They wanted to get creative with the weapons. And apparently the rifle was in the game files. It was just never really aminated, right? You could look up why cut weapons and they cut that for some reason from the game. I don't think they're gonna add the R91 though, but it makes sense. Because initially you fall out. 3 was supposed to be very early on like 40 to 60 years after the bombs, but they sped up the years because they won the brotherhood. The enclave, the bee and the game to appeal to fall out 1 or 2 fans and Goodbye new ones. Kind of worked sucking them into the franchise. But that's reason why you see a bunch of pre. Made weapons in that universe, but they also either copied all the weapons from real life or had outside. People like the guy who designed the M10 pistol all the guns.

Also, having fall out 3 weapons and fall out.4 would make people not use the new ones.No one would use that f****** God.Awful is so frightful that they have if they have the G3 from the previous Gand the combat rifles.Probably their answer to a different one instead of adding the chinese one because they knew everyone is the chinese one
Oh ya, especially my favorite the survivalist rifle from the dlc. I haven't downloaded yet, but I really hope it says stop in French on the stock bc it was used by a Canadian border guard, or at least that's what I thought the lore behind it was with the survivalist who protected the natives.

I guess more specifically, you're talking about the rails huh? I feel like it's due time that Bethesda start introducing piccatiny rails on fallout firearms - after 200+ years of some weapon development. The concept itself is actually very simple, nothing advanced. Far cry from lasers, or huge robot mechs, or small robots. I feel that the gunrunners, BOS, or other military factions would be able to apply consistent rails on their weapon systems.
@@kenz2756 no rails are definitely lore friendly and should be more common. My problem is more so the M4 SOPMOD stock and modern sights, laser and flashlight combo and modern suppressors

Once again thanks for covering my simple mod Dak, to give a little bit of a background, the mod actually started out as just an overhaul to turn the HK G3 into an R-91 Rifle for Fo4 and to add another Unique variant which will be based on a cut assault rifle from Fallout 3 called "Wanda" , the mod was supposed to be for my personal use only. From a simple overhaul it turned into a quest mod of it's own with unique NPCs and gear involving the Talon Mercs to add some immersion into it. In the end I decided to publish it for anyone who might get interested and for the hek of it.
is the wanda supposed to be quieter than the standard variant? The reason i ask is because i am trying to make wanda the 308 variant via crafting framework. Thanks for the mod btw, the sound on full auto is eargasm
Considering the L96 (which is visually very similar, and was also a British Enfield Armoury design) was an official weapon in FO1 and FO2, darn right it fits in.
I like the chinese assault rifle, but it's nonsensical to be shoveled into the raiders loot list. It should be found on the feral ghouls on board the chinese sub. Which they should be wearing a ripped version of the chinese military uniforms. Or found onboard the cargo ship at the bottom of the map...
for the Chinese Assault Rifle, both the AR and the Mauser pistol could be Chinese Feral Ghouls drop, but also something like a Chinese mace and or dagger would work. that said, a Slaver variant could also work.
Well it's Fallouts version of the AK-47, which is a gun that's popular in the United States, so it doesn't seem that far fetched to have common enemies use it.
Love the Service Rifle by Deadpool2099 and have used it for many, many hours. However, I was never a fan of the sound design, so I installed the Service Rifle Sound Replacer by Laptoprocker.
Yeah i really love it to but there are two bugs which i cant cope with so i stopped using it. first is the unalignment when moving while ADS and the second one is the reload sound bug which makes you hear every NPC equipped with some sort of Service Rifle hearing their reload like they standing next to you even if they are 50 meters away. Shame since its a really great and polished mod otherwise but like i said i cant cope with these issues since its fundamental.
The only thing I dislike about that mod is how it requires skills like heavy gunner or sniper in order to unlock some modifications, unlike vanilla weapons
Thanks for yet another awesome list. I also have the Service Rifle mod, along with Deadpool2099's Wattz Laser Weapon mod as my two favorite weapon mods for Fallout 4, and a kitted out version of the All American unique marksman rifle is part of my endgame loadout while traversing the Commonwealth. Normally one would not think having a full-auto weapon with the Instigating legendary effect would be a good idea, but in this weapon's case, with the best upper & lower receiver and powerful automatic trigger group, it does 117 damage with maxed out commando perk, and with the high rate of fire, a large, quick load drum mag and the commando barrel & reflex sights, you can take out an entire swarm of feral ghouls, sting-wings or Blood bugs in seconds with that bad-boy, and after level 50 or so, it seems like everyone & their second cousin is rolling with assault rifles (as well as service rifle variants), so keeping it loaded with 5.56 ammo is never a problem.
The real question is what these weapons would be named following Bethesda’s Weapon naming scheme in Fallout? G3 = Assault Rifle AUG = Advanced Assault Rifle FAL = European Assault Rifle G11 = Advanced Carbine?
