README

Where possible, locks weapon drops to only the specified manufacturer, apart from specific boss/miniboss/rare-spawn drops, which are left totally alone. There's one mod here per manufacturer, so you can choose whichever one you like.

Note that the mods only touch pools in which the manufacturer actually exist, so if you choose the Atlas lock mod, for instance, you'll still get the usual range of shotguns, SMGs, and sniper rifles, since Atlas doesn't make those gun types. You'd be limited to Atlas for Pistols, Heavy Weapons, and ARs, though.

You can generate your own custom combinations from the commandline by running the generation script yourself. For instance, if you wanted the game to only drop Vladof or Dahl weapons for you, you could run:

./gen_manufacturer_lock.py dal vla

Which would generate a manufacturer_lock_dal_vla.txt file. The manufacturer abbreviations are:

  • atl
  • cov
  • dal
  • hyp
  • jak
  • mal
  • ted
  • tor
  • vla

This mod has been updated as far as Vault Card 3.

Description (from inside mod)

Restricts drops for (mostly) all global (world-drop) weapon pools so that
*only* COV weapons will drop from that pool, including the relevant world
drop legendary pools.  This will *not* touch any pools in which that
manufacturer doesn't show up.  There are various corner cases where you'll
still see non-COV spawns, in situations where a drop pool is tightly
restricted to a particular manufacturer.  Boss/Miniboss/Rare_Spawn drops
have also not been touched.

Note that this *only* touches weapon type pools which COV actually
produces.  For other weapon types, you'll still see the full range of
available manufacturers.

To generate combinations of manufacturers, run the generation script with
three-letter manufacturer codes as the arguments.  See sourcecode for
details
