As the name suggests, the free-to-use Weapon Hotkey Icons utility for Fallout: New Vegas greatly enhances the gaming experience by introducing custom icons for every weapon in the hotkey. Since it’s just a texture file mod, it’s definitely easy to install.

See weapons icons clearer

The default hotkey visuals of Fallout: New Vegas show a small image of Vault Boy holding a weapon, often so tiny that it was difficult to make out the details. For a better visual experience, user ItsMeJesusHChrist has created the Weapon Hotkey Icons mod.

Once installed, this mod will enable the hotkeys to display only the weapon, presented in a large, clear fashion. This ensures the full weapon icon is visible without the distraction of Vault Boy obscuring parts of it. However, players may run into compatibility issues with other mods when using this.

Handy but may cause compatibility issues

Overall, the Weapon Hotkey Icons mod for Fallout: New Vegas is a valuable addition to the game, enhancing the player’s experience by providing clear, unobstructed icons for each weapon on the hotkey. However, it’s worth noting that this mod may potentially cause compatibility issues with other mods.
