📋 About This Mod

A high quality overhaul for a majority of melee weapons in Fallout 3.

Big shoutout to Nickheggo who supplied a fair amount of the assets featured here, you can find VWR here and Concrete Sledgehammer. Some of the meshes and textures were made by me but there's various other authors featured here! If I missed anyone in the credits let me know.

- So what's in the mod? -

- I updated the models and/or textures for a majority of melee weapons in Fallout 3, I also increased their base damage and gave bladed weapons a "bleeding" effect. Melee weapons have always been a bit lackluster so I wanted to make them more viable. Not every melee weapon has been edited so here's a list of what's been changed:

- Baseball Bat

- Combat Knife

- Tire Iron

- Lead Pipe (Raider Hatchet)

- Shishkebab

- Sledgehammer

- Super Sledge

- Slasher Knife

- Chinese Officer's Sword

- Charon's Knife (Unique Combat Knife)

- Clover's Cleaver (Unique Raider Hatchet)

- Vampire's Edge (Textures are kept default, stats increased)

- Highwayman's Friend (Crowbar)

- Nail Board (Concrete Sledge)

- Board of Education (Brutal Sledge)

- Stabhappy (Machete)

- Occam's Razor (Unique Machete)

What was left unchanged:

- Police Baton

- Switchblade

- Butch's Toothpick

- Brass Knuckles

- Power Fist

- Repellent Stick XD

- Excalibat

- Curse Breaker

- Rolling Pin

- Deathclaw Gauntlet

- Jericho's Nail Board

- Samurai Sword (Zeta)

- Shock Baton (Zeta)

- Shovel (Point Lookout)

- Axe (Point Lookout)

- Auto Axe (The Pitt)

- The biggest change is that the Nail Board was replaced with the Concrete Sledge, this way Super Mutants will naturally use it instead of me tweaking their files specifically. I've included a few custom pipboy icons for some of the weapons, the concrete sledge is a copy I made of the NV icon. I'd like to potentially update this mod with more in the future but no guarantees.

- Nickheggo: VWR and Concrete Sledgehammer mods.

- id2301: Super sledge model and retexture

- Hexrowe: Chinese sword texture
