📋 About This Mod
Charge at NPCs
The mod is completely written from scratch and now works very differently compared to old version.
Pull out your knife or any bladed weapon and hold melee button. This will start the charging animation alongside a lunge cry from the player.
While charging get close to any NPCs and you'll stab them in the chest.
If the NPC has a pistol or a rifle, they have a chance of blocking your charge attack.
