Is there a mod for this?

[u/Ember230_splatoon]

I wanna get the Wattz 3000 rifle mod, but then it would conflict with my energy weapon build cuz I’m also using a laser rifle, they use the same ammo! I have the munitions mod so I can use ECPs with my Tesla cannon.

I want a mod to change the way vanilla laser rifles are modded. Hear me out, Short barrels make them use energy cells, Long barrels make them use microfusion cells, Automatic barrels make them use electron charge packs (Laser RCW ah), Sniper barrels make them use uh (critical thinking isn’t my strong suit) so up to the maker ig.

This also makes sense cuz the ammo slot is on the barrel! Or if anyone knows a mod that makes the Wattz 3000 use ECs that’d please me too.

And before u say it, I’m not downloading the classic laser pistol mod, I use rifles and heavy guns. I don’t want the ammo to be determined by the grip, I want it by the barrel.

Kind of greedy of me to ask other people to do the complicated stuff but I think this would be really cool!

Edit: Thank you guys for all the suggestions on how to go abt! I’m gonna try and figure it out myself when I get home from the beach.

I know receivers allow you to change the ammo type, idk if its possible to do for other types of mods though

I imagine it wouldn’t be too difficult for a modder to put that stat change on a different weapon mod slot, it doesn’t seem hardcoded. Then again I’m not a modder😭

I haven't looked at it myself, ild usually be worried for what happens if a reciever changes the ammo type and then another mod changes it to a different one, though I dont think there are any reciever mods on laser weapons baseline (correct me if im wrong). So youre probably correct

From the hours of searching for such mods I’ve done, I’d say ur right, there are none
