📋 About This Mod

Greetings, fellow Wastelander!

Have you ever wondered why for the sake of Nuke this pesky lvl 50++ Legendary Deathclaw you've just killed dropped this useless Lead Pipe or Leather Armor piece?

Have you ever wondered why there are so much melee weapon drops from legendaries in a gun-oriented game? (okie-dokie,I am aware of the fact how OP melee is at highter levels in Vanilla game)

Have you ever wondered why there are so much armor drops when you need the fire power RIGHT NOW?

Then this mod might be for you.

Personally I've made it while I was working on my another mod (sneaky-sneaky), answering exactly the same questions.

So, long story short, here what it does in numbers:

Chance to get weapon / armor (Look at the Math section at the bottom of description for clarifications) Vanilla - 50% / 50% Modded - 75% / 25% Modded(Optional) - 70% / 30%

Chance to get gun / melee Vanilla - 66% / 33% Modded - 75% / 25% Modded(Optional) - 25% / 75%

Loot rules:

First of all remember that level thresholds are determined based on monster level and not the player level.

Vanilla - you could get EVERY weapon/armor with level < monster level. Resulting in weird drops like pipe pistols from lvl 50+ enemies. Modded - you get level-apropriate loot every time. No more low-level loot from highter level enemies. Loot pools:

First of all with the new version we are moving to tiering aproach with mixed loot pools. What does it mean? Read below.

Pool levels:

SuperLite:

  • []Same as Vanilla. You could get low level weapons/armors from top-end enemies with exactly the same chance like in Vanilla.
