📋 About This Mod
Description For whatever reason Fallout 4 prevents the player from performing sideways melee and power attacks while in third person unless the game detects you are in range of an enemy. This feels clunky in my opinion and makes it hard to maneuver around opponents in combat. This mod removes that restriction, allowing you to perform attacks at will.
Works for both melee and unarmed, and has been specifically made to affect the player only so it shouldn't cause any AI issues. Just drop it into your data folder and activate the esp.
Compatible with everything as far as I am aware, including animation replacers such as Tactical Animations.
