📋 About This Mod
Hello!
Welcome to Melee Weapons Revised, part of the 'Starfield Revised' Series. Which aims to bring balance to our gameplay across the settled systems.
What does this mod do?
This mod aims to rebalance melee weapons by placing them into 2 categories. Low damage, high critical and high damage, low critical.
one set for stealth, one set for brawling.
As is the case of all my mods, they are balanced so you can use what you want, when you want! The Va'ruun painblade is no longer the king of melee!
All weapons will be found from level 1, with better tiers found at 20, 35 and 50.
What are the new stats?
Well, well. rather than me waffle about the stats, how about you have a SPREADSHEET instead? I LOVE spreadsheets
Something doesn't feel right...
Not everything is going to be perfect, although I'm pretty thorough , I'm going to miss stuff!
If you feel something is clearly not right and not intended in the mod, put it in the BUGS tab
If you think something might be overpowered, underpowered or just have some suggestions. Put it in the COMMENTS! I usually respond pretty quickly because I have no life.
Get it on creations here!
