📋 About This Mod

Are you tired of missing those important targets?

Fed up of wasting ammo trying to hit those jerky cazadors or twerking fiends?

Miss no more with the Soft Lock™ Aim Assist™Module from (not) Vault-Tec!™

V1fuWnfVlFg

This mod adds a form of a soft target lockon/aim assist, when looking down sights.

Your aim is moved smoothly to the center of the target you're currently aiming near

for a short period of time, allowing you to pull off snapshots or track targets easier.

As featured in almost every shooter since the advent of controllers.

First of all, while intended for use with a controller, this mod also works with a mouse,

so if you feel like you've troubles with aiming and need just a bit of help - this mod might do.

This mod was made specifically for Hitman, and as such, all its functionality was made

to fit his playstyle. So there's a very real possibility this might not fit everyone's taste. And to

workaround that there's a config file where you can edit mod settings until aiming feels good

to you. Look for them in the "Data\Config\AimAssist.ini" file. First two values let you change

Horizontal and Vertical aim detection thresholds, and last one - to change how long your aim

is going to "stick" to the target. And that's pretty much it. I might add few more extra features

in the future, like aim offset, so you can track the target and still adjust the aim, but not now.

xNVSE version 6. 2. 9 or higher

JIP LN NVSE version 56. 78 or higher

JohnnyGuitar NVSE version 4. 93 or higher

Install all required mods first, then this one.

Uninstallation - do the same, but in reverse.

Bethesda, for extremely moddable engine

Obsidian, for Fallout New Vegas of course

Armed Forces of Ukraine, for keeping me alive and safe
