📋 About This Mod
If you're high-level, or use a mod where NPCs level with you, Pain Train and impact landing get pretty useless. I've worked hard on this mod for about 2 days to help improve their use and effectiveness late-game.
Here's what this mod does:
-
[]Buffs the damage of Pain Train's shoulder bash (gets higher with perk rank)
[
]Buffs the damage of impact landing (gets higher with the last two ranks and with explosive vents)[]Makes it so enemies who die from being impact landed next to explode (this effect is purely visual but it's really cool)
[]Makes it so impact landing near friendly NPCs does not aggro them
[]Makes it so friendly NPCs are not effected by any effects of impact landing
[]Adds a 4th rank at level 65 to Pain Train where shoulder bashing or impact landing next to enemies below 50% health die instantly
Enemies exploding when dying from impact landing damage is something I discovered during development, and honestly it makes impact landing kills feel really badass. Having it happen only from kills makes it rare, so I made the 4th rank be the killer so it happens more often.
Overall, these changes should make Pain Train and impact landing maintain their effectiveness late-game.
This Fallout 4 mod buffs the Pain Train and Impact Landing perks to stay useful late-game, adding a new rank that allows instant kills under certain conditions. With 529 endorsements and 153,182 downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life improvement for melee and explosive builds.
