📋 About This Mod
Bolt shots from tech weapons have a reduced penalty for penetrating cover, yet if you've ever tried to shoot someone through a wall with a bolt shot you know that it doesn't matter, since bolt shots don't (usually) go through cover. This is because bolt shots do not bypass the requirement of a certain charge level (90%) for a tech weapon to pierce cover. This can be remedied through the use of a high level C-Thru weapon mod (partially, you'd need 2 for full coverage if you have Internal Clock (perk)) or developing the superhuman reflexes needed to land both within the bolt window and above the pierce threshold (i.e. exactly 90% and no more and no less). It seems very counter-intuitive for a bonus that is already reliant on multiple conditions and serves as a "perfect timing" mechanic to be further reliant on weapon mods to actually do the thing.
With this mod all bolt shots properly penetrate cover.

Additional fixes:
- Fix JKE-X2 Kenshin not being able to fire bolt shots at below 90% charge (so all of them, it couldn't do it before)
- Same as above, but for Ambition (iconic Kenshin variant)
- Fix Tsunami Nekomata and it variants failing to fire proper bolts shots similar to above. Should now penetrate as intended.
I would recommend using this alongisde Bolt Shot FX Reset Fix for the fully functional bolt shot experience.

✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 673 endorsements and over 600k downloads.
- Simple, focused change that adds tactical depth without bloat.
- Still updated as of January 2026, so it's likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- No detailed description—what counts as 'cover' isn't specified, so expect some trial and error.
- Only affects bolt-action shots; other weapons remain unchanged, which might feel inconsistent.

For players who want to reward aggressive sniping and punish campers hiding behind walls. If you're a bolt-action enthusiast looking for a subtle but impactful gameplay shift, this is for you. Skip if you prefer vanilla balance or don't use bolt-action rifles often.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Test in a custom match to see which materials are penetrable—wood, metal, and concrete may behave differently.
- Pair with a sound mod to hear the impact through cover, making it easier to confirm hits.
- Remember that this mod only affects bolt-action shots, so adjust your playstyle accordingly.
