Like a lot of other folks I was pretty disappointed by the Shishkebab. Despite being a unique weapon, its damage is very low and it's not very satisfying to use. There are a lot of other mods on here that change this weapon but this is my personal take on it.

This mod changes the mesh of the weapon to have a longer handle. It also changes it to use the two-handed melee weapon animations. These are much more dramatic and give the weapon a more powerful feel. FO4's one-handed melee animations aren't appealing to me, it seems like you should be doing something with your off-hand-- balancing with it like a fencer, grappling, using a makeshift shield, etc... instead it just flails about uselessly.

I also increased both the base damage and weight by 50%. The Shishkebab's strength is that it's very lightweight, and it remains so with this mod (up to 4.5lbs from 3lbs.) It's still outclassed damage wise by the Sledge and Super Sledge, but these weapons can easily be over 20lbs. This gives it a unique place in the the heirarchy of melee weapons, it's viable on it's own but better suited for a Survival run or as a backup weapon for a gun user.
