📋 About This Mod
Why this mod?
Ranged weapon's fire rate is not affected by Sandevistan. If a gun has 5. 5 fire rate with a 20% slow Sandevistan, it has the same value with a 85% slow Sandevistan. But, ~95% of ranged weapons get a 50% fire rate nerf when a Sandevistan is active. It's not scaled by time slow, it's just a direct and brutal nerf. To make it easier to visualize, is is almost the same with a Kerenzikov, clearly, Kerenzikov is more effective in this case. The last 5% weapons get a 10% nerf, but they are some weapons with highest damage, what they need is precision, they dont care about that 10% fire rate nerf or any fire rate at all.
The goal is simple, when time slows down:
- Your character should feel enhanced rather than partially handicapped.
- Ranged combat should feel faster, smoother, and more responsive instead of gaining extra time to aim and reposition just to realize that your damage is cut by half.
- Run-and-gun weapons are significantly more satisfying to use during Sandevistan.
- Sandevistan becomes a viable option for a wider variety of playstyles instead of primarily favoring blade weapons.
