“Realistic NPC Ammo Usage” is a new mod for Starfield that implements the command [Combat] bForceNPCsUseAmmo=1 in a more balanced and realistic way. This mod adjusts the ammo distribution for NPCs, providing them with less ammunition than some other mods like “Much More Ammo for NPCs.” It offers a more immersive gameplay experience, as NPCs will no longer carry excessive amounts of ammo.I created this mod because I felt overwhelmed with surplus ammunition in my playthroughs. With this adjustment, NPCs will use ammo more realistically and may even run out during combat, just like the player.If you’d like more or less ammo for NPCs, feel free to reach out with a request, and I’ll consider making adjustments based on your feedback!