@@Nightshade31401 True. H&K, Glock, and more all exist in Fallout and some have created their own energy weapons too. But something like the MP5, UZI, and P90 might be called the Assault Submachine Gun, Compact Submachine Gun, and Covert Submachine Gun respectively with Bethesda’s more simplified Gun names.
I know it probably feels weird to call yourself out, so I'll do it for you. I'd like to nominate for "lore-friendly assault rifle mods" a couple of works by Degenerate Dak, namely "MG69 - Dak's Assault Rifle Replacer" and "Dak's Immersive Combat Rifle Overhaul". Because what's more lore-friendly than the vanilla assets, but cleaned up so that you don't hate them anymore? For real. I think your mods truly deserve attention. Where would Beth be without modders to clean up their messes? And where would we players be without great mods? Playing vanilla Fallout 4? As if!
Another mod I like is the Select Fire Rifle mod by neehan. Adds a carbine/paratrooper AR-10 looking rifle that is in Fallout 76 as the “Screamin’ Eagle” skin set. My only issue is that it doesn’t have a .308 receiver. If I ever get the motivation to start modding Fallout 4 I would love to bring a Fallout 76 inspired mod for an AR-10, but today is not the day. Handmade Rifle Extension is also a really nice mod. Adds a ton of attachments to the gun that lets you make it a bit closer to the real AK series guns. Also let’s you make variants of the gun from around the world. From Finnish Valmets to East German STG-940s and more. Some of these may stretch the definition of lore friendly to some, but for my generally lore friendly load order it fits.
I would considered the “assault” rifle in fo4 was the worst down grade we ever gotten but the one in fo3 was pretty good like and have many opportunities to modify Also how I see what they did to the “hand made” or AK the sniper barrel is a PSL barrel aka a Romanian svd barrel I’m not joking here
You've covered it before and played with it in your kickass Survivor series, but so long as we're talking lore friendly assault rifles- The IMI Galil is pretty clutch. As you previously pointed out, theres a Chinese soilder carrying one in the FO4 prologue sequence. Has a full suite of mods and weapon replacers, and it's on Xbox. It is a bit more on the modern side, though.
Yeah, it sadly lacks any of the AR-10 options, but if you want an alternative option. Check out the SREP, it offers the same style of AR-15 service rifle options, with the AR-10 for some variety.
only proper modern ar10 i have seen seems to be in modern firearms. A standalone M110 would be nice. The vintage srep ar10 needs a mod that lets you change from the Portuguese variant to the full length ar15 style handgaurd type
a assault rifle is a select fire weapon chambered in a intermediate cartridge meant for assaulting enemy positions like the m16 chambered in 5.56x45mm or the ak47 chambered in 7.62x39mm
I think it’s kind of easy to have almost every weapon aesthetic in Fallout because you can have those growing pain (modernization programs) up until the resource wars which stopped modern production and now everyone is just using anything they can get their hands on. So in the aftermath, everything is out there in the world.
For anyone wondering, the EM-2 was a prototype rifle that was developed, Gun Jesus made a video about it here: th-cam.com/video/fcYj2SpUHvE/w-d-xo.html
@@ta1kongren making the EM-2 have caliber modifications with 5mm, 5.56mm and .308 would be great. :D although, what is the status of the 5mm, average damage and all that? I ask because the minigun is infamous for having low damage with it's caliber. Same for the .45 SMG(IMO, if we had junk, makeshift and manufactered tiers of weapons, the Tommygun would be the one with highest damage, while Pipe smg would be the lowest and Crude Blowback aka Makeshift SMG would be in the middle) which is a shame.
@@drivanradosivic1357 Hey, one problem I keep going to is the issue of too many weapons mods / too few packs, so no one would bother downloading the mod anyway. You are saying a "junk" , "makeshift", and "manufactured" tier. Sounds like a great organizing principle. Would manufactured tier be newly produced weapons or relics from before the war? If they are newly manufactured, it would make sense to include combined arms. But... no matter what, Combined Arms just doesn't fit with, say, the Service Rifle. Damage comes from the gun and the modification. So it doesn't matter what the actual caliber is. I think calibers only add armor penetration effects (I think). Look at Deadpool2066 service rifle; the 5mm ammo option is not significantly less than other ammos.
@@ta1kongren Junk tier is something like the |Pipe weapons and other firearms and melees like them, Makeshift is something like the Crude Blowback SMG mod and the Makeshift Anti Material rifle(plus I think that 3d printed guns could fit this, since the 3d prints are just used for the "shell" of the gun, not the gun itself plus 3d printing stock and barrel shroud mods and the like ), while Manufactured is something professionally made, both pre war and post war(basically, think of it like finding a stash of pre war guns but also having Gun Runners like traders that make guns with preserved schematics and can even sell schemtics for weird but cool guns like how the Fallout 3 and NV Nuka Nades and Railway rifle were schemtics unlocks and the Hand Crossbow and fit the Makeshift look since someone used junk to make them but with a good knowledge of firearms). ah, so caliber mods do not have any significant impact on the damage? They should.
