Gunman Combat Overhaul

Description
To use this mod, activate it within the addons menu of Half-Life: Alyx and play any map that doesn't already provide a "skill.cfg" file on Hard difficulty.

Inspired by Gunman Contracts, this mod overhauls Half-Life: Alyx's combat. Health and damage values across the board have been rebalanced, making gunplay as a whole much more lethal and fast paced.

Changes include:
Complete rebalance of health and damage across the board.
Locational damage has been rebalanced, making headshots far more rewarding.
Headcrabs are far more accurate and deadly, especially if one manages to latch onto your face.
Weapons have been adjusted to improve variety between them.

It's the must-have addon. Initial gameplay is good, BUT when you're shooting like 4-6 times in the head and an enemy won't die, it's frustrating. This addon fixes it. Guns now feel MUCH more realistic and dangerous, there are 1-2 shots to the head required to kill combines(and zombies btw). You now can actually use blindfire with guns - and it will be effective in some situations, since overall damage is increased(including INCOMING damage). 10/10 mod. And it works with custom maps too, simply enable it and begin a new game on highest difficulty. Tested with C17SCAPE campaign.

hate how underpowered the pistol feels in the game as opposed to the gunman maps, sure hope it fixes that!

Assuming nothing's wrong, the mod should appear in the mod list as usual, and once activated all you have to do is start any map on HARD difficulty for the changes to take place. But I updated the mod a while back and while at the time it seemed to have worked, perhaps I messed something up. I'll try to take a look sometime.

Have not tried this mod yet, but I want to thank you anyway for creating it. This is PRECISELY what I wanted in Half Life Alyx. I HATE bullet sponginess in ANY GAME WHATSOEVER. This game was amazing, but now it's about to be damn near perfect thanks to your work. Thank you.

Alright thanks for clearing that up! Is there an equivalent difficulty in this mod? I put it down to easy, but I seem to be pretty tanky. Trying to find that sweet spot where both I and the enemies die fast.

Yeah, that's about right. The mod is only inspired by Gunman Contracts, it doesn't play exactly like it. I didn't want to make every enemy in the game die in two or three hits like in Gunman Contracts because the encounters in Alyx just aren't built for that, every combat sequence would be over in 5 or 6 seconds as there's far less enemies than in Gunman Contracts.

I was a bit confused at first, I thought this mod would make Easy/Medium/Hard basically reflect exactly to their counterparts in Gunman, but that doesn't seem to be the case? I tend to play Gunman on hard, so strong enemies, strong player. But by the looks of thing Hard mode in this makes the enemies more spongy again?
