This mod is mandatory for this game (gameplay improvement)

[ni0g0s]

I wasn't even going to finish this game since the gunfights were terribly tedious. Enemies are bullet sponges (like 4-6 bullets to die, sometimes even more than one headshot...), they dont even react to most impacts and can shoot you while you are hitting them, pistols sound like toys and shoot like Uzi...

But since i was going to uninstall it, i decided to give some mods a try. And this one changed the feeling for me and i could finish the game enjoying the gunplay

This is the mod

Combat Gameplay Overhaul

And some random clips i recorded:

Guns fire rate

Vanilla gameplay (bullet sponges, minute 0:48 you can see the enemy shooting at me while i hitting his chest...and more)

Mod gameplay

Now enemies die with 2 shots. When you hit them they have a reaction/animation and their actions are interrupted. Guns feel way more powerful, they gameplay is way more fair, no more useless hitmarks, better crosshair (the mod allows you to chose another crosshair), more realistic fire rate, reloads take a bit longer, manual aim in vehicles...and more

Maybe in the video is not very noticeable, but for me it has been a gamechanger. I think this mod is mandatory since Hangar 13 is not even able to do the most simple things. This studio is a disaster.

So its just mod that makes game easier?

I wouldnt say easier, but fairer.

Is it easier? yes, it is since the enemies now react like humans to shots and not like robots without pain. Is easier because now they dont resist 4,5,6, or 7 shots. Is easier because now they cant keep shooting while bullets are hitting them...

So yes, is easier because is actually fairer

Anyway, the mod has some extras that can be downloaded too, one of them make the enemies more dangerous and the game harder

Does modding interfere with the achievements?

Thanks. The hotel sequence is ridiculous on classic, so will give this a go.

Not really, just take it slow, keep your gun pointed and don't run.

With this mod is easier, but also more realistic and funny for me. It feels fairer

Yeah, I'm sure I could get it in the end, but it just isn't any fun dealing with bullet sponges.

Thats why i liked this mod so much. I hate bullet sponges, it breaks my immersion. If you try it, id like to know your impressions here

Mod looks fantastic. This is basically an immersion mod linked. Thanks for the heads up.