*Other weapons not on this list* HK G3 by subleader (Has a patch that can turn it into the R91) Service rifle by WastelandMelody (Alternative Service rifle, same version that’s used in SREP) IMI Galil by subleader (This weapon is used in the opening cutscene for Fallout 4 by the Chinese) Handmade rifle Extension (Gives the Handmade rifle the SREP experience. Lots of new attachments that can help turn the Handmade rifle into any AK like variant including an RPK, Galil and even Rangemaster) Rangemaster by scail (Adds a more customizable, more up to date and sim-modern Rangemaster to the game with a shotgun that can be underbarrel or standalone) Select Assault Rifle by neeher (New AR based off of a skin for the Handmade rifle in F76. It looks kinda like an AR10, includes true burst fire, and plenty of customization) thx Kris H
Another one is the Select Fire Rifle mod by neehan. Adds a carbine/paratrooper AR-10 looking rifle that is in Fallout 76 as the “Screamin’ Eagle” skin set. Tbh I think the Galil is in Fallout 4’s intro because Bethesda didn’t get a Chinese AR prop made, and it looks decently similar to the gun if you squint at it. Does still fit very well though.
eh, the newer rangemaster isnt as good as JKruse's classic and the select assault rifle unironically looks worse than the 76 skin, just use the AR10 from SREP
@@Pigness7 I ended up getting both SREP and the select rifle skin. I somehow like Deadpool2099’s service rifle mode anyways, and I wanted a shorter AR-10 more like the Fallout 76 version and with more attachments than the SREP version. Carry handle is way too small on the select rifle though, which does make it look ugly, so I just put the reflex sight on it and it looks way better. Idk why it even has a carry handle given that the 76 version has a flat top.
Be really cool if the TKB series or something similar is what became the Soviet service rifle in fallout, maybe the Kalashnikov could have had a flaw in game that it didn't irl, but yeah, thats actually a really great idea.
I like that Forgotten Weapons just did a video on the AR70 a couple days ago. I think the FN FNC would also be a good alternative; the AK5c mod is a derivative of it, as is the Howa Type 84 and I believe the Daewoo K5 that's also floating around out there.
I wish the assault rifle was a lmg and the f3 assault rifle was in the vanilla. I like the water tank barrel of the f4 ar, it reminds me of some old school design
I would say because the P-90 was in the first fallout tactical weapons with rails would fir perfectly. Though these mods add a really nice black ops 1 alternate history scenario and if I get fallout 4 on PC I will definitely try them out.
Talking about why the R91was absent? I would put money on it being time. They faithfully recreated the combat shotgun, started work on the Chinese Assault Rifle and then ran out of time, hit copy paste on the shotgun, renamed the machinegun to Assault Rifle and said "that'll do"
YES! This was a video I was waiting for. I'm trying to make an encompassing but realistic leveled list REPLACER today and I was looking through ALL your videos for this! EDIT: Does anyone have an opinion between the AKM74 and the Chinese Assault Rifle? The former seems better and I could re-name it if that matters for lore purposes.
Even after going through over 15000 mods on Nexus and other sites, you still manage to show me a mod or two I haven't found yet. My Mo2 file just keeps growing lol, I'm at over 2000 mods atm with one playthrough at around 800 mods working great.
Hey Dak, I must say after playing for such long time with Modern Firearms and systems, character with full kit, plate carrier etc. This is first time I made "Lore-Friendly" Load Order without ENB, no HUD, no Hit-Marker(s) - Just All Vanilla Stuff Retexture to 2K-4K, Luxor HD FO4 Overhaul, fixes - better animations for vanilla stuff, better sfx and so on.. I have never enjoyed playing FO4 more than now. The game looks Dark, Gritty, having a solid 120FPS without pretty much any dips and stutters because I really spend sheet ton of time optimizing everything. Wanna play around weapons now - At the moment using classic Hunting Riffle with Battlefield 1 Overhaul Animation, JSRS SFX and 4K Retexture with Deliverer as side-arm. Looking for semi-auto carbine and cant decide if I should use ur take on Combat Rifle or find something more modern-ish but true to apocalypse, anyway - I hope u will continue posting these videos, because its really entertaining watching someone who at least knows stuff about this game. :)
Now, throw on a studded leather punk jacket, some dark sunglasses, and one-hand that AR-70 in a California police station. (I hope someone gets my very not subtle reference. Nice list by the way, thanks!)
