📋 About This Mod
About this mod:
F4SE plugin that fixes a bug which causes companions to shoot at the player during or shortly after combat.
About the vanilla bug: when the player enters "Command Mode" with a companion during combat or a combat has been just ended, the companion's "AI target" becomes the player (e.g. they face toward the player, they may say a response or combat line and so on). If the their AI has already been queued for "fire with equipped weapon" event, they may shoot at the player during this time.
Vanilla bug:
Companion shooting at the player during combat
Compatibility:
Should be compatible with anything.
Requirements:
Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 2,482 endorsements and over 219k downloads — clearly a must-have for many.
- Directly addresses a frustrating bug that can ruin combat immersion.
- Lightweight F4SE plugin — no heavy scripts or textures, just a clean fix.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires F4SE, so you'll need to install that first if you haven't already.
- Only fixes the shooting bug — doesn't address other companion AI quirks.
- Last updated in May 2026, but no guarantee it works with future game updates.
For Fallout 4 players who are tired of their companions turning on them mid-firefight. If you rely on companions like Dogmeat or Piper and hate friendly fire incidents, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you don't use companions or prefer gameplay overhauls.
