📋 About This Mod
Changes the location damage for Mirelurks, making their shells near impenetrable and claws more resistant.
This mod alters the base damage multipliers for Mirelurks and Mirelurk Queens. Specifically, it changes their Shell's base damage reduction from 75% reduced to 99% reduced and their Arm/Claws from 50% reduced to 95% reduced. I mainly made this for myself, as I like the idea of their shell's providing a tactical challenge without turning them into a complete bullet sponge. I left out Mirelurk Hunters, mainly because they don't have as distinct of a shell and seem to be mutated lobsters rather than horseshoe crabs. This mod now keeps Softshell Mirelurk's damage reduction close to vanilla. I made them slightly less resistant overall (~10% less) because a soft shell won't be as effective as a hard one. This will conflict with anything that alters the body part data for Mirelurks and Mirelurk Queens, and anything that alters the entry for Softshell Mirelurks.
