Tactical Gameplay Modifications - ESPLess

This mod standardizes the health of the player and NPCs as well as the damage of firearms (now based entirely on the caliber they use), adds bleeding effects corresponding to the weapon that causes them and custom resistances to limbs, armor and helmets.

Four 10mm shots in the torso should be enough to kill any unarmored raider, one in the head is usually a death sentence, also for you.

(But not to use along with, they will work strangely with my mod or replace its functions)

  • []B42 True Leaning - Contextual (Belive me, you will need this one)

    []Cover Based Stealth Mechanics (Marvellous with this mod and a general must have)

    []Awesome Staggering (When you shoot them in the feet and watch them fall, you'll be grateful)

    []Dynamic Weapon Spread 2. 0

    []Inmersive Recoil NPC

    []NPCs use Aid items

    []Humanize-Brutalize

  • Split Head and Body DT/DR inventory UI

    Adjusts firearm damage to a specific amount given by the caliber of bullet you use — unlike Caliber Based Damage or Realistic Weapon Damages, the damage your firearms have is completely independent of their condition (If are very broken or in good condition) and your character's abilities (Guns, Big Guns).

    Adds bleeding effect (optional) to armor-penetrating attacks, including two modes you can choose from: slow-passive bleeding, or fast-aggressive bleeding. Additionally, bleeding enemies will leave trails of blood wherever they walk.

    This along with the option to stem the bleeding through aid items that restore limb condition (such as stimpaks, super-stimpaks, doctor bags, hydra and others), this feature is compatible with any mod that adds items of that kind.

    Adjusts the health of all NPCs and all limb damage multipliers. Being that it is very difficult to kill someone by shooting only their legs or arms (although they will tend to bleed to death), while a couple of shots to the chest or a shot to the head are usually enough to annihilate any human without the appropriate armor.

    Besides this, cripple arms and legs is much easier, use it to your advantage.
