📋 About This Mod
Armor Improved
Improved Armor Effectiveness Curve
Removed Inconsistencies across difficulties
Increases End-Game Armor Effectiveness
In the Vanilla game, your armor becomes less effective as you level up.
No warning, no steady decline, just a sudden "ok, now you're taking 30% more damage because you leveled up".
The player is never notified of this mechanic, nor will they have any idea when it's happening.
What this mod does
Creates a steady decline to your Armor Effectiveness, instead of vanilla's sudden jumps, so no more surprises.
Armor Effectiveness is now consistent no matter what difficulty you choose.
Also Increases End-Game Armor Effectiveness from 24% to 30%.
