📋 About This Mod

A brand-new custom small sword with new effects in blue, new dash behavior, and faster attack speed - fully configurable. How it plays depends on who wields it.

REQUIRES NAMS TO WORK!

If you load the mod without it the custom weapon slot and behavior changes won't be available.

→ GET NAMS HERE! ←

NAMS is the mod loader this runs on - it loads mods from its own folder and never touches your game files, so launching through Steam still gives you vanilla. Windows, Linux and macOS supported.

~ Description ~

A new sword - nothing vanilla is replaced or overwritten. It's just another weapon in your pocket.

Equip it on 9S and his dodge range extends beyond what a Scanner was ever supposed to be capable of.

Equip it on 2B and it feels wrong. It wasn't made for her.

~ Installation ~

Mod manager:

Drop the zip into the YP mod manager. Done.

Manual:

Extract the zip into your nams mods folder so the layout looks like:

NieRAutomata/

└── awakened_protocol/

├── mod.toml

├── data/                       // mounted by VFS

│   ├── misctex/

│   │   ├── misctex_wp0100.dat

│   │   ├── misctex_wp0100.dtt

│   │   ├── misctex_ws_5000.dat

│   │   └── misctex_ws_5000.dtt

│   └── wp/

│       ├── wp0100.dat

│       └── wp0100.dtt

└── entities/

└── weapon_1100.toml

Launch via the YP launcher or via command line (NAO launcher will be updated later). The weapon is sold by the weapon merchant in the Resistance Camp - buy it there to add it to your inventory.

To remove: delete the nams\mods\awakened_protocol\ folder. Nothing else needs to be cleaned up because no vanilla file was ever touched.

~ Requirements ~

  • []NieR:Automata (Steam, Windows)[/]

    []YoRHa Protocol or NAMS v2. 0. 8 or later - this mod will not load without it[/]
