📋 About This Mod
Just drag and drop into your BepInNex Plugins folder.
No Legacy neither SML Helper version
You can set individual multipliers for the Knife and the Thermoblade, both damage and distance.
You can also set a damage multiplier for the Prawn Drill Arm, but it does not work on drillable ore deposits because they have a custom code to damage them, i'll investigate it in the future.
There's a optinal file which affects the Ancient Sword Mod, with it's own configuration file, you can use only it if you want, but to use the other features you should download both files.
I could not find a mod that did that specifically so i did one myself.

Melee Damage Multipliers
Melee Damage Multipliers is a compact gameplay mod for Subnautica that lets you adjust the damage and reach of your knives, plus a separate multiplier for the Prawn Suit Drill. With 21 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche tool for players wanting to tweak melee combat balance.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny mod that does exactly what it says—no bloat, just damage and reach tweaks.
- Prawn Suit Drill multiplier is a nice touch for those who want to mine faster.
- Fresh update (Sept 2025) means it's likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 21 endorsements—this is a niche mod, so don't expect a huge community behind it.
- Limited scope: only affects knives and the drill, so if you wanted broader melee changes, this isn't it.
For Subnautica players who feel the base knife is too weak or too short and want to fine-tune combat to their liking. Also for Prawn Suit users who want to speed up drilling. Skip if you're looking for overhaul-level combat changes—this is a simple tweak mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod likely uses a config file, check the mod's folder after installation to adjust the multiplier values to your preference.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, enable the mod and make sure it's deployed before launching the game.
- Test the knife reach in a safe area first—too high a multiplier might make combat trivial.