Have you ever considered doing like a miniseries on some new Vegas/fallout 3 mods? Like a ‘best of’ type thing? I know a lot of these already exist but you’re honestly the best fallout mod showcase channel out there and I’d love it in your format.
Have you tried junkmaster? Adds the r91, Chinese assault rifle, assault/marksman carbine, bunch of other classic weapons, items, craft benches, even some critters from previous fallout games. I believe it's xbox exclusive for now, but if you have an Xbox really aughta check it out. The mod author is an absolute animal too.
As long as your load order doesn't have 100 plus mods, if you play on xbox or even just have a copy kicking its feet on xbox, you really owe it to yourself to give this one a try
just found your channel nice list I too cant play without the service rifle the only complaint I have with it is how the animations are they are as someone who is trained with a rifle of that family they seem a bit slowish and they don't strike the bolt catch or the forward assist but it's a forgivable mistake for the best rifle mod out there
Fun fact about hte chinese assault rifle, if you know anything abotu the real world AK, it can apply to the Chiense AR, such as turnign it into an SVD, carbine, SMG and that one giant AK used as an LMG.
If you want something a bit less fancy (and lighter on data) you can also use wasteland melody SR. It's not as customisable but covers just about the same stuff and is 100MB less.
My head canon is that in the Fallout Universe the FN FAL was adopted as the NATO standard issue assault rifle, being designated as the R91 in the USA, The G1-G3 (HK-91) in West Germany, The FAL in the Benelux, and some other designations across NATO member states, but as resources became more and more scarce and the NATO alliance collapsed, the need for a standardized 7.62 rifle became obsolete, allowing for the development of less mechanically complex polymer weapons like the M4/M16 platforms (service rifle, assault carbine and marksman).
It's shitty enough that Bethesda doesn't honour the original Fallout lore but they don't even honour their own and see fit to replace and retcon their own implementations soley to support the vision of the game *they* want, not the fans or what's even what's basic common sense, like the Chinese sub commander having a N99 instead of a Mauser pistol.
@@SynthLizard8 Even by Fallout 2, the lore was being changed. It's a case of this stuff really is kinda loose at best, so trying to be snobby about it just comes off as "No True Scottsman".
@@justusbladetooth forget the stupid lore the lack of any fucking guns in this game( fallout 4) it's just terrible these lazy motherfukers had one job to add the Chinese assault rifle and that would have been the only gun in the entire game I would have fun using but now they always have to have good cut content and none of the shit that they give us is good
I have to use mods for the guns in fallout 4 or i wont use them at all. The vanilla guns are mostly cursed and all of them are extremely unbalanced. Like the combat rifle using 45. Acp while doing more or less damage than other guns chambered in the same 45 acp. It's like the devs from Bethesda put zero work into their guns or just don't know anything about firearm ergonomics or how they work. Bethesda is king of cursed immersion breaking guns.
I really do enjoy this assault rifle from Fallout 3 I was able to use that when I was on the mods couple weeks ago and use the version that looks like at the end of Fallout 3 as well I agree with exceptions to the assault rifle to be allowed in like you getting something from Call of Duty and you're going to do something modern or close but do you want to be friendly to the game
My only issue with deadpool's service rifle is that you need up to 3 patches to fix the issues with it. Also the upper receiver options get rid of the charging handle? Still in my load order, but it needs some extra favor as far as mods go. The recommendation for the doombased FAL came at a perfect time because I was considering looking for an FAL mod.
Fair choice. I'm not a fan of that one personally. Too modern for my tastes and I'm entirely opposed to underbarrel grenade launchers in my game. I find them too extravagant for a post-apocalypse. If it was a modern military shooter then maybe, but in fallout it's not for me.
@@witchBoi_Connor For me it depends on my play thru or style. If I want some kind of recent apocalypse, zombie settings something like TLoU or Walking Dead, Resident Evil themed then having more polished weapons is my thing. I dont like having them in abundance when doing an actual Fallout playthrough, but the good thing is a lot of the 'modern' firearms were already in the lore. Id like to see replacer mods that put these weapons into the leveled list but at a severely reduced rate and reserved for only a few select bosses and factions. BoS, Gunners.
another mod that is great for people that really like the Assault rifle from New Vegas (service rifle, assault carbine, marksman carbine) is the m4 mod pack by warfighter.
@@DegenerateDak Nope, none of the AR15 style rifles (service rifle, assault carbine, marksman carbine, all american, or survivalists rifle) in NV even have a rear charging handle.
These are all really nice, but it bothers me that none of the weapon mods out there have partial reload animations. I don't know if it's an engine limitation or not, but it really takes me out of it when I notice it.
Hmm, should we use the service rifle, the r91, or tge chinese assault rifle for our game? Umm how about a lewis gun with a magazine on the side and the sights off an AA gun?
Fallout 4 not having the Chinese assault rifle but every bandit has a Chinese officer sword is wild
They wanted to get creative with the weapons. And apparently the rifle was in the game files. It was just never really aminated, right?

