Cannot mod weapons
Hey all, I have all the DLC, I right clicked my new vegas in my library, and confirmed I have all the DLC installed, and it also shows up in the main menu under DLC. I can see and have access to all the GRA weaponry, ammo, mods etc and got all the radio transmissions and quests at level 1, so I know the DLC is working.... to an extent. When I mouse over a weapon and press X (my Anti-Material Rifle, for example), with an anti-material rifle mod in my inventory, I have no option to mod my weapon, it just doesn't work. Same goes for my long barrel mod for my grenade rifle. Anyone know a fix? Cannot mod anything.

You can't put GRA mods on non GRA guns and Vice/Versa.

vanilla weapons[fallout.wikia.com] only accept vanilla mods and GRA weapons[fallout.wikia.com] only accept GRA mods

also the fact that you have an Anti-Material Rifle at level one indicates that you are using console commands to get weapons or using mods , that might have an effect , but trying to put gra mods on a non-gra weapon wont work and vice-versa , unless you install the non_gra mod that makes all ammo and guns compatible

also if you are using console commands be careful , they can seriously bork the game

I'm not level one, I got the anti-material rifle from the brotherhood of steel. I was just saying that when I created my character, it was apparent I had all the mods. But I have a normal Anti-Material Rifle and normal Anti-Material Rifle weapon mods, and I still cannot use them.

you still don't get it... did you check the links I posted? there are NO weapon mods for the vanilla anti materiel rifle in the main game! what you are trying to do is to use the GRA weapon mod on the vanilla weapon... GRA weapons have "(GRA)" after their name, for example "Anti-Materiel Rifle (GRA)"

You are absolutely right and I was mistaken, the mods I have are GRA. It just says it in the description, that's where I made that mistake. Thanks for the help.

Maybe start your own thread with pertinent details instead of a 2-year necro stacked on a 5-year necro.

Any problem anyone in this thread had in 2014 is likely unrelated, or has been fixed by mods. This thread is literally half a decade older than your Steam account.

Without knowing the exact weapons you are having trouble with, what mods you may or may not be using, and any other important information, solving your issue here is unlikely.

Create a new thread, with details, and people can help.

and yet this thread still pops up on the searches whenever someone like me gets the problem hahaha, i think its fine tbh, and getting more threads on the same issue can also be helpful, so long as you dont find it intimidating to have to read through all of them to get what your really looking for lol.

They show up in searches for references if you need to look back. You shouldn't be performing necromancy on them. Take the info you need, see if it works; if it doesn't, make a new relevant thread.

It's why moderators lock old threads with new posts. To prevent confusion. You see this on the forum discussions all the time. If you don't believe me, go necromancer an old Off Topic thread and wait and watch, it'll get locked because "This thread was quite old before the last post, we've locked it to prevent confusion."

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
