📋 About This Mod
This mod adds a simple perk, for stealthy players in mind. At level 4 the perk becomes available. You need to have a strength of 6, or a stealth of 50. Once the perk is yours, simply sneak up to any Non-Essential NPC. If you don\'t get detected, you can break their neck, killing them instantly. I imagine this would be useful playing a ninja-type player, but not wanting to use a bullet. Although you could probably just stab them, I feel this gives the game a little boost in variety. Also, what\'s not to like about breaking necks.
