Ninjoma's Useful Weapon Compendium (N.U.W.C.) rebalances weapon types by increasing die size, adding weapon actions, and/or granting the finesse property to weaker weapons, making more weapons viable. With 62 endorsements and 1,635 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated tweak for players seeking build variety.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple, focused balance pass that targets underused weapon types.
- Decent community traction for a niche mod (62 endorsements, 1,635 downloads).
- Adds meaningful variety without overhauling the whole combat system.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 62 endorsements—small user base, so less community testing.
- Last updated July 2025, but no version info—may not match your game version.
- Potential conflicts with other weapon balance mods that alter the same properties.
For players who want to make off-meta weapons like daggers or clubs feel viable without a full combat overhaul. If you're a min-maxer who sticks to the best weapons, this might not change your playstyle. Skip if you prefer vanilla balance or use other weapon mods that might clash.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check your game version against the mod's last update date to avoid compatibility issues.
- If you use other weapon balance mods, load this one last to ensure its changes apply.
- Test a few different weapon types in combat to see which ones benefit most from the new properties.
