XM4 Specific Stat Notes:
||
The XM4 aims to be an inbetween to the vanilla M4A1 (CAR4) and vanilla M16 (AMR16) in many ways.
The damage is set to 69. No, I didn't set it because memes, I set it that way such that you can readily hit the 85 damage mark with the use of More Ammunition Types, or by using the Task Force Barrel and other damage boosting mods, or by simply using Underdog basic..
The fire rate is set to 722 RPM, same as the original XM4. It is in between the vanilla M4A1's strangely slow 600 RPM and the M16's very fast 857 RPM.
The ammo pickup is set to 3-7 with a total ammo capacity of 120 rounds (4 magazines). As before, this serves as an inbetween to the M4A1 and M16. It should be plenty of ammo as long as you are not missing.
The base concealment is 19, with the default mods pushing the XM4 into 21 concealment. This is actually greater than either the vanilla M16 or M4A1, which is attributed to the collapsed default stock and 10in barrel giving the XM4 a shorter profile than the vanilla M4A1. Depending on how you modify the XM4, you could just treat concealment as a dump stat or get low 30s concealment at the cost of stability/accuracy/common sense.
The accuracy and stability are an inbetween of the vanilla M4A1 and M16, at a base of 48 and 48. Default mods will increase these stats slightly, but you are expected to pick attachments that boost these values.
In terms of modding capability, the XM4 has most of what you'd expect from BOCW: Barrels, Magazines, Grip Tape, Stock, etc.
Not all of the bonuses translated 100% to Payday 2 (lol @ original dropshot wrap bonuses), so there were a few liberties taken with their bonuses.
There are a few "new" parts (the 20 round/25 round magazines and their Jungle Taped versions, the Extended Default Stock, etc) that were added for fun, and a few memey mods that, well ... see for yourself.

**Known Issues:**
**The animation used was Playbonk's 100% Accurate one, resulting in animation issues depending on the magazine chosen, such as the player using the force for the 20 round mags or the jungle taped magazines. I personally prefer the accurate anims and accept there will be occasional animation issues in exchage for picking my preferred anims.**
**Weapon Painter/Blueprint variants lack icons. The text should help you identify which Weapon Painter blueprint is which.**
**The Stickers will render straight through the Strap and Bolt Catch. This is unfortunately a problem with the render template for the stickers, but should not affect weapon functionality.**
**The straps will sometimes clip into some parts. I only forbade the most egregious problems (like making the strap invisible if using the M16 Upper), the rest is left to your own judgement on whether or not you want to keep the strap, or use the no strap attachment to hide it.**.
**Stock Belts will also clip through some stocks, or not fit correctly on others. I only worked with the forbids on XM4 exclusive stocks and don't feel like checking every single stock in the game/available (read: Frenchy's Tacticool Stocks or Pawcio's AR15 Stocks) to see what works or doesn't work.**
**Probable Future Asked Questions:**
**Q: Please do (insert weapon here) or (insert weapon mod here)**
**A: No. I will make the weapons and attachments I want at my own pace.**
**Q: Leon: Where are my meme strap and Get Fucked dust cover?**
**A: The same place where my motivation is, the trash can. Please leave a message after the beep. (Beep!)**
**Q: Please do (x) blueprint parts!**
**A: ~~I am mostly uninterested by the XM4 blueprints and do not care to do their parts. Also, even if I wanted to, I am at the mercy of Activi$ion's RNG store to let me extract the blueprints I want (Greyhound extracts whatever assets are loaded by the game and if I can't view the blueprint in the store, I can't get the assets)~~**
**Greyhound no longer has support thanks to Richochet anticheat. And in the interest of keeping the file size (slightly) more sane, I selected blueprints that I thought were nice (SOG Commando) or had unique parts (Steel Shredder Stock+Handguard, Ultimate Hunter Handguard, Kingmaker/Black Tide Handguard, etc).**
**Q: Skinmaps?**
**A: No.**
**Q: The Commando Strap is badass! Can I have it as a standalone mod?**
**A Done, find it [here](https://modworkshop.net/mod/32423). If you have problems, tell FrenchyAU to fix them, because he's supposed to be the one in charge of the mod.**
**Q: Why no dual mag animation?! >:(**
~~A: Squatting Slavic: Only >:3 can do animations~~
**A: I am no animator. If I knew how to animate, I would have done a custom reload/dual magazine custom animation.**
**Q: REEEEEEE Onion gun 2 stronk/2week, needs nerf/buff!!!!**
**A Go into the files and change the stats yourself. I am not liable for any problems you make because you screwed with the file structure.**
1.10 - Animation Update
Now uses Playbonk's animation! As much as I liked Synd1cate's anim, I am going to use the anim that I paid for.
Fixed issue with Front Post GUI using incorrect icon.
Changed sound cues to the new anim.
Slightly modified the Strap Mesh to use a weighted normal.
Slightly modified the 100% Accurate Iron Sights and weapon black market icons.
Previous Updates:

