Essential improvements
Make 100% Completion Possible
- Because of two unpatched bugs, no more than 99.96% completion can be attained in the vanilla game. One of the 221 water towers does not actually exist, and the final optional sidequest - no matter which one it happens to be - does not reward the usual 3 Weapon and 3 Vehicle parts.
Use the 100% Completion mod[1] |
---|
|
Bullseye Rifle Fix
- This mod fixes a couple of annoying issues with the Bullseye Rifle, like using improper ammo type, lack of possibility to zoom with scope and more.
