📋 About This Mod
ATTENTION: PLEASE READ USAGE AND UNEXEPCTED FEATURE PRIOR TO USING THIS MOD. IT HAS IMPORTANT INFO
(Watch for it on Bethnet when it gets stolen!!!)
I don't usually open with credits. But a handful of modders donated their time and skills (knowingly or not) to this mod and asked nothing in return. Their contributions turned this mod from a novelty where you could throw weapons at a target in your settlement to something tactically useful in combat situations.
SsmB_92 of Spawn Engine (will replace War of the Commonwealth) for the slo-mo aiming time script. His patience for my scripting stupidity is the stuff of legend.
Thirdstorm of UniqueNPCs and Creatures and Monsters for balancing the stats for gameplay. He put in keywords so your one and two handed melee perks add to the damage of these weapons. He also helped with the plugin as well as doing parts of it entirely by himself, like the Pulse Field Harpoon. Yes, I said Pulse Field Harpoon, awesome!
CptCOOTS of Sim Settlement team fame for the script that puts a copy of the weapon in the inventory of hit NPCs. It is because of him you can go get your stuff back from that dead raider whose head you turned into a dug out canoe.
Scrivener07 of Scope and Overlay framework for coding the animated targeting overlay on such short notice for a complete stranger (me).
Niero whose mods you all know for permissions to use the animated tumbling motion from CROSS Blades. The Bethesda cut content one was awful. Seeing his blades tumble in the air renewed my own interest in my twice-abandoned quest for working throwing weapons in FO4.
Damanding for her array of workshop targets. Now your settlement can have a manly hipster axe throwing area!
The mod made #1 on hotfiles, even without boobs (which is plain amazing given this place). Thank you to all who hit that Endorse button!!!!!

and cover an NPC in goo. We're working on getting the effect happening when statics are hit as well.)
What this is:
I always wanted throwing weapons in FO4. Bethesda left incomplete attempts at throwing weapons buried in the Far Harbor archive files - clearly at one time they were in the works. There's eve