1.09: The Goddamn Onion Gun: Remastered.
-**You will probably need to sell any existing XM4s. Most of the original parts return, some parts are no longer available, some had their internal IDs changed, while others were deleted and replaced with similar enough substitutes.**
**(If you're reading this after you updated the mod, you might want to consider starting the game with the Custom Weapon Crash Fix).**
For an example of parts getting their IDs changed, the SOG Commando Stock Belt had its internal ID changed, but should retain all the same functionality of before.
For an example of a substitute, the PSA Magazines from GT's PSA Commando are gone, but are replaced with similar 20/25 round magazines using the BOCW M16's assets.
Another example would be the blueprint receivers/grips no longer being their own attachments, but are instead tied to using Weapon Painter.
Pawcio's Iron Sights are no longer available because it was just getting annoying to work with.
I also took out the Windmill Magazine and Onion Strap. Rest assured memers, you still have plenty of options to poke fun of silly writing and not so accurate gun design.
-**The XM4 now uses GSMA textures.**
-**Most of the blueprint receivers are now available through Weapon Painter instead of being separate attachments.**
-**Weapon now uses Synd1cate's custom M4A1 animation.**
-**Reload and base firing noise now use assets straight from BOCW instead of recordings. Thanks Zdann!**
1.08 - Fixed spelling error with the basic lower receiver on the primary XM4 that resulted in constant rebuys and crashes.
Added the Kingmaker Charging Handle.
1.07 -
* **All PART AND WEAPON IDs were revised! (generally from "wpn_fps_xm4" to "wpn_fps_ass_xm4_prim"/"wpn_fps_smg_xm4").**
**I would suggest selling all of your existing XM4s before updating! (if you're reading this after you updated the mod, you might want to consider starting the game with the Custom Weapon Crash Fix).**
* **Revised file structure in the event that Nardo wants to turn the textures into GSMA textures.**
**If the file size seems a bit big in your mod_overrides, I'd delete the mod, then re-extract the newest version into mod_overrides.**
Added a bunch of new parts:
* Added new meme parts: 100% Accurate BOCW Gadget Position and No Stock/Buffer Tube/Stock Adapter.
* Added new barrels: 11.8in Extended Barrel, 12.5in Cavalry Lancer Barrel, 13.5in Task Force Barrel, 13.7in Takedown Barrel, and 13.7in Ranger Barrel (I know I missed the 13.5 in Reinforced Barrel, unfortunately, that is a problem with me missing my window to extract it before Greyhound got un-updated with anticheat).
* Added new stocks: Duster Stock, Raider Pad, Buffer Tube Stock, Wire Stock, and Tactical Stock.
* Added new magazines: Black Ops Mini Clamp, 45 Rounds Speed Magazine, and Salvo 60 Round Fast Magazine.
* Added new stock belt: SAS Combat Stock Cheekrest (allows you to recreate the SAS Combat Stock in combo with the Tactical Stock).
* Added "new" upper receiver: Upper Receiver with M16 Carry Handle (it's the SOG Commando Upper Receiver, but using the default M16 Textures).
* Added new parts based on the Steel Shredder blueprint: Steel Shredder Stock.
* Added new parts based on the Steel Shredder blueprint: Ultimate Hunter Handguard, Ultimate Handguard Grip, Ultimate Hunter Lower Receiver, and Ultimate Hunter Upper Receiver.
* Added new parts based on the Pathfinder Kingmaker blueprint: Kingmaker Handguard, Kingmaker Grip.
* The Front Post now uses the correct textures from the base XM4 barrel and not from the No Front Post attachment. (oops).
* The stock adapter now uses the Buffer Tube stock from BOCW.
* The Jungle Taped Default XM4 Magazine now uses the Jungle Style Magazines from BOCW. The memey Windmill mag still uses the poorly taped setup.
* The SOG Commando Handguard was re-sized/adjusted.
* The SOG Commando Upper Receiver and SOG Commando grip now use the correct SOG Commando textures.
* Update to the firing sounds that no longer has the bullet casing sounds.
* Fixed typos where parts with "receiver" were mispelled as "reciever". Ovengrill and making that spelling error...
* Some minor stat changes, though most importantly: the secondary XM4 now has +1 magazine (120 rounds). Yes, I realize this makes it "Para but better", no, I don't care. If you are bothered by the stats, go into the files and change it yourself.
1.06 - **Caused an argument on MWS Discord by accident.**
*Killerwolf Schwarzenegger: Took you long enough to unscrew your rotation problem.* **(Weapon mod no longer requires Perfect View Model)**
**Adjusted how files work internally in the event Nardo decides the onion gun needs to look better.
**Added 20 round/25 round taped PSA magazines.**
**Fixed error with 3rd person texture path on stock belt.**
**Added Charms support.**
1.05 - Changed default firing noise to not have bullet casings at the end, updated normal maps to ... uh, follow the correct format?
1.04 - Added SOG Commando Grip, SOG Commando Lower Reciever, SOG Commando Handguard, Carry Handle Upper Reciever, and Stock Belt attachments.
1.03 - Fixed an error with the Secondary XM4 and the stance being strangely offset and disabled the Daniel Defense Iron Sights on the secondary XM4.
1.02 - Fixed a bug with the unit base of the stock adapter, added primary version, added Iron Sights pack support, and updated some icons.
1.01 - Adjusted normal maps, fixed diffuse on the Windmill Mag bullets, fixed typo with the 25 round magazine, fixed bugged file paths, and fixed the front post.

0.90 - Upload onto MWS.
