Gunsensical

INTRODUCTION

Hey, I was an expert gameplay designer working on Cyberpunk 2077 and its expansion pack. This mod was waiting on my drive for over half a year, until now, when I finally found the time and felt like submitting it to nexus.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a sci-fi game, but that didn't stop the majority of gun designs from following how the real guns work. Most of the guns have visible bullet caliber markings and you can see different bullets inside the magazines, in animations of pulling the slide or inside the ejection port. This mod is my pet subject and an exercise I keep repeating in different games from time to time since my Fallout 4's attempt.

TLDR, changes:

[]Rebalanced all gun damage values to be proportional to real life bullet muzzle energy.[/]

[]Buffed melee weapons' damage, so they keep up with the guns.[/]

[]Blunt melee weapons now have stronger hit reactions and can pop enemy head's off.[/]

[]"Going the Distance" Reflex perk's functionality has been integrated into "Slaughterhouse" Reflex master perk.[/]

[]"Going the Distance" perk functionality has been changed into unlocking infinite comboing of light attacks for all melee weapons.[/]

[]Equalized player and NPC damage numbers (mostly resulted with damage increase, keep in mind that the game also applies damage scaling).[/]

[]Adjusted rate of fire of few weapons that were too far outside of their category ranges (smg, rifle, auto pistols, etc.).[/]

[]Adjusted burst rate of fire to consistent with new rate of fire values.[/]

[]Adjusted magazine capacities to be reasonably following magazine model size vs the bullet caliber size.[/]

[]All guns follow consistent armor penetration rules based on the bullet calibers they use.[/]

[]Halved shotgun spread values (against the game fantasy that shotguns become unreliable above 10m range).[/]

[]Increased shotgun effective range from 10m to 15m.[/]

[]Made enemy shotgun damage simulate number of pellets that hit the player with distance, based on weapon effective range (vanilla game divides weapon damage by number of pellets). This allows shotgun to deal its full weapon damage (an increase by up to 2. 85x below 9m compared to vanilla game).[/]

[]Fixed an issue from vanilla game where full-auto shotguns didn't use full-auto shooting patterns but regular shotgun ones. Affects Pozhar and Crusher.[/]

[]Decreased tech weapon's charge time to 0. 5sec.[/]

[]Increased smart weapon target acquisition range by 50%.[/]

[*]Delayed the recoil of burst weapons until after all
