What changes

Hybrid Malorian firing behavior
Quick melee consumes one round

Using it in your game

Use Johnny’s Malorian 3516 for the comparison: aimed shots and hipfire demonstrate different behavior. Testing a different handgun does not verify this mod.

Quick melee consumes ammunition. The listing changes the weapon’s behavior; it does not advertise granting the weapon, and Ricochet Redux is a recommendation rather than a prerequisite.

Before you choose

Changes this weapon’s behavior. Ricochet Redux is an author recommendation, not a required dependency on the checked listing.

Requirements

No additional mod prerequisite is named in the checked author description. Recheck the current release before installing.

Use the in-game Mods menu for these platform releases. A listing on mod.io is not a guarantee that a modded save is compatible with every update.

Install in game

Keep a manual save made before using mods. Open Mods in the game’s main menu and connect your CD PROJEKT RED account to mod.io.
Find this exact title and author. Confirm a release for your platform. Install its listed prerequisites first, then select Install for this mod.
Wait for the download, return to the main menu and confirm that the mod is enabled. Follow any restart prompt.
Equip the Malorian 3516 and compare hipfire with aimed shots at a suitable obstacle.

How to check the result

Check aimed penetration separately from hipfire ricochets; testing another handgun will not demonstrate this change.

Try this check before adding another mod, so a failure points to the change you just made.

Update or roll back

Keep your pre-mod save. Read the author’s update or removal notes before changing an ongoing playthrough. If a dependent mod uses DQC, retain DQC until its dependants are removed. Disabling a mod does not guarantee that an existing save returns to an unmodded state.
