Moon's Melee Rebalance

Requires Armor and Weapon Keywords Community Resource (AWKCR), Automitron, Far Harbor and Nuka World

There are a lot of great mods that make balance changes to guns for Fallout 4 but very little is done for melee weapons. This is my attempt to make them more interesting and dangerous for everyone. Melee and unarmed weapons have had their base damage increased significantly. Most of the DLC weapons had their damage reduced to fit their class and level they appear in the game. I made several adjustments to better fit specific weapons into their roles in the game.

Version 2. 0 Damage is increased even more and perks have been changed further (see changelog for details). NPC/robot/creature attacks have been increased as well. At this point melee feels much better outside of stealth and melee opponents feel like an actual threat. Even if your character doesn't use melee weapons, this will have a significant impact on gameplay. Do not ignore the super mutant with a sledgehammer.

and beyond make changes to Ninja and Blitz in the attempt to further balance melee weapons (see change log for details). I felt those two perks were the main culprits in making melee builds over powered and not very interesting.This will obviously not work with other mods that change melee weapons. since this requires AWKCR it will be compatible with mods that just use those keywords, like Valdacil's Item Sorting. I changed two companion weapons to match stat changes with the rest of the mod. If you use any companion overhauls you may want to load that after this depending on what that mod changes. If people find it causes problems I can remove those changes.

Weapon damage is increased significantly enough that melee weapons added by other mods will likely not be viable. I'm not going to make compatibility mods, but others are welcome to if they like.

Now that I've included my own Perk changes, this will conflict with other mods that change those perks. You can either use version 1. 0 of this mod or load this mod after any mod that alters perks to override their changes. Due to how these new perks work (especially Blitz) new weapons added by other mods will not get the effects. See change log for details.
