Faction Extinction(Gang Behavior and Immersion Overhaul)

Isn't it odd how no matter what you do night city never changes? Well, no more I say. With Faction Extinction Protocol what you do matters a whole lot now.

WHAT THIS MOD DOES

Every gang and faction gets a complete combat identity. Maelstrom chrome-heads shrug off headshots. Arasaka operatives hack back. Scavengers break and run the second things go sideways. 14 factions, each with:

• []unique armor

  []resistances

  []morale thresholds

  []fear triggers

  []and combat behavior —

  all scaling with rank. So that a low level scavenger will feel and play different than a top tier one.

  Push a faction hard enough and they go extinct. Permanently. For your entire playthrough.

  14 PHONE MISSIONS — 250,000 EDDIES

  Contacts across Night City reach out when you start making an impact in their neighborhood.

  • []A ripperdoc in Pacifica sick of scavenger victims.

    []An ex-Maelstrom loyalist who wants Watson back.

    []A Trauma Team defector who watched her squad fly over a dying kid because mom's insurance lapsed.

  Each mission is localized — only kills in the relevant district count. You're not wiping out an entire faction(yet), just cleaning up a specific neighborhood.

  Complete all 14 for up to 250,000 eddies, or ignore them entirely. They play out naturally as you explore Night City.

  Requires the Phone Extension mod.

  FEAR Factor

  NPCs track what you're doing to their crew. Carve through them with a katana and watch survivors reconsider their life choices.

  • []Mid-combat fleeing when morale breaks

    []Weapon phobias — some gangs fear blades, some fear explosives, some fear quickhacks

    []Rank matters — street gonks flee first, lieutenants hold, leaders fight to the end

    []Push a faction to vendetta status and they flee on SIGHT

  GHOST OR LOUD

  Loud: Become infamous. Kill squads come for you. But walk through their turf and watch street soldiers freeze, then run. You're the monster parents warn their kids about.

  Silent: Vanish enemies without a trace. No witnesses, no reputation, no hunters. The gang just... shrinks. And they never know why.

  SCANNER INTEL

  Scan any faction NPC and see their combat profile: Health, Armor, Net-Sec, Morale state, Fear triggers, and active Traits. Toggle it off in settings if you'd rather fight blind.

  TRAITS

  - Lead-Head — Reinforced cranium reduces headshot damage. Bring AP rounds or aim for the body.

  • Good-Aim — Elite marksmen with tighter accuracy. You'll feel the difference.
