✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 136 endorsements and over 14k downloads—players are digging it.
- Makes Va'ruun Zealots actually feel like the suicidal fanatics they're supposed to be.
- Lightweight gameplay tweak that doesn't overhaul the whole game, just the Zealots.
⚠️ Cons
- No detailed patch notes or feature list—you're going in blind on what exactly changes.
- Only affects Va'ruun Zealots, so if you wanted broader AI improvements, this isn't it.
- Last updated in April 2025—might not be compatible with future Starfield patches.
For Starfield players who find Va'ruun Zealots too easy or predictable and want a more challenging, lore-accurate fight. Skip if you're looking for a full AI overhaul or don't care about enemy behavior.
