Introduction

Weapons finally feel like they have real weight.

Fallout 4's aiming has always been perfectly stable. Whether you're holding a lightweight pistol or a heavy sniper rifle, your weapon remains almost perfectly still as long as you keep aiming.

Steady Hands introduces a realistic weapon sway and aim fatigue system that makes every firearm feel unique.

Weapon stability now depends on your remaining Action Points, weapon weight, Strength, and sustained fire. Heavy weapons become increasingly difficult to keep on target, while lighter firearms remain easier to control.

Every weapon now has its own character.

Long aiming sessions become a tactical decision.

Controlled fire is rewarded over endless spraying.

Instead of adding random inaccuracy, Steady Hands simulates physical fatigue. As your Action Points become depleted, weapon sway gradually increases until you recover, creating a more immersive and believable shooting experience.
