freeze scare overhaul

The "Handcuffs Now" version!

Freeze has three main goals:

• Depending on the specific situation, the chance of success in intimidation is reduced by RNG.
• Increase rewards for appeasing enemies
• Make the entire system more realistic and immersive

chance of surrender

Vanilla chance

40% flat, small level-based bonus

freeze opportunities

Player levels, perk levels and charisma

enemy level

Enemies using melee weapons are more likely to surrender without closing the gap or losing their legs.

While undetected, you will receive a bonus depending on how close you are to your opponent. (Full when not detected, half when they search.)

Enemies will be harder to pacify based on how many friends they have nearby

Children will be easier to soothe

Cowardly enemies will always surrender

Lady Killer / Black Widow perk bonus actually works

Power Armor changed in 2.1

Enemies wearing powerful armor will surrender based on nearby allies and their health. Get them low before trying to intimidate them!

When you wear powerful armor, you gain bonuses against enemies lower than you.

after surrender

Muh immursion

After a successful surrender, the enemy now places their weapon on the floor.

XP bonus

You gain XP based on enemy level, which is level 3.

second thought

Safe enemies may break the pacify if you're in combat, your weapons are holstered, or you don't keep them in sight.

Especially if they still have weapons in their inventory!

To prevent this, you can handcuff the enemy (see below)

Power Armor changed in 2.1

Enemies wearing powerful armor will exit their armor.

If they had to move to find enough space to exit, they probably wouldn't have their hands up.
