WeaponSkillKeys

Weapon Skill Keys

Adds 2 customizable keybinds: one for a mainhand and one for an off-hand weapon specific attack skill.

Each keybind uses a skill depending on the currently equipped weapon.

When a pistol is equipped, the off-hand button for Fire/Reload needs to be held to reload the pistol (to prevent accidental reload). This is optional, enabled by default.

You can change the keybinds in the Settings menu.

Note: The mod does not add any new quick slots, the keybinds trigger the skills on their own.

It's strongly recommended to use Outward Config Manager to set HUD element position.

What to do when the mod doesn't work as intended?

There is a slight chance that the mod may break (and break your game) in various exciting ways.

If anything untoward happens (or nothing happens, which is also a problem), please do one of the following:

• Open a GitHub issue
• Report it to me on the Outward Modding Community Discord

I'd love if you also attached a list of mods you are using, and the log from Outward\Outward_Defed\output_log.txt.
