🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using other combat mods, test Martialize in a new save to see if NPCs behave as expected.
Watch NPCs during close encounters – they'll now mix gun strikes and kicks, so keep your distance or be ready to dodge.
Since it's a gameplay tweak, it's safe to add mid-playthrough, but always back up your save before installing any mod.
