Ive added a file that removes the extra shots/bonus to accuracy that VATS overdrive gives. That way you still can use VATS with the overdrive timer but it doesn't receive any bonuses. This means its not as powerful.
What is VATS overdrive? Its a setting you can enable in the Horizon settings to put VATS on a timer so it that it has limited use. When overdrive is ready, you get an extra volley of shots and a bonus to your VATS accuracy. This patch removes both the volley shots and accuracy bonus, that way it isnt quite as powerful. I wanted the perks to still have a point as well. This can be combined with any of the optional files.
Make sure to load these AFTER Horizon.
Note: This can be used without Horizon, but i created it to help balance VATS with Horizon.
There are two different optional files:
CLOSE RANGE VATS:
This is a mod that reduces the VATS engage distance considerably to help balance VATS with Horizon. I've reduced it from 5000 to 275. Slowtime has been changed from 4% to 16% and the player damage immunity has been completely removed.
Why did I make this?
Using VATS you are simply going to consume less resources and that can throw Horizon's balance off. I made a patch previously for VATS but I still felt it was "cheaty" for several reasons...and I did not want to disable VATS or not use it completely because I still think it can be useful in certain situations.
-I wanted to still have a use for the awareness perk to scan for enemy resistances. I don't find it too unrealistic that you might have to get in close for the pip boy to scan a target.
-I find melee clunky at times and VATS is still a option when targets are close. Lowering the engage distance also makes sure that VATS melee attacks cant target and hit enemies at a distance.
-Enemies can no longer be targeted from a distance, even when you cant see them. I find this can ruin the suspense and tension of exploration since you can constantly scout ahead.
-Mines can no longer be targeted from a distance...and unless you spam the button repeatedly you may never have a chance to detect them with VATS.
-There are two files for Close Range Vats. The optional version has an even closer engagement distance of 275.
TOUGER VATS:
-Changes the slowtime effect in VATS to 50%, it was 4%.
-Removes VATS damage reduction.
