📋 About This Mod
VERSION 2. 0 AVAILABLE !
The version 2. 0 add two new .esp (one in french, one in english, pick the one you need).
This version is a variant of the previous one (who is still available) who reduce the damage multiplier:
--> Humans and ghouls take 6 times damage instead of 100 times.
--> Super-mutants take 4 times damage instead of 100.
--> Power armor fusion cores take 5 times damage instead of 100.
Installation: pick the damage multiplier you want on the site, and install the .esp; click yes when asked to replace, that's all (if you already had the first version, if not, simply install the file and it's done).
It is NOT an update ! It is only a variant.
This mod makes your headshot deal 100 times more damage, the concerned foes are:
--> Humans (including you, even if i'm not really sure of that)
--> Ghouls, including feral and glowing.
--> Super-mutants (excluding Behemot, because it would be too easy)
--> Power armor fusion cores, because shooting on a mini-NUCLEAR device that is not even protected should
make it explode !
(French/français)
Ce mod vous permet d'infliger 100 fois plus de dégâts en tirant dans la tête de certains ennemis, plus
précisément:
--> Les humains (vous-y compris, même si je ne suis pas encore tout à fait certain de ça)
--> Les goules, incluant les goules sauvages et les luminescents.
--> Les super-mutants, sauf les Behemots, parce que ce serait bien trop facile sinon.
--> Les réacteurs sur les armures assistées; parce que sérieusement, tirer sur un dispositif nucléaire
qui n'est même pas protégé, ça devrait le faire exploser direct.
