✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Small but dedicated following (17 endorsements) — niche mods like this often fly under the radar but hit hard for the right players.
- Fresh take on halberds: new abilities and damage tweaks can make polearms feel less samey.
- Lightweight addition — no bloat, just straight to the point for halberd enthusiasts.
⚠️ Cons
- Low endorsement count (17) means it's not widely tested — you might hit bugs or balance quirks.
- Only covers halberds — if you're not a polearm main, this mod does nothing for you.
For players who love halberds and want to spice up their moveset with new abilities and tweaked damage. Skip if you rarely touch polearms or prefer full weapon overhaul mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 — manual install is fine for single-file mods, but a manager helps with updates.
- Test the new abilities on a training dummy or low-level enemies to get a feel for the damage changes before heading into tough fights.
- If you're playing with other weapon mods, load order might matter — put Better Halberds after other overhauls to ensure its changes apply.
