may offer players an assortment of abilities and tools to destroy their enemies but a Rogue skill is easily one of the best in the game and one dedicated fan just made it even stronger. Unlocked as early as Level 1, the Sneak Attack skill allows sneaker characters to deal an additional 1d6 damage to a foe they have Advantage against or when an ally is within 5ft of their target. It's remarkably simple to set up and while it's already an extremely potent way to dish out pain, a new mod has made it even better.
Posted to Nexus Mods by creator Boznaz,the aptly titled «Stay Hidden After Using Sneak Attack» mod does actually what its name implies by allowing hidden Rogues to retain their stealth even after using the ability. In the vanilla version of, if a character uses Sneak Attack while hidden, they'll be forced out of the stance even if no other NPCs saw they use the maneuver. The ability to remain under the radar after launching the devastating move should allow skilled Rogues to chain together several Sneak Attacks and wipe out entire squads of foes.
While a mod that allows players to remain hidden despite using Sneak Attack may seem overpowered, given that it's already one of the best abilities in , the add-on does offer some decent customization. One particular variant requires the Rogue to pass a Stealth Check which is based on the opponents' Passive Perception, meaning it'll be harder to pull off an effective Stealth Attack chain in certain battles. This minor requirement should still cause enough chaos that players won't be able to clear entire camps with just a single ability but it will nonetheless make the skill stronger.
It's worth noting that while an additional 1d6 of damage during an attack at Advantage may not seem like much, the number increases as Rogues grow stronger. Every two levels, an additional d6 of damage is added to Sneak Attack all the way up to Level 11, meaning players can effectively dish out 6d6 of extra damage by simply launching an attack from Hiding or when they're close to an ally. While it may be incredibly rare to roll all sixes, potentially being able to stack up 36 more damage multiple times in a single encounter could be game-changing.
may be all about removing some element of players' confidence with dice rolls but, just like any mechanics, once a talented user knows how they work they can be manipulated. Retaining a Stealthed status after a Sneak Attack is just one way of optimizing combat in a game that can be especially punishing if luck is nowhere to be found. It also just makes for a fun experience that grants Rogues an extra kick that, admittedly, they probably didn't need in the first place.

and may not have great deal in common but those fans who want to see the Forgotten Realms clash with Pelican Town are in luck because a new mod is aiming to accomplish just that. Over the last few months, it's difficult to think of two games that have dominated the industry more than and, thanks to the former receiving its 1.6 Update and the latter earning a plethora of awards for its impeccable writing and game design. Mixing them both sounds impossible, but that's not stopping some talented fans.
While one might think that Ripperdocs are some of the most trained and responsible professionals in , one fan shares their discovery that suggests even they can get it wrong sometimes. Through V's journey through the underworld of Night City, they'll be able to meet up with several surgeons who specialize in equipping cybernetic augmentations to the protagonist's body, making them significantly more powerful in the process. One such upgrade is the Sandevistan operating system which works wonders if it's installed correctly.
may be a game solely committed to boots-on-the-ground combat, but one industrious fan has an incredible vision for how space combat and dogfighting could function. While Arrowhead Studios' third-person shooter is riddled with starships and cruisers, even giving players their own Super Destroyer to travel the pathways between planets, it's not actually possible to use these vessels to battle enemies. It may be too much to expect from the developers, given the scale of such an addition, but some kind of space battle mechanic would be amazing, especially if it takes its cues from this fan's video.
may already feature plenty of unique classes for players to enjoy but one fan went a step further by creating one of ' most beloved archetypes for the game. Larian Studios spent years developing its Forgotten Realms RPG so that anyone could complete its sprawling narrative, no matter their character's class, race, or build. While this kind of commitment to balance is no doubt appreciated by the community, those who wanted a little more technology infused with their magic were sorely disappointed to find that such an option doesn't exist.
is a massive game filled with secrets and rare events but one fan may have just discovered one of the rarest pieces of dialogue in the entire game. While the most common way of playing through Larian Studios' RPG is to gather up a party of daring adventurers and form a competent group of killers, some players prefer to not worry about the various NPCs constantly trailing behind Tav. A «Solo» playthrough can be a difficult task given some particularly challenging boss fights but those who rise to the occasion are in for some unique events.
In a game like that's already overflowing with secrets, one fan's discovery of a new, seemingly rare Easter egg is definitely cause for excitement. Over the course of the farming RPG's development, creator ConcernedApe has quietly added plenty of special details and features that only the most dedicated players have managed to unearth. While the animation of the developer's logo that occurs when it's clicked a few times during 's start-up is one of the more commonly-known secrets, a recent discovery suggests there's even more to unearth.
While Xbox Game Pass subscribers are no doubt trying to play some of the bigger releases of April, those wanting to experience an exceptional roguelike that didn't receive the hype that he deserved should keep their eyes peeled for the end of the month. With major Day-One launches like the JRPG and the sleeper early-access hit , April has proven to be an especially successful month for Microsoft as its catalog of offered games grew with some excellent titles. To cap off such a big month, an excellent indie gem is exactly what users need.
already provides players with plenty of powerful weapons to help spread managed democracy around the galaxy, butone player wants to hone in on one of the game's most powerful weapons that was tragically nerfed into oblivion. Following 's launch in February 2024, developer Arrowhead Studio was quick to issue a post-launch balance patch that made certain weapons less effective and some enemies more powerful. The Railgun, which was hailed by many as being the strongest firearm available, was severely affected by the update as its incredible damage decreased significantly.
While the Boost Packs in are no doubt a fun way to expand upon players' traversal skills, one fan took it upon themselves to create an even better version of the feature. Players are able to hone their skills with 's Boost Packs as they level up and add points to the skill but even at its highest level, the oxygen-guzzling equipment only allows users to fly up, making horizontal movement especially difficult and imprecise. Fortunately, those wanting to soar through the air like a bounty hunter are in luck thanks to a new mod.
is already known for pushing out a substantial amount of updates since its launch in February 2024, but developer Arrowhead Studios clarified why it can't push out even more with an excellent explanation. Ever since Super Earth's war against the Terminids and Automatons exploded in popularity, the community has enjoyed a steady stream of patches that both add new content to the game and fix any bugs plaguing the experience. It'd be unreasonable to expect any more from Arrowhead but for those who do want extra updates, it'd be unfair to make such demands.
While Xbox Game Pass is set to gain a selection of fantastic Day-One releases in the back half of April, subscribers may want to act fast to play the six games leaving the service in the coming weeks. To offset the amount of titles the platform offers, Microsoft always removes a handful of games whenever it brings in a new selection for players to experience. While that might sound like a bad deal, it makes sense given the already massive catalog on offer and users can still pick up the departing games for a discount before they eventually leave.
Johnny Silverhand is one of the most popular characters in so players wishing they could hang out more with Keanu Reeves' rockstar are in luck because a new mod makes him far more social. In the vanilla version of CD Projekt Red's RPG, the projection of Johnny's consciousness, which is embedded in protagonist V's head, appears throughout the story to both offer advice to players and just offer his thoughts on the current state of Night City. Unfortunately, those wanting to relax with Silverhand can only do so in V's original apartment, even if they own other properties.
