📋 About This Mod
This mod aims to mostly debuff M Lasers, SRMs, and LRMs.
The changes are also applied on the +, ++, +++, ER, and Pulse variants
You can view the exact changes in the image. These are the guidelines on them:
- Brings it in line with the other ACs
- Reduced range to reduce the threat of multi AC20 tanks
M Laser nerf
- Less damage to make it more equal per tonnage against other weapons
- Reduced damage and balance as its damage and knockdown potential were way too good
- Introduced a rising recoil to favour not shooting every round (a skilled pilot can negate the recoil completely)
- Slightly reduced critical in line with LRM changes
- Fixed a bug introduced with the patch where the Holly SRM6+ had -1 accuracy
- Fixed a bug introduced with the patch where the Holly SRM6++ had -5 accuracy
- Introduced a rising recoil to favour not shooting every round (a skilled pilot cannot negate the recoil completely)
- Reduced critical since it can by default roll for it 5-20 times
- S Laser damage nerfed to bring it in line with the new M Laser
- Flamer damage buffed to make 25% and 50% cover mean more against it (5/3/2 to 8/6/4)
Installation
In your Battletech folder, navigate to "BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets\data\weapon" and replace/overwrite the files with the ones contained in the zip.
I suggest making a copy of the weapon folder if you wish to undo the modifications (on Steam you can verify files if you forgot to do this).
A balance mod for a game that aims to equalize weapon effectiveness, preventing players from being funneled into a narrow set of optimal choices. It also includes bug fixes. With only 5 endorsements and last updated in 2018, it's a niche mod with limited community traction.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Directly addresses a common complaint in many games: weapon imbalance
- Includes bug fixes, which is a nice bonus beyond just tweaking numbers
- Small but dedicated following (5 endorsements) suggests it works for those who use it
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 — likely outdated and may not work with current game versions
- Very low endorsement count (5) means few players have tested or vouched for it
- No details on which weapons are changed or how, so you're going in blind
For players who are tired of using the same few weapons because they're objectively better. If you want a more varied arsenal and don't mind potential compatibility issues, this might be worth a shot. Skip if you're happy with the current balance or want a more comprehensive overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's comments or forum posts for any known compatibility issues with your game version.
- Make a backup of your save files before installing, in case the rebalance breaks something.
- If the mod doesn't work, try using a mod manager to ensure proper installation.
