Knockout – Non-Lethal Combat Without the Setup Confusion

About This Mod

The Problem with Traditional Combat Mods

You want non-lethal options in Fallout 4. You find a combat mod. You download it. Then you realize you need the exact F4SE version for your game runtime. Then you have to manually configure MCM settings. Then you have to test different weapon categories to see what works. Then you discover conflicts with other combat mods. Then you have to figure out load order. Then you wonder if you got the right version.

This is the "Mantella-style" headache—minutes of version checking, manual configuration, and compatibility testing.

Our Solution: Dynamic Non-Lethal Combat, Zero Configuration Chaos

Knockout adds a fully configurable non-lethal combat system to Fallout 4. Blunt melee weapons, heavy impacts, explosions, and selected ranged weapons can knock enemies unconscious instead of killing them. Knocked-out actors collapse into a physical ragdoll state, can be looted or carried, and wake up after a configurable time.

But we didn't stop at features. We completely re-engineered the installation process.

Forget manual version hunting and configuration. Our all-in-one installer handles everything:

Automatic Runtime Detection – The installer detects your Fallout 4 version and deploys the correct F4SE plugin. No manual file selection. No version mismatch errors.

MCM Auto-Configuration – All knockout rules are pre-configured with sensible defaults. Fine-tune later if you want, but it works perfectly out of the box.

Zero ESP Conflicts – Knockout is an F4SE plugin. No ESP. No scripts. No quests. No world edits. No load order issues.

Universal Compatibility – Designed to work alongside gameplay mods that change damage calculations. No conflict hunting.

The Commonwealth just got a lot more merciful. Let the installer handle the technical chaos. You just focus on sending enemies flying.
