Freakers Evolved- Complete Overhaul

This mod is a full AI and behavior overhaul for all Freaker types in Days Gone, including Swarmers, Screamers, Newts, Bleachers, Reachers, Breakers, and Hordes.

The goal:

make the infected more dangerous, more responsive, and more immersive, without sacrificing game balance. All changes scale with game difficulty. Values are carefully tuned to avoid being excessive on survival or hard difficulties

 

 Key Changes:

  • []Improved Awareness – All Freakers now have enhanced sight and hearing, react faster when spotting the player, and spread awareness to nearby infected more efficiently.
    • []Increased Damage – Enemy damage values have been carefully boosted for a more intense and punishing experience.
      • []Adjusted Movement Speeds – Run and sprint speeds increased slightly (10–15%) to make chases and encounters feel more threatening without being overwhelming
        • []Screamer Buffs – Screamers now summon moreFreaks with her scream. There are many options to pick from. 10, 25, and 50 are the base version, but there are also options that will make the screamer call a horde with her scream that range from  200 or 300 Freaks. 
          • []Behavioral Tweaks – Hordes and individual Freakers will notice and react to the player more quickly, making stealth riskier and combat more dynamic.
