Gasch's Gear - Guns and Grenades
Target Version: 1.0 & 1.1

Download
On Steam

Expands the world of weapons in Rimworld to include more intermediate variants while simultaneously diversifying weapons to accentuate strengths and weaknesses. This mod also keeps the flavor of vanilla Rimworld. New weapons are generic (no specific model names like 'SKS' or 'FN FAL/SA-58'), and the icons have been lovingly crafted to blend right into vanilla textures. The tech tree has also been reworked to allow a smooth progression through weapons technology with viable choices at every stage.
 
Overview

• More early-era firearms!
• More distinct firearms across all ages!
• Grenades are dangerous!
• Firearm and Grenade research completely overhauled!
• All ranged weapons are rebalanced!

Compatibility
This is very likely to conflict with mods which alter vanilla firearms or firearm related research. It will not cause a crash if added to unmodded saves, but will cause many vanilla firearms and molotovs to disappear.

Screenshots please?

Screenshots please?

I added screenshots as attachments. I'll make some spoiler tags tonight.

EDIT: Turns out this forum doesn't support spoiler tags, as far as I can tell.

Rejoice! Gasch's Gear - Guns and Grenades now patches vanilla research rather than overwriting it. This means that it should be compatibly with most any mod. I can confirm compatibility with More Vanilla Turrets and Rimsenal: Enhanced Vanilla Pack, and I don't anticipate any mod conflicts with other weapons mods as well.

Keep in mind that this mod alters vanilla research and rebalances vanilla weapons in addition to adding many new weapons. The recommended way to get the maximum enjoyment out of it is to play without other weapon adding or altering mods. That said, your game is your own and I hope you find these additions valuable and fun!

@theguruofreason Hi

Is there a weapon where I can throw a grenade out of the walls?
How could it happen in real life that if I threw a grenade on top of a wall I would totally pass

regards

I'm not quite sure what that second sentence means, but there is definitely a way to make grenades able to be thrown over walls. I have no plans to do this, however.

V1.0.2 Update - Compatibility

I have switched from removing all vanilla guns to simply overwriting them (except the chain shotgun, which is still removed). This should resolve all compatibility problems. Please check out my mod, rate, subscribe, and favorite! Also watch for my next in the series: Gasch's Gear - Bows and Blades!

V1.0.3 Compatibility Update

- All vanilla weapon modifications are now patches
- Chain Shotgun is no longer removed via PatchOperationRemove, instead it is altered so that it should never appear in game (untested)
