Looking for a mod/weapon that one shots on sneak (melee)

[chojinkai]

Hi there as the title says Im looking for a mod or weapon that will basicly one shot on a backstab, melee obviously as I plan on trying out the ninja style of play

 

Iv had no luck finding one as Im not too sure what I would type in the search box.

 

basicly a dagger that does huge damage on sneak attack and normal damage any other time or a mod that changes/adds a perk to do this

 

thanks!

I suppose you could just get the one you think sounds best, then get the GECK and modify the crit damage to something really high. Doesn't need to be too super high, since sneak crits are double what a normal crit is.

More perks has a perk at a later level that allows you to do that with a melee weapon in sneak.

Well, if you want to be a ninja, can I interest you in a ninjato? Shuriken? :P

 

But seriously, just pick whatever weapon you like and edit its values in the GECK to your liking. Also, it helps if you drag the difficulty slider all the way down, as then enemies tend to take a lot more damage from your attacks.

 

That said, among things which tend to be deadly on a crit from sneak and on the lowest difficulty setting, even just from my mods, you can try:

 

- the lightsabers. Fast, high damage for a one hander, double chance for normal crit, double damage to limbs (they do tend to lose an arm in the movies), crit bouns damage as high as the normal damage. Or

 

- the nagamaki from Weapons Of The Shogunate. Pretty much same deal, except it's two handed and thus slower. Though the faster one-handers aren't a too bad deal either, as if something still stands, you can just give it two more slashes with a wakizashi in the same second. Or

 

- pretty much any halberd or battleaxe. Or

 

- the European Greatsword. Or

 

- the Epix Greatsword if you want something more fantasy-like. Or

 

- the Epix Great Axe for the kick of hitting someone with an axe the size of a sharpened manhole cover :P

 

Mind you, none of them is the "Mysterious Stranger's Magnum" kinda god-mode weapon, but on the lowest difficulty and from stealth they do be just powerful enough to make NPCs keel over.
