📋 About This Mod
Esp and esl versions for 75% accuracy covering the DLCs has been uploaded.
After playing the game for a long time and being astonished by the amazing accuracy of even the most drugged out Raiders, and experimenting with playing without using VATS, I needed to level the playing field. I mean, seriously, these guys will shoot you from hundreds of feet away while you are both running, in the dark and in the middle of a rad storm like they are freaking Secret Service operatives.
I went through the NPC combat values in FO4 Edit and reduced the Ranged Accuracy Multiplier for enemy NPCs with .esp and .esl. versions available at values of 50% and 75% vanilla Fallout 4 accuracy; the bad guys won't be so miraculous with a gun anymore. I didn't change any other records and left melee alone.
All the named NPCs and bosses have also been left as is because, come on, these guys are the best for a reason.
Raiders, Gunners, BOS, Robots, Synths, Coursers, BOS & Raiders in and out of Power Armor (they had different values), Blood Bugs, Bloatflies.
I didn't want to do an across the board, flat value, but something that feels natural.
I play a heavily modded game with most of the common mods installed and there doesn't seem to be any issues. Has been cleaned and checked with FO4 Edit. May conflict with other mods overhauling accuracy.
Updated both esp and esl versions to include a couple of records I missed when creating the mod, now those damn Bloatflies aren't so accurate.
.esp and .esl versions covering FO4 + both Far Harbor & Nuka World are now available.
I haven't included Automatron as the combat style records seemed to be tied to the robot workbench models and I didn't want to mess with those. I believe the Raiders in Nuka World, Trappers, Hunters, & Ghouls in Far Harbor and Robots from Automatron get their combat scripting from the vanilla Fallout 4 records and the DLC records cover the new creatures.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 2,050 endorsements and 74,687 downloads—clearly a popular tweak.
- Does exactly what it says: halves enemy ranged accuracy, making firefights more forgiving.
- Zero-fuss install—just drop it in and play, no patches or compatibility headaches.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in May 2019—might not work with the latest game version, so test before relying on it.
- One-size-fits-all nerf: affects all NPCs equally, so some encounters might feel too easy.
- No config options—you can't adjust the multiplier to your liking, it's fixed at half.
For players who find enemy gunplay too punishing and want a more relaxed combat experience. Also great for those who prefer to focus on exploration or story without getting picked off from across the map. Skip if you want a challenge or need fine-tuned difficulty options.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod hasn't been updated since 2019, check if your game version is compatible—if you're on a newer patch, it might not work.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable this mod and test early to see if it affects your gameplay as expected.
- Pair this with other difficulty mods if you want a balanced experience—halving accuracy alone might make the game too easy.
