UPDATED FOR 3.8.0

Has been partially maintained by MusicManiac. Much appreciated.

Gives a chance for the weapons found in the weapon crates inside airdrops to be special editions with better stats.

By default they have higher fire-rate, better ergo, more durability, less recoil, and a cool background color. The exact numbers can be tweaked in the config file.

The list of weapons are the ones I personally felt fit, but you can add more if you'd like.

{
"blacklistFromAirdrop": true, //Will blacklist the recievers from randomly spawning in airdrops.
"addToQuests": true, //Adds the newly generated weapons to quests that require the original weapon.
"addToMasteries": true, //Adds the newly generated weapons to the mastery groups the original weapon belong to.
"replaceAllAirdrops": true, //Will make the airdrop weapon crates always contain a shiny weapon instead of any regular possibility.
"debug": false, //Displays a LOT of debug info, only enable if asked to. Or if you're just curious about stuff.
"allowSpecialSlots": true, //Enable/Disable weapon groups to be allowed in special slots. (Still needs enabling in the weapon group too)
//(might be needed to disabled for compatiblity with mods that adjust pockets)
"addRevolversIntoPistolCase": true, //adds pistols/revolvers into the pistol case.

"weaponGroups": //Each weapon group HAVE to have a unique name. Changing the weapon group name during a playthrough will
//generate new IDs for weapons and AT BEST will remove them from your inventory, and at WORST corrupt your save.

Probably works with mods that add new guns, but if they don't have a default preset it will crash.

I HIGHLY recommend adding the guns to blacklists of mods like ALP and other mods that adds weapons to PMCs.
