Bear’s Vanilla Weapons Renamed
Adds Manufacturer names to all basic guns in the game, for a little extra immersion.
Have you been playing Starfield and said to yourself “Huh, I wonder who made these weapons I’m using to to ragdoll these pirates/aliens/civilians” – Well wonder no longer! With Bear’s Vanilla Weapons Renamed, every Standard (read – non unique) Firearm in the game is renamed to add its manufacturer into its name! Its Immersive! Its Impressive! I wasted a whole 2 hours of my day learning how to do this!
Some of the weapons in Starfield aren’t immediately apperent what manufacturer they were made by (read, dont literally have the name stamped on it somewhere) but it can be guessed at by the design. For example, the Rattler doesnt specifically say Laredo on it, but we can infer it from the wood grain grip on it. I guess because of that, I would say that this mod isnt 100% lore accurate until proven otherwise.

Possible Future Updates
– Some of the weapons have really weird names that take me right out of the game – Like the “Shotty”. I might just straight up make up new names for these and release it as an alternate download.
– I did toy with the idea of adding what kind of weapon it is, for example “Laredo Tombstone Rifle” but I decided against it as I personally didnt want it. Again, I’m happy to waste another hour doing these updates if people want it.
– I don’t know if the Melee weapons are “branded” as such, but if they are that’ll be an update for sure.
– The Old Earth stuff – Again, I wasn’t sure if I SHOULD do this from an immersion standpoint – especially as I know my IRL Gun knowlege isnt the best so I might have got it wrong – but I did it anyway. I could do a version without the OE weapons if people want that. Added V1.1
– Translations – this is currently an EN only mod – however I am not opposed to making it all languages, i just dont have the knowlege. if you want to help me translate the mod please DM me
