Lethal Mutants A Comprehensive Mutant Re Balance
This is a continuation of my other Mutant Rework Project. Mutants will be less tanky but lethal. Knockdowns and other Effects that make fights unfair have been removed. An optional file for better Mutant scaling with Better Ballistics also exists.
What is this mod?
This is a follow-up to my original Mutant Rework Project. But expanded and targeting an audience that is looking for a bigger Challenge. Mutants are no longer crazy tanky, but they’re more deadly — expect faster, more intense fights.
I’ve removed knockdowns and other annoying effects that made combat feel cheap or frustrating. Adjusted damage and other values that make mutants more scary to encounter. Preperation is everything. Don’t expect to be able to kill every Mutant wearing a Debut Suit …unless your aim is perfect. Headshot damage multipliers have been increased to rewards good play. Armor damage values have been increased to punish bad play.
There’s also an optional Version included if you’re using the Better Ballistics Mod, so everything scales better together. Otherwise the damage increase of weapons in Better Ballistics might make Mutants die too fast.
Future of this mod
I would like to turn this into a longer term Project, bear with me I’m very new to Stalker modding, but for that I need YOUR Feedback.
If you feel like the mod needs any changes or you encounter any issues, please let me know.
I want to make bigger changes in the future to make mutants feel more different from each other and give them unique difficulties depending on which one you’re facing.
Compatibility
Should be compatible with anything that does not alter the “MutantName.cfg” or “MutantNameAbilities.cfg” files.
If you are using the Better Ballistics mod by Kazzz, use the optional version.
