📋 About This Mod
OVERVIEW
Another feature inspired by a later Fallout game. In Fallout 76, once you hit 10 Perception, you can view enemy resistances inside V. A. T. S That feature doesn’t exist in New Vegas, so it’s time that changed.
This mod adds a new UI bar to the top of the screen while in V. A. T. S that shows your current target’s Radiation, Energy, Fire, and Poison resistances. Each resistance has its own icon and percentage value. The bar updates automatically as you scroll through targets, and while it matches your UI color by default, it’ll turn red when targeting an enemy, matching their health bar.
Just like in Fallout 76, the ability to view these resistances depends on your Perception level, but here it unlocks at 8 Perception. (Temporary perception boosts, for example from Mentats will count towards this number)
FEATURES
◆ Displays Radiation, Energy, Fire, and Poison resistances in V. A. T. S.
◆ Unlocks automatically when the player has at least 8 Perception.
◆ Bar color matches your UI and turns red when targeting enemies.
◆ Seamless UI integration, works with existing HUD setups.
◆ ESPless implementation, no plugin required.
FUTURE
Plans for future updates include support user adjustments for the resistances bar, support for additional resistances may also be added and alternative implementations will also be considered.
