This doesn't seem to work... I've got 1 of every beam-tech tier in LWOTC Mod Jam but I just did a legendary reliquary box and selected Pistol and it gave me a conventional legendary pistol, instead of a Beam pistol.

Huh. Reloaded the save to try again with a Sniper Rifle and it did work with the Sniper. Though, the actual clip size, damage, etc. were not the same as LWOTC values (8-10 damage at "Beam" which is much lower.

I re-did a pistol box, and it (3-4 damage) actually was higher than Conventional, except unlike the Sniper Rifle it only upgraded to Magnetic, despite having a Beam pistol (and all other lwotc variants) in storage. Guess it's not picking it up.

Worked for Heavy Armor / W.A.R Suit too, and that one seemingly has the same stats as LWOTC's W.A.R Suit also... Hmm. I guess it works (except for the pistol giving me magnetic still??? Maybe some other weapon types are going to have this problem). But needs configs to make weapons match LWOTC. Or simply strip the upgrades and put them on real LWOTC weapons.

Only core problem (and this goes for B&T loot merge mod to make Grimy's work in mod-jam via making the mods drop as loot and do away with the lockboxes entirely) is that any armour mods attached to armour, gets deleted and vanish when unequipping the armour. Must manually remove the mod every time - this doesn't seem to apply for weapons though. I had a sidearm holster on a pistol for a long time.

I also had the problem with losing the Upgrades when I unequipped stuff, you can prevent that afaik by giving the items with Upgrades differing Names so they don´t get pulled into the common pool after unequipping.

This method works for LWOTC except that the mod seems to only define the tier 1 weapons and assumes mag and plasma upgrades for them based on the tier 1 weapons. So it doesn't work for laser and presumably ♥♥♥♥. I can confirm that it definitely gives mag weapons from lootboxes but definitely does not give laser weapons from them. Haven't gotten to ♥♥♥♥ yet with this mod active.
