1.2.0 (03/08/2020): See change notes. Rebalance changes marked with red and green on weapon cards below.



In my eyes, RimWorld weapon system was always in dire need of expanding. With weapons lacking in all eras (no axes for tribal warriors, no muskets or crossbows for medieval colonies, little variety of weapons for industrial era and barely three different spacer guns), I have finally decided to take matters into my own hands. With experience in imitating game’s simple art style, me and Trunken have created a collection of 47 new weapons that we found could be useful, interesting and balanced.

Vanilla Weapons Expanded is part of a series of mods expanding on everyday life on the Rimworld. When paired together with a brand new Vanilla Apparel Expanded and Vanilla Armours Expanded, you can bring something to your game that will keep you interested in it for days.





Weapons are spread across the technology tree allowing for realistic and time-consuming progression, making the higher-tech weapons even more rewarding. Bear in mind, however, that all weapons are perfectly balanced in line with Vanilla weapons, which means that a Battle Rifle added by this mod might not necessarily be better than a standard assault rifle in some situations.

Additionally, thanks to the help from Kikochi (co-author of The Forsaken mod), several vanilla and modded projectiles have now been enhanced with new effects!





[forms.gle]






















































Q: Do these weapons spawn on enemies?
A: Yes, weapons have necessary tags to spawn on all the pawns in the game.

Q: Can I request a feature?
A: Yes, please use “Requests” discussion board.

Q: Why is your mod special?
A: I am a vanilla player. Anything that doesn't suit vanilla game makes me cringe and I stay away from it. I did however find the game lacking after some time, therefore I've created these weapons to be as accurate and as close to vanilla graphics style as possible. What is special? The best part is - nothing in this mod is special at all. Nothing will make you go "Oh that's unusual", because the whole purpose of this mod is to blend into the existing game.

Q: Is this mod save game compatible?
A: Yes, you can add it and remove it whenever you like. Bear in mind that if you add it to an existing save, you need to update all the stockpile settings to include these items.

Q: Do you accept commissions?
A: Yes, I do. Please find me on RimWorld discord which I will link in the Links section below. Name is OskarPotocki.

Q: Will you keep updating this mod?
A: Yes, but not often. I have worked hard and for a long time to make a list of weapons that I’d like to see added and I have added them. If some feature request catches my attention, I will add it.