0:27 that ghoul on the ground is me whenever I'm asked to participate
I loved how a feral ghoul saw in the ground those sliding at the beginning
I would considered the “assault” rifle in fo4 was the worst down grade we ever gotten but the one in fo3 was pretty good like and have many opportunities to modify
Also how I see what they did to the “hand made” or AK the sniper barrel is a PSL barrel aka a Romanian svd barrel I’m not joking here
The PSL is a ak though unlike the dragunov.
@@baker90338 it can be both but it’s a rip off version
@@baker90338 its an RPK if we are getting autistic about it
it has the rpk receiver and trunnion
Even as someone that likes guns and watches "Forgotten Weapons" and hickok45 I have absolutely no idea what the big deal here is about the barrel..
You've covered it before and played with it in your kickass Survivor series, but so long as we're talking lore friendly assault rifles- The IMI Galil is pretty clutch. As you previously pointed out, theres a Chinese soilder carrying one in the FO4 prologue sequence. Has a full suite of mods and weapon replacers, and it's on Xbox. It is a bit more on the modern side, though.
I only wish there was a 308 option for Deadpool's service rifle, I think it would make it really well rounded.
Yeah, it sadly lacks any of the AR-10 options, but if you want an alternative option. Check out the SREP, it offers the same style of AR-15 service rifle options, with the AR-10 for some variety.
@@justusbladetooth the only complaint I have with that mod is no 5mm or 7.62 receivers for frost, where ammo modularity is vital.
Learn how to mod, it is not hard to change the caliber
only proper modern ar10 i have seen seems to be in modern firearms. A standalone M110 would be nice. The vintage srep ar10 needs a mod that lets you change from the Portuguese variant to the full length ar15 style handgaurd type
The creators of fallout 4 failed at the guns in the vinalla game
>Fallout 4
>lore friendly
pick one
I already have a 10mm pistol replacer, saw this vid and was like "Oh yeah, GOTTA get rid of that chunky assault rifle mess"
Man that feral ghoul in the ground just tposing enjoying life. I feel that
Oh my god the last weapon
Im so happy you actually included the italian AR70, Thank you
a assault rifle is a select fire weapon chambered in a intermediate cartridge meant for assaulting enemy positions like the m16 chambered in 5.56x45mm or the ak47 chambered in 7.62x39mm
There’s also T41NT3D’s R91 Assault Rifle, the Fallout 3 Assault Rifle. It’s a very faithful recreation.
I think it’s kind of easy to have almost every weapon aesthetic in Fallout because you can have those growing pain (modernization programs) up until the resource wars which stopped modern production and now everyone is just using anything they can get their hands on. So in the aftermath, everything is out there in the world.
0:37 ah brings me back to 76 😒
Jumping on a car to avoid those ghouls was a bold move
Truly a zombies move
Awesome video . I think the Elysiam Ak is a perfect fit also
For anyone wondering, the EM-2 was a prototype rifle that was developed, Gun Jesus made a video about it here: th-cam.com/video/fcYj2SpUHvE/w-d-xo.html
I downloaded this due to that video and the modded weapon is great. I'm probably going to patch it for 5.56 though.
@@ta1kongren making the EM-2 have caliber modifications with 5mm, 5.56mm and .308 would be great. :D
although, what is the status of the 5mm, average damage and all that? I ask because the minigun is infamous for having low damage with it's caliber. Same for the .45 SMG(IMO, if we had junk, makeshift and manufactered tiers of weapons, the Tommygun would be the one with highest damage, while Pipe smg would be the lowest and Crude Blowback aka Makeshift SMG would be in the middle) which is a shame.
@@drivanradosivic1357 Hey, one problem I keep going to is the issue of too many weapons mods / too few packs, so no one would bother downloading the mod anyway. You are saying a "junk" , "makeshift", and "manufactured" tier. Sounds like a great organizing principle. Would manufactured tier be newly produced weapons or relics from before the war? If they are newly manufactured, it would make sense to include combined arms. But... no matter what, Combined Arms just doesn't fit with, say, the Service Rifle.
Damage comes from the gun and the modification. So it doesn't matter what the actual caliber is. I think calibers only add armor penetration effects (I think). Look at Deadpool2066 service rifle; the 5mm ammo option is not significantly less than other ammos.
@@ta1kongren Junk tier is something like the |Pipe weapons and other firearms and melees like them, Makeshift is something like the Crude Blowback SMG mod and the Makeshift Anti Material rifle(plus I think that 3d printed guns could fit this, since the 3d prints are just used for the "shell" of the gun, not the gun itself plus 3d printing stock and barrel shroud mods and the like ), while Manufactured is something professionally made, both pre war and post war(basically, think of it like finding a stash of pre war guns but also having Gun Runners like traders that make guns with preserved schematics and can even sell schemtics for weird but cool guns like how the Fallout 3 and NV Nuka Nades and Railway rifle were schemtics unlocks and the Hand Crossbow and fit the Makeshift look since someone used junk to make them but with a good knowledge of firearms).
ah, so caliber mods do not have any significant impact on the damage? They should.
