Presenting the Blitz Perk from Fallout 4, recreated for Fallout: New Vegas!
This is my first mod, which I created entirely from in-game assets using the GECK.

OVERVIEW:

For those of you who've never played Fallout 4, Blitz is a perk mod which allows you to do Unarmed or Melee Attacks in VATS from a distance. In other words, letting you more or less teleport in VATS when you do unarmed or melee attacks. This perk does not exist in Vanilla New Vegas. With this mod, you will be able to add the ability to your build by leveling up.

This mod comes in two versions. The first is a lite version with only one rank that, in my opinion, is more overall attuned to the balance of Fallout New Vegas. The second is a beefier version with slightly different requirements and a slightly better attack range that comes in two ranks, reminiscent of Fallout 4.

The level-up requirements for Blitz (New Vegas Version) are as follows:
  • You must be Level 28
  • You must have at least 90 in either Melee Weapons or Unarmed.

The level-up requirements for Blitz (Fallout 4 Version) are as follows:
  • You must be Level 28
  • You must have an Agility of at least 8

For the Fallout 4 version: The first rank will GREATLY increase your maximum distance for a VATS Unarmed/Melee Attack. The second rank will not only increase this limit again, (x1.5) but you will also receive a bonus of up to 25% damage depending on how much distance there is between you and your target. The more distance, the more damage.

This perk will turn any Unarmed/Melee Build into a true power fantasy. If you've ever wanted to truly be a ninja or a blindingly fast warrior in New Vegas, then this perk is for you!

NOTE: You will not be able to just zip across the map the minute you get into VATS range of an enemy. Within the game's files, the range of VATS is measured by a value that scales from 0 to 5000. NV's version of Blitz has the minimum range at 2500, so you need to get around the middle of that range. Meanwhile, for FO4's version, Rank 1 is at 2000, while Rank 2 is at 3000, reflecting the power fantasy gameplay of FO4. Some people have run into this, so I've seen fit to post this information.

INSTALLATION: (Install the pre-requisites first)

Choose one version of the mod to download, not both. To manually install the mod, drop it in your "data" folder in your New Vegas directory like you would with anything else. You can access your directory by going to your Steam Library, right-clicking New Vegas in your Games List, and then selecting "View Local Files." I recommend creating a shortcut to your directory to make things easier.

Or, provided you've downloaded a Mod Manager such as Vortex or Mod Manager 2, (I recommend the latter) you can just do an auto-install to that as well!

As usual, mind your load order when installing mods. The only true incompatibilities this mod will have are with Respec Mods which do not take non-vanilla perks like this into account. Other than that, I hope you enjoy using this mod!
