A compact gameplay tweak that changes the damage type of secondary attacks for certain swords to piercing. With 80 endorsements and 1,247 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated mod for players who want more realistic or varied damage mechanics. Last updated in March 2021, so compatibility with newer game versions is unverified.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 80 endorsements and over 1,200 downloads, so it's got a small but solid following.
- Simple concept that adds a layer of tactical depth—piercing damage can bypass certain armor types.
- Tiny mod, easy to install and remove without messing up your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- No documentation on which swords are affected—you'll have to test in-game to see what changes.
- Last updated in 2021, so it might not work with the latest game patches or DLC.
- Only changes secondary attacks; if you wanted primary attacks changed too, this isn't for you.
For players who want a subtle combat tweak to make sword secondary attacks feel more distinct, especially if you're into realistic damage types. Skip if you're looking for a major overhaul or if you play with mods that already adjust damage types.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check your game version against the mod's last update (March 2021) to avoid compatibility issues.
- Test the mod on a few different swords to see which ones are affected, since the description doesn't list them.
- If you use a mod manager, install it through that to keep track of it easily.
