Handmade Shotgun (Creation Club) Not Affected By Rifelman Perk?

[Tessa]

Using the handmade shotgun (triple barrel one) I leveled up Rifleman and noticed the damage staid the same on the weapon. Is it not considered a rifle or is this a bug?

I doubt Bethesda put this much thought into it, but I sincerely doubt a homemade shotgun would have rifling inside the barrel.

Sorry sir, but the QA says the mod is 100% working with all parts of the game as stated. On a serious note, do you have any mods installed?

no mods outside of the Creation Club mods/dlc? Still not sure what to call it.

The rifleman perk should of increased the shotgun damage if it was 100% compatible.

Welp, that is the Bethesda QA for you. Lesson learned, avoid the Creation club and try the nexus for guns.

Never mind. the damage change showed up after I fast traveled. weird. I'll delete this discussion soon

It doesn't matter if it has rifling in the barrel, the game considers all longer barreled weapons with semi-auto functions as "rifles" that are affected by the rifleman perk.

Actually it has nothing to do with semi-auto, as bolt and lever actions are affected by rifleman too. My point was Bethesda doesn't understand what makes a rifle a rifle, so it's not surprising to me whenever they miscategorize a gun.

So you think them not including the shotgun in the perk was intentional? Really?

Does your reading comprehension wax and wane with the phase of the moon or something?

Either way, I wish I could test this, but I don't want to support the current Creation club. I wonder if he had any other weapon damage perk learned.

love how this post gets ignored while they complain about what was a graphical bug

[Tessa]

And now it's not letting me delete the discussion. welp.


Confirmed, Handmade shotgun is affected by Rifleman Perk. Might not show up until you fast travel though.

I mean, all this proves is that this is on the same quaility as a decent free mod. Not a dlc or even an official mini weapons pack.

Everytime I level a weapon perk up I can't see the damage diffrence until I get out of the Pip Boy and pull it back up again. It was always like that for me even in vanilla. Maybe it was just that.
