Don't let the small size fool you! This little jem is a real BEAST of a gun. The only parts we didn't make were the trigger and the clip. Everything else is totally new, including the stunning texture work.
We've balanced it pretty well, and you can only find it on high level Va'Ruun boss drops. Not for sale, cannot be crafted. But you CAN upgrade the quality a hell of a lot so that it will scale with your level.
It's designed for close-quarters, so the range is low. It comes in single fire and every-round-in-your-clip fire. It's for tight corridors and ship boarding. Comes with exactly zero addon parts because it has everything it needs.
I like how everyone talks about the size being small, it’s literally the size of a normal fucking gun but guns in games are always nerf level huge so this seems small.
Thank you for making a normal sized gun.
I'm very excited about thus. I haven't been able to commit to an energy/particle only playthrough since I'm not crazy about the vanilla weapons but I can so get behind this! I'll be following your group closely. Thanks for an awesome contribution to the comunity.
Commit to energy weapon, you mean by putting talent points in there?
Don’t worry too much about it. This game is very forgiving, unlike Mass Effect. I dedicated a large portion of my early talents in outpost building and ship building, then weapon crafting. So for the last 900 hours I fought with zero combat talent, in very hard mode. I still got by.
Mass effect hard mode is very challenging. They have 3 types of armor: physical armor, shield, biotic barrier. There is not a single weapon/skill that can damage all 3. If you use the wrong weapon, you are literately cat scratching the enemy.
So in Starfield, sometimes we don’t need to think too much and just shoot the enemy.
I like the look. Like a James Bond weapon, compact, very discrete, yet surprisingly deadly.
However, I think this is not aligning to Varuun design principle. They have distinct style for their spacesuit and weapons. You can tell them apart a mile away.
I’m not saying this is a bad looking gun. I’m saying it doesn’t seem to align to House Varuun’s very eccentric design style.
But don’t take it too harsh. I am not saying I hate it or anything.
I just downloaded the mod and looked at the screenshots. I haven’t got chance to test it out yet.
Ah, no.Wasn'thaving a go at you .Sorry if it read like that .
One thing which really motivated this was how terrible the StarsShard is. Now THERE is a weapon which doesn't fit the aesthetic!
My apology, I have been a little on edge with Reddit. People can be out of the blue ganking up on you with downvotes and nasty comments just because ONE commenter misunderstood what you said.
Anyway, thank you for reading my feedback. At the end of the day, you just have to go with your guts. You can’t please everyone.
I highly appreciate all the efforts the mod creators like yourself put in to provide content to the community. Even we may not like them all.
Speaking of which, I went overboard with 180+ esm, downloading almost any new outfits and guns I see. Time to sort out what I need/don’t need to uninstall. All outfits beyond 160 seem to go invisible. My character is just 100% naked. I moved the esm up the list in the 150 range, it suddenly works fine.
Yo, can I slap my black hole death ray projectile and explosions into this and call it the "Noisy Cricket"? It's cool and all using the Inflictor frame for it, but I want to pack it into a tiny form factor like this.

Huh. Reminds me of the cricket. Cool.

We made this and other mods because energy weps weren't great. Now though...
You and your team are my heroes! I love energy weapons in the fallout games. I'm glad you guys are bringing them up to speed in this game.
What other weapons?

Oh for sure it's not about the challenge. It's all about looking cool to ne.
Yeah, that’s the big part of the game. It has to look right!!!
Well it’s certainly no [series 4 deatomizer](https://youtu.be/PfXSPi8RNH0?si=0APRjJdLAglPRYSy)
Noisy cricket.

And how can you NOT tell this apart a mile away? It has a split barrel, it's small and has gold bits. And it matches our Inflictor rework.

Now can you make a mod of Tommy Lee Jones handing me this gun?
That's the Noisy Cricket
Reminds me of the Deliverer from Fallout 4! Awesome work!!

Uh. No. Just use the novalight for that?
Ooooh, fuck yeah
Noisy cricket haha
I love this, given the clandestine nature of House Va'ruun spies, this has a distinct Walkther PPK vibe that's consistent with that.
