📋 About This Mod

Frustrated that the bullet deflection from blades only works on attacks happening in front of you?

This mod makes it so all attacks from all directions are blocked regardless if you're looking at them or not.

Pair this up with mods that remove stamina costs for bullet deflection/general katana handling, or any mod that trivializes the stamina bar, and you're practically a

cyber Jedi.

This works for melee weapons that make use of the blade perks in Reflexes (this includes mantis blades). Any other kind of melee weapon such as blunt weapons, I did not test.

Installation: Extract zip contents to Cyberpunk 2077 game directory.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod removes the directional restriction on blade deflection in Cyberpunk 2077, allowing all attacks from any direction to be blocked, even if you're not facing them. It's a simple fix for players frustrated by the vanilla mechanic.

✨ Key Features

Allows bullet deflection from blades to work on attacks from all directions, not just frontal ones.
Removes the need to face attackers for melee blocks to trigger.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

⚠️ Cons

🎯 Is This For You?
For Cyberpunk 2077 players who rely on blade deflection and hate getting hit from behind. If you want a more forgiving combat experience without changing other mechanics, this is for you. Skip if you prefer the challenge of managing your positioning.
