📋 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.
