Since the game will mostly be played in first person view (FPV), this is an animatic of how it could look in-game to ready the weapon and load the first cartridge. This is mostly to help the animation team.

Animatic of how subsequent reloads after the first round could look in FPV. There are added steps in reloading due to the lack of an ejector mechanism in this makeshift weapon.

Concept design of the Zip Gun for Project Arroyo, a Fallout 4 total conversion fan mod that seeks to recreate the world of Fallout 2 using the Creation Engine. The Zip Gun is a handmade improvised firearm cobbled together from various bits of scrap found in the wasteland. Similar to Fallout 4’s pipe guns, but even less sophisticated. This Zip Gun design is based on cut content from Fallout 2.
