How to edit weapon stats

Open the yaml file with a text editor. I suggest Notepad++

Damage: Line 106 -Higher number = more damage, lower number = less damage. 0= Default damage values

Magazine Capacity: Line 112.  0 = default (8 rounds) Example: If you want 15 rounds you'll put "7" as the value

Rate Of Fire: Line 118. Higher value= LOWER ROF,  Lower Value= HIGHER ROF.

Try to keep this value between "-0. 10" (High ROF) and "0. 10" (Low ROF)

Tools Used:

3DS MAX 2021 - Importing, Rigging and Exporting 3D meshes
