Have you ever tried to turn your pawn into a cybernetic killing machine, stuffing them with every possible combat implant—only to be disappointed when a Neanderthal with the plasteel spear outperforms them?
This mod is here to fix that injustice!
What the mod does:
- It completely reworks melee mechanics, allowing multiple sources of damage to trigger during a single attack.
- Primary Attack Priority: The weapon with the highest damage always takes priority as the main strike.
- Secondary Sources: Combat implants, off-hand or weaker weapons, and unarmed attacks (fists, headbutts, bites) each have a 10% chance to deal extra damage alongside the main hit.
- Skill-Based Hit Cap: The maximum number of hits per attack scales with the pawn’s Melee skill:
[list]
- Level 0–5 → 1 hit
- Level 6–10 → 2 hits
- Level 11–15 → 3 hits
- Level 16–20 → 4 hits
[/list]
Note — “Hits”, not swings:
Even at level 0, if the pawn misses the main strike, secondary sources still get a chance to land.
This system makes melee combat more consistent and ensures that combat implants provide a real advantage in battle.
