📋 About This Mod

Everyone can shoot a gun while carrying a body, but it used to be a terrible idea:

while so encumbered you can't run, you can't jump, you can't use items or dodge or dash... you're a sitting duck and there was no upside to this.

With this mod V will actually use that armored and implanted weight as an extra layer of protection against incoming bullets.

The bonus is a flat amount, so it will be more impactful early game when the cyberware is unranked and Vs really need the extra protetion if they're to be shot at. Still the bonus is felt even when fully upgraded.

Of course all the drawbacks of the encumbering are still there, so walking around for long with the extra protection would get old soon, but now your V will have a new option to deal with the alerted enemies after being caught assassinating (among other applications)
