📋 About This Mod
Sick of how blatantly outclassed automatic guns are by their semi-auto variants? This mod increases the multiplier on the Commando perk, effectively improving automatics without tweaking the guns themselves. This means this mod shouldn't interfere with any weapon rebalance mods you may have installed.
MODS: Better Commando: increases Commando perk multipliers from 20/40/60/80/100% to 30/60/90/120/150%. Best used with vanilla weaponry.
Better Commando Lite: a less exaggerated version of Better Commando, intended for use alongside weapon rebalance mods that already increase automatic damage. Increases Commando perk multipliers to 25/50/75/100/125%.
Better Miniguns: a side mod that considers Miniguns and Gatling Lasers to count as Automatic weaponry for the purpose of Better Commando multipliers. This is the 30% version of Better Commando. NOTE: Will not work with any mod that changes Miniguns or Gatling Lasers, or the Commando Perk.
Better Commando is a small perk mod for Fallout 4 that increases the damage multiplier of the Commando perk, making automatic weapons more viable. With 799 endorsements and nearly 20,000 downloads, it's a popular tweak for players who find automatic weapons underpowered. Last updated in 2015, it may require compatibility checks with current game versions.

✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 799 endorsements and nearly 20k downloads—clearly fills a need.
- Straightforward tweak: makes automatic weapons hit harder without overhauling the whole perk tree.

⚠️ Cons

For Fallout 4 players who love automatic weapons but feel they underperform compared to semi-autos. If you're tired of burning through ammo for weak damage, this mod gives your Commando perk a much-needed boost. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive perk overhaul or play mostly with non-automatic weapons.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod only changes the Commando perk, make sure you have that perk ranked up to see the full effect.
- If you use other perk overhaul mods, load Better Commando after them to ensure its changes take priority.
- Check the mod's comments section for any reported issues with current game versions, as it hasn't been updated since 2015.
