The Player can now take cover behind companions more suited to tank incoming fire.

Can't shoot while holding your shield ? Have your companion do it:

Instructions for normal companions:

• []Craft Bond Ring at Chem Station under Utility.

  []Equip companion with Bond Ring.

  []Press the TAKE COVER prompt when looking at the companion.

  []Alternatively assign Hotkey in MCM.

  []Press Hotkey to TAKE COVER.

  Instructions for Power Armor companions:

  • []Craft Misc mod for Power Armor Torso at Power Armor Station.

    []Equip companion with said Torso.

    []Same as above.

    Speed and Animation Mutiplier Slow:

    • []NPCs have different speeds depending on weapon types, whether they are walking or crouching etc.

      []Adjust the MCM sliders to slow NPCs down to the appropriate playstyle.

      []I reccomend setting the Power Armor Speed Slow to 20.

      • []The mod works by fowarding the Player control to the NPC. The NPC will mirror anything the Player does.

        []The speed of the Player and NPC will be different I reccomend only using the effect when walking or crouching.

        []The NPC will still try to attack when able to. Enemies standing in melee range or within the NPC's cone of fire.

        []The effect will automatically break when the Player is far enough from the NPC or the NPC has been downed.

        []Mod added companions or any NPCs that can be made to wear the ring are compatible.

        []Mod added Power Armor could work but can be janky. Tell the companion to get out and in of the Power Armor should fix it.

        []Companions with special effects when using Power Armor could be janky as well.

        []I'm working on the esl version, the mod can be place anywhere in the load order.

        Special Notes:

        • []The NPC can be quite unruly so using Hotkey to move them the correct position is reccomended.

          Requirement:

          • []Mod Configuration Menu by registrator2000 to set the Hotkey.

            Mod Reccomendations:

            • []Shield Intergration Project by Ethnet for the Shields.

              []Uneducated Shooter by jarari for the Leaning.
