Stronger bullet / gun damage vs. Dinos: Is there a way, with or without mods?

[Zenith]

I play with a handful of friends, and we noticed bullets do quite a bit less damage vs. dinos than they do each other. We play together and only together on a friend's hosted server, and simply want bullets to do more damage against dino's. I'm not talking about a pistol one shotting a rex or spino, but just.. more. They're not BAD as they are but they seem to be in need of a bit of damage purely in PvE, at least for my standard.

Is there any way to buff the damage ourselves, or a mod that does it? (Without making them ridiculously OP)

Btw: We tried to keep harvest rates and resource spawns as close to the default as possible so that it wouldn't be TOO easy, which is why I'm asking specifically for gun damage instead of us just quadrupling resource harvesting to compensate for ammo costs

Thanks guys!

I dont believe there is any such thing to adjust specific weapon damage.
But honestly the guns are fine you just gotta get higher grade ones.

Like acention then you will be 1 shotting everything and wish they were nerfed.

Also sniper + shotgun is a very powerful combo even with the weak normal grade versions it takes 4 sniper bullets and 2 shotgun shells to kill a lvl 60 trex.

For better versions you need to go to all the orbs that spawn across the map "besides white and green",
The triangle loot crates in caves of quality blue and higher,
The deep sea loot crates,
Killing alphas also has a chance of giving them.

There are many ways to get ur hands on the better blueprints.

Be warned tho some of the blueprint costs are madness and due to the sheer number of materials needed you can only make acention in the tek replicator meaning u gotta do some boss hunting for that one.

Dinos have a built in mod aginst gun damage. Thye only take 70% IIRC.

Well, the issue with that is cost vs. efficiency. The guns, regardless of grade, cost considerable resources to craft and craft ammunition for without having ridiculous resource harvesting / respawn rates. If we were to all have ascendant quality guns, they'd cost insane amounts to repair. We've gotten a few of the higher grade weapons (mostly simple shotguns oddly enough) and while they work really well, the downide is again, the repair cost. It all comes down to resource vs. effectiveness.

Is there really no way to make guns more effective vs dinosaurs without simply increasing the harvest rate and resource respawn rate? =(

use guns that have a high fire rate or many hits, shotguns, FSRs, assault rifles, etc.

longnecks aren't optimal if the dino has a lot of health
