✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix (358 endorsements) with a solid download count (78,118).
- Targets a specific broken mechanic that affects axe users, making it a must-have for melee builds.
- Simple bug fix that doesn't overhaul the game—just makes bleeding work as intended.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects axes, so players who don't use them won't see any benefit.
- May conflict with other mods that alter weapon damage or bleeding mechanics.
- Last updated in April 2025, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim patches or other mods.
For Skyrim players who use axes and are tired of bleeding damage being useless. If you're a melee-focused character, this fix makes battleaxes and war axes actually viable. Skip if you never touch axes or if you're happy with vanilla bleeding.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, just download and install—it's a simple plugin.
- Place this mod after any other mods that change weapon damage or perks in your load order to ensure it takes effect.
- Test with a battleaxe on a bandit to see the difference—bleeding should now tick for more damage.