Note the service rifle requires the nuka cola dlc for the gun to work properly
I have Nuka World and yet the view model for this gun for me is completely fucked. I also don’t have STS in my load order, if you’re wondering.
*Other weapons not on this list*
HK G3 by subleader (Has a patch that can turn it into the R91)
Service rifle by WastelandMelody (Alternative Service rifle, same version that’s used in SREP)
IMI Galil by subleader (This weapon is used in the opening cutscene for Fallout 4 by the Chinese)
Handmade rifle Extension (Gives the Handmade rifle the SREP experience. Lots of new attachments that can help turn the Handmade rifle into any AK like variant including an RPK, Galil and even Rangemaster)
Rangemaster by scail (Adds a more customizable, more up to date and sim-modern Rangemaster to the game with a shotgun that can be underbarrel or standalone)
Select Assault Rifle by neeher (New AR based off of a skin for the Handmade rifle in F76. It looks kinda like an AR10, includes true burst fire, and plenty of customization) thx Kris H
Another one is the Select Fire Rifle mod by neehan. Adds a carbine/paratrooper AR-10 looking rifle that is in Fallout 76 as the “Screamin’ Eagle” skin set.
Tbh I think the Galil is in Fallout 4’s intro because Bethesda didn’t get a Chinese AR prop made, and it looks decently similar to the gun if you squint at it. Does still fit very well though.
@@KrisHandsome You right I forgot about that
eh, the newer rangemaster isnt as good as JKruse's classic and the select assault rifle unironically looks worse than the 76 skin, just use the AR10 from SREP
@@Pigness7 I ended up getting both SREP and the select rifle skin. I somehow like Deadpool2099’s service rifle mode anyways, and I wanted a shorter AR-10 more like the Fallout 76 version and with more attachments than the SREP version. Carry handle is way too small on the select rifle though, which does make it look ugly, so I just put the reflex sight on it and it looks way better. Idk why it even has a carry handle given that the 76 version has a flat top.
Ah yes the most dangerous thing t posing sideways ghouls
Make the tkb-408. It was one of the competitors to the Ak and I think it would fit perfectly into fallout
that looks awesome and like a lovechild of the SKS and a EM-2! Yes please!
Be really cool if the TKB series or something similar is what became the Soviet service rifle in fallout, maybe the Kalashnikov could have had a flaw in game that it didn't irl, but yeah, thats actually a really great idea.
Dak,
2 mods you may not have seen:
R91 fallout 3 assault rifle by t41nt3d
R91 expansion Replacer version by KoKaZ93
Perma listed in my mod list
I'm kind of surprised there aren't more R91 mods kicking around really. Fingers crossed the Capital Wasteland team's got something planned.
I like that Forgotten Weapons just did a video on the AR70 a couple days ago. I think the FN FNC would also be a good alternative; the AK5c mod is a derivative of it, as is the Howa Type 84 and I believe the Daewoo K5 that's also floating around out there.
I'm glad the Deadpool2099 version of the Service Rifle made the list. No disrespect to the other service rifle mod but that one is by far my favorite
Sweet vid dak keep up the good work
In my opinion, everything up until the early 80s is fair game.
As for me it goes up until 2000s. Since the Marksman Carbine in Fallout New Vegas has rails and such
I wish the assault rifle was a lmg and the f3 assault rifle was in the vanilla. I like the water tank barrel of the f4 ar, it reminds me of some old school design
I would say because the P-90 was in the first fallout tactical weapons with rails would fir perfectly. Though these mods add a really nice black ops 1 alternate history scenario and if I get fallout 4 on PC I will definitely try them out.
Yeah it was in Fallout 2 and Tactics. Along with the FN FAL and G11
What have you done to your Ghouls?
Atom bless lol.
Oh no, the ghouls crossbred with moderate creating a monstrous hybrid
Talking about why the R91was absent? I would put money on it being time.
They faithfully recreated the combat shotgun, started work on the Chinese Assault Rifle and then ran out of time, hit copy paste on the shotgun, renamed the machinegun to Assault Rifle and said "that'll do"
Wasteland Melody’s service rifle mod with SREP is my favorite weapon mod because it had functional mounted M203s
awesome mod video today my man
Another great AR that is both lore friendly (and possibly canon, based on the opening scene to fallout 4) is the Israeli Galil ARM by Subleader100.
I think the Galil by Subleader would be a good fit even if it has a bit of bleed over of modern stuff
I mean the Galil could pass, even though it's a 70s gun.
