📋 About This Mod
This is a standalone Locational Damage Mod. There are several alternatives out there, but this one is mine.
Locational Damage Improvements does a few things
-
[]Doubles headshot damage multiplier slightly removed in V2
[
]On Humans and Super Mutants, this headshot increase is canceled out if the NPC is wearing a helmet (this functionality unfortunatly doesn't recognize headshots in VATS, due to hardcoded engine limitations) removed in V2[]Ghouls take less body damage
[]Robots are dismemberable, and take significantly less limb and head damage (Based on a heavily modified version of Better Robot Locational Damage)
[]Headless robots take a massive accuracy penalty
[]All Super mutants are dismemberable
- Reduced sneak attack multiplier to 1x (stealth is OP already because of the defensive value of killing your enemies before they have a chance to do anything. It doesn't need to deal double damage).
V2 is now available, which is a rebuild of the mod designed to work alongside Direct Hit. Primarily it reduces headshot modifiers (because stacking a 4x headshot damage AND bypassing most of the NPCs armor is pretty unbalanced)
