📋 About This Mod

If you're high-level, or use a mod where NPCs level with you, Pain Train and impact landing get pretty useless. I've worked hard on this mod for about 2 days to help improve their use and effectiveness late-game.

Here's what this mod does:

  • []Buffs the damage of Pain Train's shoulder bash (gets higher with perk rank)

    []Buffs the damage of impact landing (gets higher with the last two ranks and with explosive vents)

    []Makes it so enemies who die from being impact landed next to explode (this effect is purely visual but it's really cool)

    []Makes it so impact landing near friendly NPCs does not aggro them

    []Makes it so friendly NPCs are not effected by any effects of impact landing

    []Adds a 4th rank at level 65 to Pain Train where shoulder bashing or impact landing next to enemies below 50% health die instantly

    Enemies exploding when dying from impact landing damage is something I discovered during development, and honestly it makes impact landing kills feel really badass. Having it happen only from kills makes it rare, so I made the 4th rank be the killer so it happens more often.

    Overall, these changes should make Pain Train and impact landing maintain their effectiveness late-game.
