📋 About This Mod
Hi, after years in this community, I want to tell you something:
1) Modders do work voluntarily and for free for you, so they probably deserve a little respect.
2) "Please" and "thanks" are magic words. "Endorse" is a clickable button.
3) When you treat modders like your servants and just keep asking for something, you only get the modders to stop publishing their work (as many good modders have already done) and you don't get anything.
4) And please check if the mod description confirms to be compatible to your game version, whether it's Classic 1. 32 or Next Gen 4. 04. Modders don't have time and resource to support both version.
I was inspired by Stronger Crossbow Bolts (but even 500x more damage was not enough for me) and by Sell This F Bolts.
I added witcher quality so bolts don't disturb in inventory when I use items from witcher set.
Installation:
Put modBoltsThatKill to mods folder.
If something goes wrong, give my mod higher priority or merge it for avoid mod limit.
Recommended mods (Classic 1. 32):
Bossbow (makes crossbow usable and funny)
Gwent Overhaul (best card game mod)
Phoenix Lighting Mod (it's just amazing)
Saldax ReShade (best reshade for PLM)

✨ Key Features

✅ Pros
- One-shot everything, from sirens to drowners, just like real life.
- Simple and effective—no complex mechanics, just pure power.
- Community-approved with 557 endorsements and over 7,400 downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Makes the crossbow completely overpowered, removing any challenge.
