📋 About This Mod

Important update! I just found a pretty big bug with this mod. Some hands will have 0 hit chance in VATS unless you have the penetrator perk. Manual shots will still work though. Looking for a fix currently.

Shoot hands to disarm enemies!
There will be a new body part for you to target in VATS, labelled the "Weapon Hand." Every weapon wielding enemy will have this on their right hand. It's a little harder to hit than their head, making it a prime candidate for critical usage, or multiple shots.

You can also hit their hands outside of VATS as demonstrated in the video. You'll need to either be a great shot, or be using a method to slow time, such as Jet or my VAFS mod as shown in the video. Note that this works for both left and right hands.

Enemies will be able to rearm themselves after being disarmed as with other disarm effects in game. You will be able to disarm them again if you need to.

VAFS - VaultTec Accelerated Focus System  Shown in the video, Manual Criticals and Bullet Time melded together Eating Off the Floor  Quality of life improvement
Compatibility:
For compatibility with Live Dismemberment, download the optional compatibility patch. In fact, if you just want LD for humans and supermutants, you can grab this and you don't even need LD.

For compatibility with Below the Belt, use the provided patch. It willadd the groin body part.

For both LD and BtB, use the combined patch proivided. Will combine the above two patches if you have both mods.

Load WeaponDisarm.esp afer LD and BtB. Load the patches after WeaponDisarm.esp.

This mod modifies body part data. This makes it incompatible with things like Better Locational Damage, Live Dismemberment, and Below the Belt without compatibility patches.
