📋 About This Mod
This mod is no longer maintained as it affects game balance. Use my new mod Additive Hit Reactions instead.
Description
Makes combat feel more fluid, enemies will react more to getting shot or hit, making them feel less like a bullet sponge and in turns makes combat more satisfying. Pretty much an essential improvement to the games' weak combat system. Player can now also react to getting shot.

Compatibility
This mod replaces no assets and only adds scripts. Fully compatible with MadAce's Ragdolls (which has also has a hit reaction feature that does something completely different). It should be compatible with almost everything, including any expansion mods such as TTW and Fallout: New California. Additionally this mod has been specifically made compatible with Live Dismemberment. You can install, update and uninstall it at any time during your game.
