✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 599 endorsements and over 17k downloads
- Five unique butterfly knives give melee builds some stylish variety
- Vendor integration means you'll find them naturally while exploring
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012 — may have compatibility issues with modern mod setups
- No detailed stats or perks listed, so you'll have to discover the differences in-game
- Only five weapons — might not satisfy players looking for a larger melee overhaul
For New Vegas players who want a bit of flair in their melee arsenal without a huge overhaul. If you're a collector or roleplayer who enjoys hunting down unique weapons from vendors, this is a neat addition. Skip if you're looking for gameplay-changing melee mechanics or a massive weapon pack.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check vendor inventories in major settlements like Novac and Freeside — balisongs are spread around.
- Since the mod is from 2012, use a mod manager like Vortex or FOMM to avoid load order headaches.
- If you're playing with other weapon mods, load this one early to ensure vendor lists merge properly.
