the service rifles. since this mod renames the assault rifle, would it work together?
Is a separate mod required for the charging handle to be pulled after inserting a fresh magazine instead of before removing the empty one? I always thought the devs were complete idiots for doing that with the assault rifle when they don't do that eith any other gun
The Porter seems to be having a lot of trouble porting. If it’s that hard then maybe they should ask for help, because it’s been quite some time. I mean I’m still waiting for the 12.7mm SMG in 2k for Xbox personally and I’m losing faith lolol.
The only odd thing is the rails from your new sight pack don’t sit far enough forward on the upper receiver so a bit of the mesh sticks through. Overall a great mod though
I like the wooden parts of your MG 69 mod more, the .308 recmaber is for a mod rifle user very nice gives me more sweet ammo, but I wished someone would properly add WW 1 MGs, like the Lewis gun, Chauchat or the MG 08/15 or MG 08/18, maybe even a Vickers or Browning M2 or point me to a mod that adds those, their designs are goofy and experimental enough to fit right into Fallout.

That all sounds awesome, just add a larger power armor-use grip, and it'll be *perfect!* 🥰
I really liked the MG69 but damn, you've outdone yourself with this one!
Lol, I love that you have it designated as the M270. I had the New Vegas LMG as the M260 (courtesy of Pig) during dev.
It works really well as a higher tier MG too as your NV LMG appears at an earlier level. Best part is both have their place in the sandbox.

I don't have that big of a problem with fallout 4's assault rifle, but after seeing this, I believe I have. Cause this fix looks awesome as hell.
Your best work yet Dak, this looks fantastic.
I honestly prefer the old MG69 mod over this, but this still looks great.
To me original "assault rifle" from Fallout 4 is just their attempt to made S.A.W. type of weapon with the diesel/atom punk asthetics - not bad by any means. Just the name is unfortunate. It should be - Light Machine Gun instead of Assault Rifle.
Maybe a stupid question, but I going to trow it in anyways.
You have great mods for weapons that are immersive into the Fallout universe and there are a lot of them.
Why not making a pack as instead of making a seperate esp for each of them?
Kudos for what you do by the way. 😉👍
The vented barrel model looks amazing!
At the 30 second mark, I’d just add that F4 is objectively controversial because of how scummy the game is compared to previous titles and what it should have been. The only people who defend it are the same cancerous casuals that are actively ruining the IP.
Hopefully Dak sees this comment.
So I trying to download this replacer mod for my xbox but everytime I put in my load order its makes my game crash
Than I have to completely uninstall and reinstall my game
I'm not sure if I just have my load order wrong or if this is just a specific issue for the mod on xbox
This will be strange to ask but I was wondering if it's possible to convert the meshes and textures from Fallout 4 to Skyrim. I'm working on some animation projects with many gun mods and I wanted to use Fallout 4 weapon mods for these projects
Can you make a .50 optional for it eventually ?
The Gun was plan to be a .50 Heavy AR for Power Armour so, why not bring it back?
While your version is considerably better, it still has the problem of the foregrip being too "deep". By this I mean that it comes down lower than the trigger guard. Looking at a M243 you will notice that the bottom of its foregrip is above the bottom of the trigger guard. A thought is to use the front corner of the receiver as the approximate level for the bottom of everything forward keeps the proportions better. Fallout 4 suffered from that thing that all sci fi movies and games seem to do in adding way too much bulk by giving their guns the "nerf gun" treatment.
just a heads up your discord links are broken, I tried the link from your latest video also say invalid.
As someone who doesn't know anything about guns I really like the vanilla assault rifle. I like how chonkey it is. It especially looks great when you're in power armor.
That's going to be added to my another favorite list of the overhaul vanilla weapons in Fallout 4.
The old vanilla was definitely suppose to be a light machine gun but imbpretty sure they nerfed it into a aassualt rifle in name only. The minigun is a eqrly game weapon and this one is more later game. I like it if it played that roll of a squad weapon. I would change it that its two recievers either did a high rate of fire or slow rate rather than single or auto. I would give it a heating effect if it fired too long as well. The quick reload would be the simple ar mag we see and the drum mag would be the standard. I like your mod but a assault rifle to me would have been the chinese or service rifle in its glory. They could have made a fallout version of both making the service rifle more beefy but highly customizable and the chinese made to be more stealthy
Honestly I think the best replacement for Fo4s assault rifle would be the service rifle and then the previous assault rifle would be better as an LMG.
Looks fantastic! Is it possible for the Mg 69 to get a charging handle?
They could've based their design on the M1941 Johnson Rifle and it would come out far better.
¿Maybe you could add painting? like gunner,Minutemen,Brotherhood,Institute,Etc
Still no amount of redesign can save us from the god awful horizontal magazine.
I wish you'd make this a standalone mod too. I love the OG fo4 assault rifle (I love quirky designs) but this is awesome too! Wish I could use both in one game
hey is this compatible with modern weapon replacer service rifle redux? this can rename the assault rifles as machine guns but the modern weapon replacer replaces all assault rifles with the service rifles. since this mod renames the assault rifle, would it work together?
Is a separate mod required for the charging handle to be pulled after inserting a fresh magazine instead of before removing the empty one? I always thought the devs were complete idiots for doing that with the assault rifle when they don't do that eith any other gun
I dont understamd why they made the damn air cooling jacket non removable. If we werent stuck with that lewis gun barrel it wouodnt be so bad
Love the look! I’m new to Nexus Mods. Are you planning to add Vortex download?
I love the redesign. I want to download it, but I’m a PlayStation console player and PlayStation has a limited amount of mods
Um you’re assault rifle mod was just removed from the Xbox for no reason pls can someone ask startakorxbox on nexus
The Porter seems to be having a lot of trouble porting. If it’s that hard then maybe they should ask for help, because it’s been quite some time. I mean I’m still waiting for the 12.7mm SMG in 2k for Xbox personally and I’m losing faith lolol.
Does anyone know why the reanimation mod is no longer available? I've had to go back to the awful vanilla animations.
I love all of your mods. I wish those of us on PS4/PS5 could experience them.
Kinda wish it still had the wood colors still
The only odd thing is the rails from your new sight pack don’t sit far enough forward on the upper receiver so a bit of the mesh sticks through. Overall a great mod though
That’ll be fixed in the west two update
Any chance of doing a rechamber mod for this gun from 5.56 to .308?
I dont get people that has issues with this gun, just put a drum mag on it and rename it to a machine gun, problem solved
I like the wooden parts of your MG 69 mod more, the .308 recmaber is for a mod rifle user very nice gives me more sweet ammo, but I wished someone would properly add WW 1 MGs, like the Lewis gun, Chauchat or the MG 08/15 or MG 08/18, maybe even a Vickers or Browning M2 or point me to a mod that adds those, their designs are goofy and experimental enough to fit right into Fallout.
As a gun nerd, I love this. I HATE the change in weapons for 3 and nv to 4
PLEASE ADD TO XBOX !
@Marcelo Torres Hopefully they add it back soon.
Honestly I prefer your old remesh ,this one just looks way to close to the vanilla one.
The assault rifle...originally was meant to only be useful with power armor.
I like it a lot, I just wish there was an option for wood furniture on it. Either way great job
I liked the wood on the MG69 but this is looking good too.
