📋 About This Mod
Okay, we'll make this a bit more descriptive and clear.
Update 2. 1, in my opinion, ruined the Sandevistan build that had become my favorite way to play the game by reducing its duration and the amount of recharge that came from eliminating enemies. It made similar changes to the Axolotl, which for the same reason made me no longer want to play the game. This mod is meant to restore those bits of cyberware to their pre-2. 1 state and make my favorite build usable again. To that end, the duration of the Militech Apogee Sandevistan has been increased to 8 seconds, and its recharge rate has been increased to 20%. The Axolotl has been adjusted to once again reduce cooldowns by 9%-12. 5% (depending on upgrade level), as well. It should install fine with Vortex, or you can drop the file contents directly into the root directory of the game.
I hope you enjoy this proportionally to the frustration that drove me to create it.
A small note: The changes won't appear in the stats screen for the cyberware. I have absolutely no idea how to change that, and I don't really think it makes much of a difference. The change should be noticeable when playing with the relevant cyberware installed.
To install:
Simply unpack the content to the root folder of your game. As long as you have cyber engine tweaks, it should work.
