whoop-de-doo, i'm still garbage at substance painter.
Adds in one new assault rifle, being a Zastava Arms M21A Tactical, to the game for you to play around with. In simplest possible terms, it's an AK74 for people who don't like how the AK74 is mediocre at best. In more accurate terms, however, it's an AK12 that trades having enough damage to work in a frenzerker build for having enough ammo and pickup rate to be good as a normal assault rifle...
...and twenty extra damage points to spare.
I hear you saying, "what good does 20 extra points of damage do?" To that, I respond: "Body Expertise." This is an assault rifle that hits the 85.5-ish damage breakpoint necessary to 2-4 shot enemies with Body Expertise on Death Wish and above, something that only LMGs were able to do before, making it in effect a godsend for Body Expertise mains who want to be able to kill things outside of point-blank range.
I hear you saying, "but I thought Body Expertise was hot garbage?" And to that, I respond: Well, I don't really have a response. Pretty much every single skill in the game that occupies the top of a skill tree should be able to revolutionize gameplay, and yet Body Expertise is the only one that does not simply because it doesn't benefit from Helmet Popping. But alas, comprehensive rebalancing is not something I'm good at - if you want a rebalance, go check out something by Sprite or Solo Queue Pixy. Sorry.
But hey, even if you don't give a shit about Body Expertise like most people, this assault rifle is still going to make itself your new best friend all the same.
BeardLib is REQUIRED. Custom Attachment Points (or WeaponLib) is REQUIRED. SuperBLT and Auto-Fire Sound Fix 2 are REQUIRED. CAFCW is RECOMMENDED but NOT REQUIRED.
Goes in mod_overrides.
Skin support: Pretty much complete.
Future Roadmap:
Unique barrel mods - was going to do these with CAP but that caused clipping issues.Maybe custom fire sounds courtesy of Killerwolf? I dunno.Bolt milling options a la the LaRue OBR "5.56."Disassembled stockand speed-pull magazine.
Known Issues:
Spoiler!
- I kind of lied about skin support being complete. The lower receiver has fully-complete skin textures, but the magazine and stock have slightly broken skin textures because of model tool. Hopefully I can fix this in the future.
- Default ironsights are actual garbage. I would have done a version of the model with actual ironsights, but the full-detail model had such an absurdly high polygon count that it would have made my GPU catch on fire so I couldn't use it. Sorry.
@"Burn My Bread" Again, wish I could make the safety not on but the interior of the weapon's receiver isn't fully modeled and I'm not sure if trying to add an interior to the thing is going to break the UV layouts and force me to start over from scratch. But hey, all the same it's great to hear that people are still enjoying this mod. Maybe I'll figure something out...
