Xander's Aid is for the investigative kind. READ EVERY TERMINAL. Each terminal will help you through the quests and fill you in with the story. Also it is important that you turn on Subtitles for the quests Three For All and Scout's Hunt.
I went overboard on this one. This was originally intended to be a fun way to get the Firelance but instead this mod adds many quests and new weapons. Also all weapons that use a new ammo has ammo that can be crafted at the chemistry station under XANDERS AID. The weapons are also customizable at a weapon workbench.
When you complete the main story, Xander will become available to you as a companion. He is voiced and all that.
Recommended to have a character of at least level 25ish for this mod. This mod is also survival friendly but recommend at least level 30 before trying out the mod. Best to be installed for a new character.

Installs like any other mod. No DLC or Mod requirements. Having DLC can benefit the mod though. Install with NMM/Vortex or enable through the Mods menu in Fallout 4.
