📋 About This Mod
The 25% VATS accuracy increase is alright but it's often a waste of perk point. This mod adds a 15% damage increase to make it more worthwhile.
Keep in mind that besides pistols, it also affects the 9mm and 10mm SMGs (not 12. 7 mm) and the sawed-off shotgun.
This mod tweaks the Gunslinger perk in Fallout 4, adding a 15% damage bonus to pistol-grip weapons while keeping the existing 25% VATS accuracy increase. It's a simple, focused improvement for players who want more punch from their pistols.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Makes pistol builds more viable in combat (187 endorsements).
- Straightforward tweak—no bloat, just a clean damage boost.
- Works with the existing perk, so no need to rebalance your build.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects pistol-grip weapons—rifles and heavy guns get nothing.
- No compatibility notes provided; may conflict with other perk overhaul mods.
- Last updated in 2017, so it might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
For Fallout 4 players who love pistol builds and want a bit more punch without overhauling the whole perk system. If you're a gunslinger roleplayer or just want to make your sidearm hit harder, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay changes or play with heavy perk overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod file in your Data folder or use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager to avoid conflicts.
- If you use other perk mods, load this one after them to ensure the damage bonus applies.
- Test with a pistol in VATS to confirm both the damage and accuracy bonuses are active.
