Better Melee is a small mod that addresses some melee bugs in Cyberpunk 2077 and provides some quality-of-life adjustments to improve the melee experience, particularly with the mantis blades.

All changes in Better Melee are optional. The download provides an installer that lets you choose which elements you want, and which ones you don't.

The list of changes are:

Melee Combos in Sandevistan

Previously, melee combos in sandevistan were non-functional. The stronger your sandevistan's time dilation, the more time you had to wait between melee attacks. Now you can do light melee combos as much as you want even when sandevistan is active.

This is because there is a hidden melee cooldown that's processed in game time instead of real time, so when your game time is slowed down, so is the cooldown. This mod addresses this by simply removing the cooldown - it doesn't seem to serve any purpose, as you already can't do another melee attack during the animation. I was unable to find any situation where the attack speed of a weapon changed after removing this cooldown, but I didn't test a whole lot of weapons so tell me if you find one.

Finishers Ending Sandevistan Early

In vanilla Cyberpunk 2077, any time you happen to kill an enemy with a melee finisher, your sandevistan ends early, completely devaluing it and often resulting in death. I couldn't really fix this by way of making the finishers not end it early, because the animations are synced - when I removed the "early end" effect, it resulted in a painfully slow animation carried out in slow-motion. Since that's no better than ending it, really, finishers have been completely disabled while either sandevistan or kerenzikov is active.

Mantis Blade Leap Targeting Problems

The mantis blades have a few issues when it comes to targeting:

[*]Minimum Leap Range

The minimum leap range was larger than the normal heavy attack range. This, for me at least, resulted in frequently trying to leap to a target, only to have my blades slash through thin air as the target backed away, resulting in another attempt to leap to close the distance until I eventually gave up and ran. The minimum leap range has been adjusted so that you will always be able to close distance with one attack (so long as you're within the norm