YES! This was a video I was waiting for. I'm trying to make an encompassing but realistic leveled list REPLACER today and I was looking through ALL your videos for this! EDIT: Does anyone have an opinion between the AKM74 and the Chinese Assault Rifle? The former seems better and I could re-name it if that matters for lore purposes.
Even after going through over 15000 mods on Nexus and other sites, you still manage to show me a mod or two I haven't found yet. My Mo2 file just keeps growing lol, I'm at over 2000 mods atm with one playthrough at around 800 mods working great.
Hey Dak, I must say after playing for such long time with Modern Firearms and systems, character with full kit, plate carrier etc. This is first time I made "Lore-Friendly" Load Order without ENB, no HUD, no Hit-Marker(s) - Just All Vanilla Stuff Retexture to 2K-4K, Luxor HD FO4 Overhaul, fixes - better animations for vanilla stuff, better sfx and so on.. I have never enjoyed playing FO4 more than now. The game looks Dark, Gritty, having a solid 120FPS without pretty much any dips and stutters because I really spend sheet ton of time optimizing everything. Wanna play around weapons now - At the moment using classic Hunting Riffle with Battlefield 1 Overhaul Animation, JSRS SFX and 4K Retexture with Deliverer as side-arm. Looking for semi-auto carbine and cant decide if I should use ur take on Combat Rifle or find something more modern-ish but true to apocalypse, anyway - I hope u will continue posting these videos, because its really entertaining watching someone who at least knows stuff about this game. :)
I love that his character looks just like Woods. If anyone could survive the wasteland it would be Mason and Woods for sure.
Now, throw on a studded leather punk jacket, some dark sunglasses, and one-hand that AR-70 in a California police station.
(I hope someone gets my very not subtle reference. Nice list by the way, thanks!)
Not an assault rifle, but the Beretta M38 submachine gun. It was in service for nearly 20 years and spans the time of the time split.
Little late to this one too dak but I made it, another quality mod bundle as usual. Keep up the good work.
I love the bugged ghouls in the beginning. Bugs, bugs never change
Have you ever considered doing like a miniseries on some new Vegas/fallout 3 mods? Like a ‘best of’ type thing? I know a lot of these already exist but you’re honestly the best fallout mod showcase channel out there and I’d love it in your format.
You’ve gotta tell me that outfit mod you’ve got on at 9:22 please lol
I don't get why Tactics was decanonized. It's the excuse needed to make Fallout 3 and Fallout 4's Brotherhood makes sense.
The service rifle is just gorgeous
I love the ghoul just running on the floor lol
Those sliding ghouls were surprising to say the least
Have you tried junkmaster? Adds the r91, Chinese assault rifle, assault/marksman carbine, bunch of other classic weapons, items, craft benches, even some critters from previous fallout games. I believe it's xbox exclusive for now, but if you have an Xbox really aughta check it out. The mod author is an absolute animal too.
As long as your load order doesn't have 100 plus mods, if you play on xbox or even just have a copy kicking its feet on xbox, you really owe it to yourself to give this one a try
The best service rifle mod is SREP or Wasteland Melody’s Service Rifle
Oh you changed your thumbnail Style!
gotta change things up every once and a while lol, realized i've been using the same thumbnail for a looooong time
0:27 average zombie walkers mod moment
it’s so bad
second talon rifle had me fiending i love the look of the g3a3
just found your channel nice list I too cant play without the service rifle the only complaint I have with it is how the animations are they are as someone who is trained with a rifle of that family they seem a bit slowish and they don't strike the bolt catch or the forward assist but it's a forgivable mistake for the best rifle mod out there
Can’t wait to actually get a gaming pc to play fallout with all of these mods!
Fun fact about hte chinese assault rifle, if you know anything abotu the real world AK, it can apply to the Chiense AR, such as turnign it into an SVD, carbine, SMG and that one giant AK used as an LMG.
If you want something a bit less fancy (and lighter on data) you can also use wasteland melody SR. It's not as customisable but covers just about the same stuff and is 100MB less.
Yeah but that M203 attachment for the SREP is just so damn smooth.
My head canon is that in the Fallout Universe the FN FAL was adopted as the NATO standard issue assault rifle, being designated as the R91 in the USA, The G1-G3 (HK-91) in West Germany, The FAL in the Benelux, and some other designations across NATO member states, but as resources became more and more scarce and the NATO alliance collapsed, the need for a standardized 7.62 rifle became obsolete, allowing for the development of less mechanically complex polymer weapons like the M4/M16 platforms (service rifle, assault carbine and marksman).
Why are you overthinking so much? The FAL is already in two Fallout games....
