Weapon Rebalance Mod v1.1

This mod may be outdated, and not everything may work correctly, as I last updated it three years ago. I currently have no time or interest to revisit it.

You are free to edit, modify, and re-release the mod if you'd like. All the changes are still listed in the Google Spreadsheet. Give credit to Slostenn if you plan to use the shotguns in special slot part of the mod. Thank you!

Attention: For the ammo changes to take effect (without 'Up The Ante' skill unlock) you have to start fresh with a complete new save state.

See known issues tab or the  "Posts" section for more information.

This mod rebalances all weapons by either increasing the rate of fire while nerfing other stats to make them balanced.

The goal is to make every gun feel unique, or the best at a current situation. For example:

the Boozer's Shotgun has low range but more damage, while the RSF60 has more range but lower damage up close.

another example; Desert Eagle is good for close to mid range, while the Sheriff is mainly good for longer ranges.

Expect big buffs to shotguns, single shot rifles and pistols these were very mediocre in the vanilla game.

This mod edits 35 weapons with regards to DMG, stopping power, penetration, rate of fire, first shot accuracy, range and mag capacity.

As well as Storage capacity, but for this you need to start a new game. If you want to see what is exactly changed I made a spreadsheet here:

Highlighted fields are edited. The value listed is in the cell is base game, pointing cursor towards the cell gives the new updated value.

You can download the spreadsheet and open in Excel for easier viewing.

Crosshair/ reticle changes:

All AssaultRifles now use the + crosshair and not the inaccurate x crosshair anymore.

All SubMachineGuns (SMG's) now use the + crosshair and not the inaccurate x crosshair anymore.

All LightMachineGuns (LMG's) now use the x crosshair and not the inaccurate {   } crosshair anymore.

Pump-action shotgun and bolt-action rifle fire rate fixes, also generally shotgun buffs so to make them worthwhile in the special slot against beasts like MK55:

BEFORE         AFTER

This is as fast as you could shoot unmodded.   Fixed the fire rate for every shotgun and bolt action return to idle.

And Every shotgun was more or less           Unique trait: The Combat Shotgun now has a pistol reticle

outclassed by progression.            and is the most accurate shotgun for range!

Pistol rebalance to bring them more in line with SMP9 and other sidearms:
