ProperMelee

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:
  
• Level 0–5 → 1 hit
• Level 6–10 → 2 hits
• Level 11–15 → 3 hits
• Level 16–20 → 4 hits

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.
