📋 About This Mod
A few days ago as of writing this, my mother died from a sudden brain haemorrhage. The way I've supported myself for the last 20 years was to do IT and computer stuff for her small business. I have no support system, and I need a new one. I don't want to beg, and I don't want charity. So instead I'll just have to do the one thing I've always been good at, namely, modding.

PLUNDER now has a standalone expansion mod, check the spoiler and click the image to visit the page:
P. L. U. N. D. E. R:
Ever wish combat was more realistic? That Power Armours were walking tanks? That flamethrowers actually set fire to things? Maybe you aren't interested in difficulty based on inflating and deflating PC/Enemy actor values to the point where combat is really just comparing spreadsheets?
P. L. U. N. D. E. R is a unique combat overhaul that doesn't just affect combat. But also things that affect combat. Such as loot, and even the game economy. Also, keep in mind that this mod is balanced for survival. It might not play properly at other difficulties.

FEATURES:
- []- Explosions, flamethrowers and other appropriate things produce fire that will actually harm the enemy. This can be used to your advantage in creating harmful environments.
- []- Combat and damage is recalibrated for survival. Hardcore damage values mean few shots per kill for fast paced and intense combat.
-
[]- Blood, Shell Casings, Bullet Holes and similar things have all been configured to be visible from further away, and remain persistent for longer times. This also fixes the issue where blood doesn't appear properly when fighting enemies.
