Mod «Vaults of Vagar» for Rimworld (v1.4)

This is my first mod in the Vaults of Vagar series, which aims to introduce weapons, armor and other equipment heavily inspired by Warhammer 40k and, to some extent, Warhammer Fantasy. In particular, this mod introduces a number of bolter weapons to the game, as well as a chainsword. Furthermore, all weapons are fully compatible with Combat Extended and use their own custom ammunition, including a variety of bolter rounds. In fact, I heavily recommend using this mod with Combat Extended, since vanilla Rimworld makes it nearly impossible to make bolters balanced without breaking the lore, while in Combat Extended their high lethality is offset by high ammunition weight.

Lore

Living as clans aboard cyclopean forge-ships, the Vagar are an entirely void-borne people. Since they spend their entire lives surrounded by sophisticated machinery, many Vagar are talented engineers and craftsmen. This is reflected in the weapons they produce: they are bulky, since weight is not as important in the confines of a spaceship, and complex, since tools and maintenance facilities are always readily available. However, these drawbacks are more than compensated by the surprising lethality of Vagar armaments compared to their planet-made counterparts. In fact, many wonder why the Vagar require such deadly weapons, since even a humble bolt pistol can kill most foes with but a single hit.

Contents

This mod contains seven weapons:

• “Varta” assault rifle

There are several types of each bolt round type, including Inferno bolts that set their targets alight and Razorstorm bolts that fill the air with deadly shrapnel!
