V.A.T.S from Fallout straight into Rimworld, this is an amazing mod made by XeoNovaDan that allows you to customise your chance of shots landing on certain body parts, instead of it just being randomised. Incredibly cool mod.

'Targeting Mode sort of brings V.A.T.S from the Fallout universe to RimWorld, so you can now have your colonists and obedience-trained animals lay waste to those who dare oppose you by having them prioritize which body part groups they target. If you're using What The Hack by Roolo, you can even have your mechanoids join in on the head-slicing/blasting fun when they're being controlled!

There are five possible targeting modes:
General - This is the same as vanilla, and the default targeting mode for all pawns. There are no accuracy penalties.
Head - Pawns will prioritize getting hits off on the target's head, with head hits being ~4x more likely (~8x against humans since their base chance is so low). There's a significant accuracy penalty of 30% though.
Body - Pawns will prioritize outright mangling their target's body, with body hits being ~2x more likely. There's a minor accuracy penalty of 10%.
Arms - Pawns will prioritize hindering their target's manipulation, with arm hits and so on being ~3x more likely. There's a moderate accuracy penalty of 20%.
Legs - Pawns will prioritize inhibiting their target's movement, with leg hits and so on being ~3x more likely. There's a moderate accuracy penalty of 20%.

With the differing characteristics of each mode, an extra layer of strategy has been added to the game. To change a pawn's targeting mode, click the 'Targeting' button at the bottom of the screen, and then select which targeting mode you want your pawn to use:

You can also change multiple pawns' targeting modes simultaneously just by selecting them all at once, then change the mode just like you would with a single pawn.

Beware though, because raiders can also use targeting modes! With smart raids, any raider with a skill level of 8 or above with the weapon they have equipped could also deviate from the general targeting mode. Some mechanoid raiders have also been programmed to favor a body part group over others.

I'd also recommend using this with something like Custom Death Randomness to be able to eliminate the random death-on-downed chance when even incapacitating your foes.'
