Subdermal Armor Scaled Up

If you're the kind of the gamer who always likes to look back at old trailers and old concept arts like me, you may remember seeing the Subdermal Armor in action in the 2013 Teaser Trailer and the 2018 E3 Trailer. I've always liked the idea of the Subdermal Armor implant in the Cyberpunk series. By injecting themselves with nanites and by having armor implanted under the skin, a cyberpunk can take a bullet to the face and only come out looking annoyed. If you saw these scenes in the trailers and thought you wanted to build a cybernetic Luke Cage in the dark future, then this is the mod for you.

The Subdermal Armor in Cyberpunk has one major problem that I'm actually surprised they haven't fixed yet by this point. Unlike other cyberware in the game, none of the Subdermal Armors have a Level or a Stat requirement. At Level 1, with 0 Street Cred, and with 3 in every Attribute, you can install ALL VARIANTS of Subdermal Armor from Normal-Legendary. But unlike all the cyberweapons V uses, the Subdermal Armor NEVER SCALES TO THE PLAYER'S LEVEL. From Level 1 to Level 50, the Legendary Subdermal Armor will always provide 200 armour. By the time you get past ~Level 10, the 200 armour this item gives you is so low that you're actually better off swapping this out for something else entirely and not using it at all.

By creating a basic script for the Cyber Engine Tweaks mod, I managed to change all armour values for all variants of the Subdermal Armor as follows:

• []Common: 300

  []Uncommon: 600

  []Rare: 900

  []Epic: 1200

  []Legendary: 1500

  DONATIONS GREATLY APPRECIATED

  I just set this all up a minute ago. It all feels very awkward. If you like my content, donations would be greatly appreciated. If not, I understand. This is just a free-time hobby.

  This is a mod I made a long time back near the time I came back to Cyberpunk 2077 around Patch 1. 3. I was thinking about uploading this to the Nexus back then, but I never got around to it. This is a very basic script that changes the in-game armour values for the Subdermal Armor cyberware.
