✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 444 endorsements and 8,425 downloads
- Adds satisfying choppy and stabby animations to make melee combat feel more visceral
- Covers all machete and bowie knife variants, so you get consistent animations across the board
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2022 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches or mods

For Fallout: New Vegas players who love melee builds and want more variety in their attack animations, especially if you frequently use machetes or bowie knives. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive melee animation overhaul or if you prefer ranged combat.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a kNVSE mod, make sure you have the New Vegas Script Extender (NVSE) installed and load the game through NVSE to avoid crashes.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install the mod through it to keep your load order clean and easily disable it if needed.
- Check the mod's file structure after download — if it contains loose files, place them in the Data folder manually; if it's a .fomod, use a mod manager for proper installation.
