📋 About This Mod

Cameras that auto-focus on faces are a consumer technology of the present, it seems absurd that in 2077 guided bullets would purposefully aim for center-of-mass

Improved target priority:

  • []Dedicated gamechanging weakspots (exoskeleton's shield control, Sasquatch regeneration gizmo,...)

    []Weakspots created by Relic Perk

    []Heads

    []Chests (if enabled)

    []Legs (if enabled)

    []Cameras/Drones

    Optional disable of Chest / Leg targets:

    With this options you can go so far as to only allow heads and dedicated weakspots (Sasquatch, mech suit, Perk revealed Vulnerabilities,...) to qualify as possible targets to lock on and track.

    This means that weapons that can lock on multiple targets won't waste bullets anymore, and will instead try to headshot multiple targets when applicable.

    This means that you can rely on the smart targeting and headshot from the hip.

    Optional NPC Tweaks:

    NPC smart weapons can have different projectile velocities and curvature angles, making dodging them more unpredictable than warranted.

    With this option you can normalize these enemy values.

    Skippy

    By default this mod won't influence Skippy at all, an option can be activated to have it remain lethal regardless of current quest status.
