📋 About This Mod
Overview
Due to their brutal initiation rituals, Great Khans are extremely tough. Don't expect them to go down easily.You might've noticed this tip in the loading screen. Of course, I actually encountered and fought the Khans, I noticed they still die easily within a few 9mm SMG shots, since they had the same health as an average human NPC and their armor doesn't offer a lot of protection. Misleading, ain't it? And I thought the Khans were a bunch of hardasses around for a long, long time on the West, the ritual would've done them some good on their endurance by now.
This mod increases the health of the Great Khans and also gives them the Toughness perk so they actually take a lot more punishment to kill than your average human with light armor. I'm also aware there's a mod like this, but it's missing unique NPCs such as Jack and Regis.
A small balance mod for Fallout: New Vegas that increases the Great Khans' toughness to match the loading screen tip. With 290 endorsements and 17,149 downloads, it's a niche fix for players who find the Khans too weak. Last updated in 2021.
