Fallout 4 Balance Patch

This is a fan made modification made with unofficial tools. Use this at your own risk, and back up all save files and mods before using.

This mod rebalances Fallout 4 for people who mostly enjoy the vanilla experience, but feel it could use some balance adjustments.

Relatively simple and subtle changes that are usually compatible with most other mods. I think most people will agree with these changes.

Load this mod early on in your load order so your other mods can overwrite any changes.

Requires all official DLC.

Legendary Effects

Some legendary effects were so bad they weren't even worth considering. The worst offenders were compensated, while some of the more exploitable effects were slightly toned down.

Buffs:

Assassin's Does 50% more damage against humans.

Mutant slayer's Does 50% more damage against Super Mutants.

50% more damage⇒100% more damage

Troubleshooter's Does 50% more damage against robots.

50% more damage⇒100% more damage

Plasma infused Adds 10 points of energy damage and can turn enemies into goo.

10 energy damage⇒12 energy damage. This is only increased to 12 because it scales off of perks for some reason (most effects don't)

Staggering Chance to stagger on hit.

New Condition - 50%⇒15% Chance to stagger for rippers. For comparison auto weapons have a 5% chance to stagger. This looks like an oversight.

Poisoner's Target is poisoned for 10 seconds. (3 points poison damage per seco
