Pawn Target Fix

Proximity vs. Accuracy Targeting

Left: Proximity-first (vanilla style) — pawns shoot the nearest enemy, even if they’re in heavy cover.
Right: Accuracy-first (new option) — pawns prefer enemies they’re more likely to hit, even if they’re further away.

Switch instantly in Mod Settings to match your playstyle.

Pawn Target Fix improves how pawns automatically pick their shooting targets.
Instead of only preferring the closest target, you can configure them to prefer the most accurate shot — taking into account distance, cover, weapon, and shooter skill.

Performance improved with smarter caching.

Features

• Toggle between accuracy-first or proximity-first targeting

• Configurable weighting for accuracy vs. distance

• Optional near-range nudge to focus on close threats

• Settings for downed enemies: none, deprioritize, or ignore

• Stickiness: keep current target if “close enough” to best, reducing twitchy swaps

• Minimum retarget interval via recent-target bonus

• Built-in friendly-fire awareness

• Fully translatable (English, 简体中文, 日本語, Deutsch, Français, Русский)

Compatibility

• Only patches AttackTargetFinder.GetShootingTargetScore.
• Compatible with most combat mods.
• Manual targeting is always respected.
• Should work in existing saves.

Settings
All options are configurable in the Mod Settings menu. Tune accuracy weight, penalties, bonuses, and stickiness to match your playstyle.

Notes
• Ignore downed enemies for smoother performance in very large battles.
• Combine with RunAndGun or similar mods for more natural auto-fire behavior.
