✨ Key Features
📊 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.
For players who hate the panic of being unarmed in combat and want a seamless auto-equip. If you're a melee or ranged build that breaks weapons often, this is a quality-of-life gem. Skip if you rarely switch weapons or prefer manual control.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest script extender installed, as Espless scripts often require it.
- Test the mod in a low-stakes fight first to see how it handles weapon switching.
- If you use a mod manager, install via that to keep track of updates.
