How to Separate the Grenade and Bash Keys in Fallout 4

If you are tired of accidentally throwing grenades when you want to bash enemies or vice versa, you might want to try a mod that separates the grenade and bash keys in Fallout 4. This mod allows you to assign different keys for throwing grenades and bashing with your weapon, as well as adding a grenade key into the ingame controls menu. This way, you can have more control over your combat actions and avoid wasting grenades or missing melee opportunities.

There are two main mods that offer this feature: Bash and Grenade key separator by retekkid and Separate Grenade Keys by WolfmanMODS. Both mods require F4SE (Fallout 4 Script Extender) to work, so make sure you have it installed before using them. Here is a brief overview of each mod and how to install and use them.

Bash and Grenade key separator by retekkid

This mod adds a grenade key into the ingame controls menu to solve the bash/grenade issue. You can set any key you want for throwing grenades, and the default bash key will remain the same. To install this mod, you need to extract the F4BGS.exe file into your Fallout 4 root directory. If you have F4CE (Fallout 4 Customization Engine) installed, you are done. If not, you need to follow some additional steps to modify your customcontrolmap.txt and translation files. You can find detailed instructions on the mod page.

To use this mod, you need to run F4BGS.exe to play the game. You also need to reset your controls to default or delete your controlmapCustom.txt file in your Fallout 4 folder under My Games. Then, you can set your new grenade key in the ingame controls menu and enjoy.

Separate Grenade Keys by WolfmanMODS

This mod reworks how Fallout 4 manages grenades so that they are unbound from the gun melee key and can be individually assigned to a quick use slot. Furthermore, under the apparel tab you will find an equippable named "Activate Next Grenade/Mine" and corresponding equippables for each grenade or mine in your inventory. By assigning the "Activate Next" to a quick use slot, you can automatically throw any grenades or mines whose activator is selected, in the order you select them.

This mod also reworks how the Demolitions Expert Rank 2 Perk affects the aiming preview arc. Rather than each grenade having its own preview arc, upon earning the perk, players will be given and also able to craft special grenade aimers that when equipped will give the player a "practice throw" complete with aim arc. Once the aim point is selected and the practice throw finished, the next grenade thrown should be right on the money, so long as you don't move.

To install this mod, you need to download it from Nexus Mods and use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer 2 to activate it. You also need to have Nuka World DLC installed. To use this mod, you need to equip the "Activate Next Grenade/Mine" item under apparel and assign it to a quick use slot. Then, you can equip any grenade or mine activators under apparel and select them in any order you want. To throw a grenade or mine, just press the quick use slot key where you assigned the "Activate Next" item.

Conclusion

With these mods, you can have more freedom and flexibility when using grenades and bashing in Fallout 4. No more accidental explosions or missed melee attacks. Just remember to install F4SE and follow the instructions carefully for each mod. Happy hunting!
