Can't shoot while holding your shield ? Have your companion do it:
Instructions for normal companions:
- Craft Bond Ring at Chem Station under Utility.
- Equip companion with Bond Ring.
- Press the TAKE COVER prompt when looking at the companion.
- Alternatively assign Hotkey in MCM.
- Press Hotkey to TAKE COVER.
Instructions for Power Armor companions:
- Craft Misc mod for Power Armor Torso at Power Armor Station.
- Equip companion with said Torso.
- Same as above.
Speed and Animation Mutiplier Slow:
- NPCs have different speeds depending on weapon types, whether they are walking or crouching etc.
- Adjust the MCM sliders to slow NPCs down to the appropriate playstyle.
- I reccomend setting the Power Armor Speed Slow to 20.
Notes:
- The mod works by fowarding the Player control to the NPC. The NPC will mirror anything the Player does.
- The speed of the Player and NPC will be different I reccomend only using the effect when walking or crouching.
- The NPC will still try to attack when able to. Enemies standing in melee range or within the NPC's cone of fire.
- The effect will automatically break when the Player is far enough from the NPC or the NPC has been downed.
- Mod added companions or any NPCs that can be made to wear the ring are compatible.
- Mod added Power Armor could work but can be janky. Tell the companion to get out and in of the Power Armor should fix it.
- Companions with special effects when using Power Armor could be janky as well.
- I'm working on the esl version, the mod can be place anywhere in the load order.
Special Notes:
- The NPC can be quite unruly so using Hotkey to move them the correct position is reccomended.
Requirement:
- Mod Configuration Menu by registrator2000 to set the Hotkey.
Mod Reccomendations:
- Shield Intergration Project by Ethnet for the Shields.
- Uneducated Shooter by jarari for the Leaning.
