Armor and Weapon Condition - Degradation and Repair

👍 PLEASE ENDORSE IF YOU LIKE THE MOD

💬 INTRODUCTION

This mod was broken off from a larger mod of mine, Practical Health Mechanics, for those who looking for just my Weapon and Armor Degradation system or those who wanted to use the Lite version of PHM and still have the Degradation system without all of the other changes in the Full version.

⚙️ KEY FEATURES

The Armor and weapon degradation systems are back! And with more immersive features and functionality than before! There's some other mods that try to add in either weapon condition or armor condition, but none on PC that add in both. And you need to have both for the game to be balanced.

• []Weapon & Armor condition

  []Faction-based gear condition ranges

  []Jams and Misfires

  []Bullet Penetration Level (BPL) system

  BALLISTIC PENETRATION LEVEL

  All ammo now has a armor penetration by default. Penetration amount is based on the caliber. I created a new system, BPL, to work alongside DR that would allow armor to neutralize the penetration if the armor is rated high enough.

  Armor & Caliber BPL

  Each piece of Armor you wear has its own BPL, determined by the material of the armor. Armor penetration from attacks will be neutralized if the BPL of the armor is rated the same or higher than the caliber that hit it. This doesn't eliminate the damage from the attack (that's still handled by DR), but it eliminates the penetration damage that would have otherwise taken place. This is even more realistic than DT, as in real life, when a bullet is stopped by body armor, the impact can still cause damage to the wearer.
