📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solves a real problem: no more scrambling to open inventory mid-fight when your weapon breaks.
  • Lightweight script mod—won't bloat your load order.
  • Recently updated (October 2025), so likely works with current game version.

⚠️ Cons

  • Niche use case—if you rarely find yourself unarmed, this mod won't matter much.
  • Only 86 endorsements, so it's not widely tested by the community.

💡 Beginner Tips
