Bats Blades and Balance-Melee Overhaul

Mod Philosophy

This mod was created to fix a core problem: only a handful of melee weapons were actually worth using. I didn’t want to make a cheat mod, I wanted something balanced, immersive, and that felt true to the tone of Days Gone. Every weapon should be usable, even early-game junk. And stronger weapons should still feel earned.

The goal of this mod is not to make combat overpowered or turn the game into a hack-and-slash. Instead, it ensures that every melee weapon is viable, while still preserving weapon variety, the need for repairs, and the value of crafting and looting. I didn't want a mod that made weapons unbreakable and can 1 hit everything. There are already mods that do just that but can take away some of the danger involved with melee combat. 

I wanted to stay true to the game and give people a reason to still loot for new materials, new weapons, and craft upgrades while still having every weapon be usable. Some weapons will still be stronger and last longer than others. Some will feel very strong, why some feel average. This is the balance I think the game needed without feeling like you are cheating.

Key Changes:

• []Durability rebalance: Each weapon will last a specific number of hits before breaking or needing repair.

• []Low-tier weapons: 100 hits before breaking / Lower max health version 30-40 Hits

• []Mid-tier weapons (most): 150 hits / Lower max health version 50-60 Hits (Most Weapons)

  []High-tier weapon
