📋 About This Mod
Update: Patch 1. 4 screwed up the Mister Sandman perk. Download this fix mod to put it back the way it was.
In the base game, Ninja is set to use addition, while Cloak & Dagger and Mister Sandman use multiplication. This means that, depending on the order in which you have these perks, they may produce different end results in sneak attack damage. This is not a good thing, so I've set Ninja to multiply instead. They now all play nicely together. Final values are unchanged, the perk just uses multiplication rather than addition to get to them now.
Additionally, Ninja was very mixed on whether it applied to two-handed melee weapons. Sometimes it did, sometimes it didn't. It also never treated unarmed as melee. Now it applies to both equally, as these are not ranged weapons. Update: Version 1. 01 now also recognizes bashing attacks as melee.
Please let me know if you have any issues with the perk still, and load this mod after anything else that may edit the perk. Normal fix and no level requirement versions are both available.
Ninja fix is a small bug fix mod for Fallout 4 that adjusts the Ninja perk to work correctly with Cloak & Dagger and Mister Sandman, and expands melee recognition to include 2-handed, unarmed, and bashing attacks. With 1,344 endorsements and over 20,000 downloads, it's a community-approved tweak for stealth melee builds.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,344 endorsements and 20k+ downloads—clearly fills a need.
- Directly addresses a frustrating perk interaction that breaks stealth melee builds.
- Tiny mod, no bloat—just fixes what's broken.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016—may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC.
- Only affects the Ninja perk—if you don't use stealth melee, this mod does nothing for you.
For stealth melee players who rely on the Ninja perk and want it to work as intended with other perks. Also for anyone who uses 2-handed or unarmed weapons and wants sneak attack bonuses to apply. Skip if you're not into stealth or melee builds.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex, just download with the manager and enable it—no manual placement needed.
- Check your load order: place this mod after any mods that alter the Ninja perk to ensure it overwrites changes.
- Since it's an older mod, test it in a save before committing—make sure it works with your current game version.
