📋 About This Mod

SAFE ANNIHILATION

The default behavior of these special Annihilator Rounds would cause an area effect (AOE) hazard when a target died from your particle weapon that applied a disease-like effect to anything nearby, including friendly or neutral targets. This effect would also trigger on critical hit kills with particle weapons even without Annihilator Rounds installed.

This mod changes that behavior to a single target effect, applying the same damage over time effect to the target hit by the shot only. Additionally, instead of triggering on target death from your particle weapon, this damage over time effect will instead trigger on the target when you crit. This makes it actually useful for damaging the current target.

You will still see particle effects when the DOT (damage over time) effect is active, however it will be different from the huge stationary explosion of the original and instead, appear as a shower of smaller particles following the target.

The text for Annihilator Rounds has also been changed to reflect these modifications:

"Banned by almost every government, critical hits by these rounds slowly and painfully disintegrate targets from within."

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Safe Annihilation is a simple gameplay mod for Starfield that alters Annihilator Rounds so they no longer draw aggro or bounty when used in crowds. It's for players who want to use explosive rounds without unintended consequences. With 47 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but functional tweak.

✨ Key Features

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Does exactly what it says: no more accidental bounty or aggro when using Annihilator Rounds in crowded areas
  • Small but active mod (47 endorsements, 7,945 downloads) – clearly some players wanted this
  • Recently updated (March 2025), so it's likely compatible with current game versions

⚠️ Cons

  • Very niche – only affects Annihilator Rounds, so if you don't use them, this mod does nothing for you
  • Low endorsement count (47) means it's not widely tested – you might run into edge cases
  • Potential compatibility risk with other mods that alter Annihilator Rounds or combat AI
🎯 Is This For You?
For Starfield players who love using Annihilator Rounds but hate accidentally turning entire settlements hostile. If you're a stealth or bounty-conscious player, this removes a major headache. Skip if you rarely use Annihilator Rounds or prefer more comprehensive combat overhauls.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have the correct version of the mod for your game – check the mod page for any version-specific notes.
