📋 About This Mod
Crouch Mod for LE3 adds the ability to crouch, well-known from ME1 and ME2, to Mass Effect 3.
Crouching is assigned to a default keybind chosen in the installation options - with default available keys being Left Control, Left Alt, X, C, and V for keyboards and Left Stick Button / Right Stick Button for controllers.
The keybind is universal and works both as a hold, and as a toggle, depending on context:
- [] If you hold the button for over 200ms, hold mode is activated and crouch is disabled once you release it.
[
] On the other hand, a short press will trigger the toggle mode, where crouch will be disabled on next press of the crouch button.You can freely change the selected keyboards keybind, as well as add a button for a non-universal hold / toggle action, in the in-game settings menu. You can also optionally follow that article. Controller keybinds cannot be changed or added without re-installing the mod.

Only installation with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager is supported. Manual installation is not supported.
Multiple new console commands as well as a helper class are added to SFXGame.pcc file.
Your SFXGame.pcc file will be automatically edited by the Mod Manager.
If you want to uninstall the mod fully, you will need to restore your SFXGame.pcc file from a backup or by other means.
Optionally, you can disable the mod by removing its associated DLC folder in the "Manage target" section. This will not remove the injection, but will remove the bindings, making you unable to crouch anymore.
You can freely re-install your current version of the mod as many times as you want while selecting different install options - those are all stored in the associated DLC folder.
Crouch Mod for LE3 reintroduces the crouch mechanic from Mass Effect 1 and 2 into Mass Effect 3 Legendary Edition. It's a simple gameplay addition for players who miss the tactical option. With 205 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but active mod.
