Cyberpunk 2077 mod - Headshot Damage v1. 0
Raises headshot damage that weapons gain at higher levels or through upgrading.
Why the mod?
I was asked for this. Also on lower levels several headshots are needed on enemies
aka heads are sometimes bullet sponges. The values edited are bonuses affecting the
base weapon damage not just simple multipliers.
Changed values from low itemlvl bonus min-max to high itemlvl bonus min-max:
- precision rifles 0-2 now 2. 5-3. 5
- sniper rifles 0-3 now 3-4
- all other weapons 0-2 now 2-3
take effect. Game has to recognize the change. An Upgrade should suffice and is recommended.
Whats the gain?
You do way more headshot damage on lower levels and still a bit more on higher
levels. Also easier to fight higher lvl enemies than you are. Just pop that head.
Some of my weapons do not get this! Why?
I found some iconic weapons are not affected like Johnny's gun. Those might not
use bonuses at all or not the way like other weapons. Haven't found a way to fix
