📋 About This Mod
Simply makes it so meltdown only works while in sneak mode.
Meltdown Fix is a small gameplay mod by Phoynix that restricts the Meltdown perk to function only while sneaking. With 50 endorsements and 921 downloads, it offers a simple tweak for players seeking more control over explosive effects. Last updated in 2012, it remains a niche option for stealth-focused builds.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gives stealth players more control over when explosions trigger.
- Tiny mod with no bloat—just the one change.
- 50 endorsements show it's been tested by the community.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the Meltdown perk, so it's useless if you don't use that perk.
- Old mod (2012) may not be compatible with newer game versions or DLC.
- No patch or update in over a decade—potential conflicts with other perk overhauls.
This is for stealth-oriented players who find the Meltdown perk's automatic explosions too disruptive. It's also for modders who want a simple, focused tweak without extra features. If you're a run-and-gun player, you won't get much out of it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Meltdown perk before expecting any effect.
- If you use other perk overhaul mods, load this after them to avoid conflicts.
- Test in a save with enemies nearby to see the sneak-only behavior in action.
