📋 About This Mod
Did you know that every gun in Cyberpunk 2077 has nearly the same DPS? Well, this undoes that, and throws "balance" out the window.
Weapons are balanced according to caliber, role, and real-life counterparts instead. Slow semi-auto revolvers have a lower overall DPS, but much greater damage per shot. Machine pistols fire lightning fast, but good luck keeping them on target. Every weapon feels like it has more of a defined role, and some are just plain better than others. Is it unfair that a LMG now shoots twice as fast and does twice the damage? Definitely! Big powerful weapons should feel big and powerful, not be dragged down by perfect balance.
Changes:
All Tech weapons have their charge time drastically lowered.
Fire rate in rounds per minute.
All recoil stats are untouched.
Melee weapons are untouched.
Optional: NPC damage set to equal player damage.
