Someone Added Guns To A Classic Elder Scrolls For Some Reason
Daggerfall is an iconic piece of video game history. The Elder Scrolls 2 paved the way for Bethesda's future offerings, including Morrowind, Oblivion, and of course, Skyrim. And now, you can experience the fantasy world of Tamriel through the barrel of a gun.
The Future Shock Weapons mod, courtesy of numidium3rd, does something very interesting. It takes the weapons from another Bethesda game and ports them into the Daggerfall Unity remake. That Bethesda game is The Terminator: Future Shock, a Doom-style first-person shooter from 1995 where you play as a human fighting for the resistance against armies of robots. Your boomer shooter arsenal includes such weapons as an Uzi, M16, shotgun, laser rifle, heavy laser rifle, plasma rifle, grenade launcher, and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. None of these weapons are even remotely appropriate for Daggerfall's fantasy setting, but that's what makes this mod so much fun.

Future Shock Weapons just adds the guns, but it doesn't add a gun skill. Instead, adventurers will have to level up archery to make sure their bullets and laser blasts deal maximum damage. You might notice that the non-hitscan weapons still shoot arrows instead of plasma blasts and rockets--that's because numidium3rd still hasn't been able to reverse-engineer Future Shock's 3D model format and is "stuck" using arrows as placeholders.
Check Daggerfall's loot piles or store inventories for these weapons. They'll all use the same "firearm" item template but will be different depending on the material. The higher the material level, the more powerful the gun will be.
You'll need both Daggerfall Unity as well as The Terminator: Future
