SP mod: the reconstructor/rebuilder

[BlackMilk]

Forgot what the name was. I just remember reading long ago that there was a mod that added a weapon to the singleplayer game that allows the player to rebuild structures and ofcourse to then smash it right up again.

I think I got some mod manager working last time I played this game but the only stuff I could get to work (that I was even interested in) was something like unlimited ammo and a stronger hammer or something along those lines.

While I'd still like to use those again for creative and strategic destruction, does anyone know if it's possible to get this rebuilding tool in the game now?

No mod needed, just beat all the story missions and it is unlocked

The reconstructor is a multiplayer "weapon" that modders put into the GFWL version. In Steam Edition and Remarstered, the reconstructor is an unlockable and will appear after you beat the game.

Ah alright then. I was hoping to have fun with it before beating the game but I suppose this is better than having to work with unofficial mods that may or may not work.

Although I can't quickly think of how it'd be unfair to have a rebuilding tool since your objective is always to destroy stuff.

Thanks, guys! If I could pick both replies as answer, I would.

Did you already finish the game in a previous version? You can drag Steam Edition save files into the remaster files to unlock the items without another playthrough.

Nope! I think I got to unlock Oasis and did a few missions in there. Never completed it. Now I wish I did because I like to put a decent amount of time in between playthroughs.

But at least I know how to get it now.

There's a mod that unlocks the Reconstructor without having to beat the game, here it is: https://www.nexusmods.com/redfactionguerilla/mods/32

I'll check that out. Do you know if achievements are still enabled with some mods (I'd guess unlimited ammo and such would disable them) or does loading any mod disable them?

No mods disable achievements, only the in-game cheats do.

Alright, thanks! Was having some trouble with the manager but got it to work and eventually also managed to unlock the tool from the start. It's not exactly what I expected but should be fun to use.

But that's all I need to know then, I guess. Cheers.

Something interesting happened the 1st time I played the remarstered edition... I was given the option to import my files from the steam edition, in which I already beated the game. I was able to sneak in the reconstructor in my inventory since I saved with it in my inventory, but I wasn't able to purchase it from Samanya.
