📋 About This Mod

There's a remade version of VAFS out there now by Itzal713 and it includes it's own Horizon patch.  I recommend using that over this and the original VAFS mod.

While that remade version has official support for VAFS I will not be maintaining this patch.  Thanks for all the downloads!

Unofficial patch for VaultTec Accelerated Focus System and Horizon.

I'm feeling pretty confident I've fixed most of the bugs and inconsistencies by now so I'm no longer considering this BETA.  That doesn't really change anything though.  If you find any bugs or inconsistencies please report via the bug tracking tab.  I only offer support for the latest version of VAFS and Horizon.  If you're using an older version of VAFS or Horizon I can offer no solutions to your bugs.

Update - 1/22/2019: Updated for Horizon 1. 7.  Buffed legendary AP cost reducing armor/weapon perks from 1. 7. Included a new beta esp that nerfs concentrated fire.

Update - 11/11/2018: Updated for Horizon 1. 6.  Nerfs to Marksman 4 and MacCready perk, updated experimentation lab icons, fixed a bug or two.

Update - 5/11/2018: Horizon 1. 5 changed quite a few perks and I also patched a few inconsistencies I hadn't noticed before.  Horizon's desolation mode touches jet chems to make them more addicting so that's all that's in the desolation patch.  I also added an optional file to re-enable random crits if you get the critical banker or better critical perks.

Update - 12/11/2017: Just like last time Horizon 1. 4. 1 didn't actually change anything but I finally got around to looking at the experimentation lab.  All mods effecting crit chance and vats accuracy should now have appropriate VAFS effects as well.

For the curious and observant, you may notice a new BA2 archive with this release.  I had to make a script in order to get the melee crit charge effect to work which is all that's in the BA2.

Update - 10/12/2017: Horizon 1. 3. 1 didn't actually change anything but I noticed some inconsistencies I went ahead and fixed anyways.  Mostly just forwarding Horizon's changes to the three legendary mods VAFS touches.

Update - 9/24/2017: Updated for Horizon 1. 2. 1.  There were a few perk changes, penetrator -> deadeye, sniper 3 changed slightly, and better criticals level requirements increased.

Update - 6/21/2017: I made my first pass at updating for Horizon 1. 1. 1 and it didn't look like there were any changes necessary.  I did find a few typos and I also added the DEF_UI perk tags but no other changes were made.  I haven't played with 1. 1. 1 yet though so there may be some balancing changes necessary to account for the new weapon system.
