Microwave Beam My Beloved

A mod that buffs various aspects of the Plasma Rifle's Microwave Beam mod, which aims to reward the player for using the weapon mod as a combo finisher while still discouraging complete reliance on the weapon mod when going against Heavy and Super Heavy demons (as in, not quickswitching).

Not safe for public Battlemode matches.

Reasoning for the Changes:

1. Base Damage and Fire Rate

The doubling of base damage and halving of fire rate originally aimed to reduce the weapon mod's ammo consumption while still maintaining its DPS, but it ended up doing the opposite. The weapon mod's ammo consumption was barely reduced but its DPS ended up skyrocketing, but I ended up liking this version with the other changes I made so I decided to keep it.

2. Demons' Damage Resistances

All demons' damage resistances are halved and then further reduced by 20% in order to reduce the weapon's time-to-kill.

This change was made to address the issue from a community-sourced gameplay tech, where the idea was to use the Microwave Beam as a combo finisher in order to deal damage and faltering surrounding enemies, but the super long time-to-kill ended up making the weapon mod require you to memorize your weapon's damage output and the demons' HP in order to execute this tech in actual gameplay, which was just way too much of a requirement when the game is already this chaotic.

For comparison, the time-to-kill and a