Can you make a series where you explain your modding workflow, since most tutorials are for 3ds max and not blender
It's shitty enough that Bethesda doesn't honour the original Fallout lore but they don't even honour their own and see fit to replace and retcon their own implementations soley to support the vision of the game *they* want, not the fans or what's even what's basic common sense, like the Chinese sub commander having a N99 instead of a Mauser pistol.
the original Fallout doesn't honour its own lore. get over it
@@tattybogles3156 Don't know what you mean by that.
@@SynthLizard8 Even by Fallout 2, the lore was being changed. It's a case of this stuff really is kinda loose at best, so trying to be snobby about it just comes off as "No True Scottsman".
@@justusbladetooth forget the stupid lore the lack of any fucking guns in this game( fallout 4) it's just terrible these lazy motherfukers had one job to add the Chinese assault rifle and that would have been the only gun in the entire game I would have fun using but now they always have to have good cut content and none of the shit that they give us is good
The BOS having guns like this would make sense because of where they come from.
Minute 1:19 this assault rifle is a spanish CETME 7.62mm
Lore friendly shotguns would be cool tbh
Deadpools2099 service rifles sights dont line up, cant shoot the weapon properly😢
I have to use mods for the guns in fallout 4 or i wont use them at all. The vanilla guns are mostly cursed and all of them are extremely unbalanced. Like the combat rifle using 45. Acp while doing more or less damage than other guns chambered in the same 45 acp. It's like the devs from Bethesda put zero work into their guns or just don't know anything about firearm ergonomics or how they work. Bethesda is king of cursed immersion breaking guns.
For those on console if the default fov for the Chinese rifle the only mod that fixes it like the ebr mod is the wardaddy animation mod for it
I really do enjoy this assault rifle from Fallout 3 I was able to use that when I was on the mods couple weeks ago and use the version that looks like at the end of Fallout 3 as well I agree with exceptions to the assault rifle to be allowed in like you getting something from Call of Duty and you're going to do something modern or close but do you want to be friendly to the game
Something about being chased by a T-posing ghouls sliding around through the floor is unnerving.
My only gripe with the service rifle is that there aren’t 10 inch barrel options
My only issue with deadpool's service rifle is that you need up to 3 patches to fix the issues with it. Also the upper receiver options get rid of the charging handle? Still in my load order, but it needs some extra favor as far as mods go.
The recommendation for the doombased FAL came at a perfect time because I was considering looking for an FAL mod.
IMO the SREP is way better than Deadpools service rifle. The constant racking of the bolt everytime you equip it bothered me.
Plus that 203 attachment is *chefs kiss*
Fair choice. I'm not a fan of that one personally. Too modern for my tastes and I'm entirely opposed to underbarrel grenade launchers in my game. I find them too extravagant for a post-apocalypse. If it was a modern military shooter then maybe, but in fallout it's not for me.
@@witchBoi_Connor For me it depends on my play thru or style. If I want some kind of recent apocalypse, zombie settings something like TLoU or Walking Dead, Resident Evil themed then having more polished weapons is my thing. I dont like having them in abundance when doing an actual Fallout playthrough, but the good thing is a lot of the 'modern' firearms were already in the lore. Id like to see replacer mods that put these weapons into the leveled list but at a severely reduced rate and reserved for only a few select bosses and factions. BoS, Gunners.
I liked Fallout 4 but I think it really needed more weapon variety.
another mod that is great for people that really like the Assault rifle from New Vegas (service rifle, assault carbine, marksman carbine) is the m4 mod pack by warfighter.
What uniform mod did you use while display the Chinese assault rifle I really liked it
This might be nitpicking but the FNV AR's don't have the rear charging handle but one on the side kinda like an AK
The service rifle lets you choose between both
@@DegenerateDak Nope, none of the AR15 style rifles (service rifle, assault carbine, marksman carbine, all american, or survivalists rifle) in NV even have a rear charging handle.
I would really like to see something along the lines of submachine guns, the Uzi is a classic that needs to be in fallout
There is a lore friendly uzi in the Miami Misadventures mod from the Fallout Miami team released recently.
It's in Fallout Tactics
Hey dak these are the best assault rifles in my opinion!
Woah, what is that armour mod?
I’ve been trying to find the service rifle on the Xbox but can’t find it
These are all really nice, but it bothers me that none of the weapon mods out there have partial reload animations. I don't know if it's an engine limitation or not, but it really takes me out of it when I notice it.
Are there any mods in the main menu that add rifles and pistols? I can’t use nexus because it won’t let me log in.
Is the holes carbine ported yet it's still not on the mod page
Hmm, should we use the service rifle, the r91, or tge chinese assault rifle for our game?
Umm how about a lewis gun with a magazine on the side and the sights off an AA gun?
0:27 "It just works"
I really want to see the EM-2 No. 9 Mk. 1 ported to Xbox. It is just a beautiful looking gun.
It is on Xbox. Look in the description for the link to it
