Faster ranged perk v7.0
Hark! The Salvo boon now be made everlasting and granteth even swifter reloading for bows, crossbows and handgonnes.
Mod Overview:
This mod offers three primary options for speeding up your ranged weapons, each providing different speed settings.
– Double Speed
– Reloads are twice as fast, bow draw is slightly faster once you have the perk. Npcs(and you without the perk) will draw the bow slightly slower to stop the bow animation from breaking.
– Quadruple Speed
– Reloads are four times quicker. Bow is snappy, crossbow reloads are significantly sped up. NPCs shoot the bow approximately every 6 seconds as opposed to 4.
– 90 times the speed
– Cannon reloads become instant, but you have disabled NPC archers. Stick to crossbow contests.
Activation: This uses the Salvo perk. It is located under the Ranged Skills and requires level 8 to unlock. You need to shoot once to activate it. Once activated, the effect is permanent.
Installation: Extract the folder into:
đź“‚ Kingdom Come – Deliverance II\mods
(If the mods folder doesn’t exist, create it manually.)
Typical installation path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\KingdomComeDeliverance2\Mods\
Disclaimers
Not compatible with other mods that edit draw speed or the salvo perk. If you bow fires early, that is vanilla behavior of not having high enough strength or running out of stamina. The perk that lowers stat requirements to equip is bugged and can fool you into thinking you can equip a bow but its not applying its effect. The movement that happens to the bow when you are moving forward is not the mod.
Modding Notes:
How to customize speed:
– Extract fastsalvo.pak in the folder as if it was a zip file.
– In buff__fastsalvo.xml: edit buff_params=”rls*4″ switching the number to the perk multiplier you want.
– in rpg_param__fastsalvo.xml: edit BowChargeDurationMax and Min values to the same value as above to keep the bow working.Can be tweaked to about 20% lower.
– Using winrar: Add the Libs folder to an archive. Format:ZIP and make sure to go to the time tab to uncheck high precision.
– Rename the zip to fastsalvo.pak and test. Dogwood Village Bow seems to be the fastest bow.
What happens if you don’t offset the bow
Speed 1.2 – Original perk speed, just permanent.
Speed 2 – Everything works as expected for most bows, but the fastest bow show signs of jank.
Speed 3 – All bows starts acting a little strange, eagle eye starts triggering early
Speed 7 – Fastest option that has the bow working, but with eagle eye triggering on draw I recommend the optional mod changing it.
Speed 8 – Bow starts glitching and is not really usable anymore, crossbows and cannons starts being enjoyable.
Speed 20 – Crossbows and cannons are nearly instant now
Optional mods are to help make this work by changing the eagle eye perk, or by making ranged weapons unbreakable.
Offset is what I named changing the speed of the bow draw to enable fast speeds without the issues mentioned above. This makes the bow slower for all npcs and yourself until you have the buff. Shoot a crossbow to get the effect it you are using the 90x version. Hopefully no quests rely on npc archers. Please comment if you remember one that does.
About Patched Table Files (PTF):
Originally introduced in Kingdom Come: Deliverance mods using the official tools, PTF allows targeted file modifications instead of overwriting entire files. This method enhances compatibility, enabling multiple mods to alter the same file provided they don’t modify the same lines. The term PTF is now used for similarly structured mods in this game even without the original tools.
