📋 About This Mod

The mod replaces all Xenos with Pathogens. The Pathogens differ from those on C3-M3 and C5-M2/3, which means they have new skins, effects, abilities, damage values, etc. Those from C3-M3 and C5-M2/3 remain non-modded.

❗️ Mod Caution ❗️

The mod works only when each of the players has the mod. The mod doesn't work for console players.

The way to put the mod (.pak file) in: 

Steam\ steamapps\ common\ Aliens Fireteam Elite\ Endeavor\ Content\ Paks\ ~paks

There's no ~paks folder in the Paks folder by default, so just create it and put the mod file (.pak file) into it.

The following replacements have been applied:

Crusher ➯ Elite Pathogen Brute 

New skin. A Brute that has the Praetorian's health and speed, a couple its meelee attacks, the Warrior's armor, and is capable of grappling. A buffed husk-suicider spawns if the critter isn't killed within 60 sec. The husk-suicider's head explodes if the critter gets too close to the player, causing a stumble and morpthic damage.

Map Explosives (Gas Can, Explosive Barrel, Oxygen Tank, etc.) ➯ Spore Pod

Explodes on damage and leaves a 5-sec. spore cloud, causing a slowdown and morphic damage within the AoE.

Additional:

– Consumable crates on maps have been buffed. E.g., Antipersonnel Mine ➯ Electroshock/Phosphorus Popup Mine, Sentry Gun ➯ Hardened Electroshock/Incendiary Sentry Gun, Incendiary Rounds ➯ Electroshock Rounds, etc.

– The pathogens from the mod have the team number of Xenos, so if using a WPTO challenge card and having a Stalker or Brute spawn, the modded pathogens will fight the non-modded.

– A new card added – Pathogen Swarm V2.

🙏A BIG credit goes to Spiked who helped me a lot on my modding way, and to VirulenceQuietus who helped me to test the mod and fix the bugs!🙏
