PLASMA PACKIN' ED-E

Ever wonder why ED-E is packing an alien blaster? Wonder how it fits into a generic looking tube?

Wonder no more, for this mod will swap it out for a more plausible plasma gun salvaged from a Mister Gutsy.

Performance is largely the same to the original alien blaster gun; same damage and crit power, but the projectile has a much higher speed allowing him to better engage at range.

Thanks for this.

OK, just to clarify, you'l only get this Plasma Option if you go the upgrade route that upgrades ED-E's weapons and not his armor correct?
He/She (I think it's a She myself, which is why I caller Edie instead of Eddie) doesn't start the game with this right?

Thanks MadCat, ED-E is my favourite follower, and sometimes my only one

Mine is female because even it's name as spoken by the voice in the recordings calls it EDIE-E, so the name 'stuck' with me.
If you look at the screen shot thread, I'm RPing 'IT" as being taken over by Shodan, SHE even talks like Shodan.

And Yea, Sometimes ED-E is my only follower too, as I use the ED-E has Light-Step so he/she/it doesn't set off traps,
whereas I've watched Boone or Veronica get tossed across a room because they just barge over a few land mines
(I use "Deadlier Explosives New Vegas") along with Explosives Critical Knockdown, so in my game,
people get pretty airborne by Land mines. Great Fun!

I guess it's a matter of personal choice, then. I don't hear it as being spoken like that, as a girls name. I hear it as its letters.

Post edited. My apologies for being an [censored].

My apologies also. Technically the voice in the recording says E-D-E, so it just stuck in my head as EDIE, mainly because of the spelling,
and the pronunciation. If it was EDD-E, then DEFINITELY I'd be referring to it as Him.

But, it's really cool to hear ED-E saying "Y-y-y-y-you are n-n-n-n-not Welcome Here" in Shodan's Voice as she starts zapping Raiders...
I've it set up so she says all of Shodan's lines, that way it's not the same one over and over again...
Besides, us girls gotta stick together, at least My character is one, so it's usually "You know who", and Veronica and ED-E pmsing across
the wasteland :laugh:

Very nice

I'm some issue though, EDE is firing plasma but sometimes reverts to laser in the middle of a fight. Is that intentional?
also, over medium-long distances, EDE is ridiculously inaccurate, now with the plasma projectile it's just much more apparent.

It's a bug that manifested with an official bugfix: when you turn ED-E in to be upgraded, he used to lose all the inventory you had on him. Now, when it transfers the stuff to the new ED-E... it also transfers his old invisible item zap gun over too.

I put a workaround of sorts into his dialog, I'm not sure if it works. Just start dialog with him (not just the companion wheel) and presumably his normal greeting blurb will run a dialog script that will remove the potentially multiple instances of the laser and put in a plasma. Keep on running that greeting until he no longer has the laser. You can check manually by selecting him in the console and entering "GetItemCount 166B94" and checking how many he has in him still.

Also, since his companion quest is "ED-E My Love", which is based on the song "Eddie, My Love", ED-E is pronounced "Eddie".

Yea, I'm old enough to know that, but I don't care, I care as much about that as I care about Fallout Lore and if something is "Canon"

I couldn't care less whether a bunch of Pacman and Ghosts were trying to kill me in the wasteland.

Unless it was some ultra-[censored] Anime Gigantic Sword that looked like a 2x4 nailed to an 8 foot by 4 foot sheet of Plywood,
then I'd care.

Also, some people are saying that they can't install this because it requires Caravan.esm?

It's fixed now, Occam.

Cool
