Spartan Mod - AI overhaul inspired by Blood Money

Let's be honest, the AI in Hitman: WoA is dumb.

On vanilla Master difficulty, footsteps are literally silent on most surfaces, guards search for about 60 seconds before giving up, and suppressors make you essentially invisible. This mod fixes all that and more.

The main inspiration for this mod was Blood Money-style AI behaviour and difficulty.

It also includes optional instinct changes that fit the same design philosophy.

This mod is designed for slow, methodical play. You can still speedrun if you want - good luck.

What changed in-game:

• [] Guards now got ears they can use to hear your footsteps. Walking, running, crouch-running - it all makes noise now.

  [] Suppressors work but aren't magic - nearby guards will still hear. Subsonic weapons are your best bet for stealth.

  [] Fiber wire is the quietest kill method. Choking is louder. Neck snaps are louder still. A full brawl will draw half the floor.

  [] Guards investigate more aggressively and don't forget about you as quickly.

  [] Manhunt searches cover massive areas and last up to 10-15 minutes. Getting spotted is a serious problem.

  [] Weapons hurt. A lot. This applies equally to you and the NPCs - fair is fair.

  [] Getting shot is survivable, but the consequences will be much more noticeable. Health regeneration doesn't kick as fast, and when it does, it crawls. Every bullet wound is a semi-permanent reminder of your mistakes.

  [] Enforcers are a real threat but not omniscient. They notice suspicious behavior 33% faster than vanilla but won't instantly lock onto you.

  [] Cameras dispatch multiple guards. Security systems are active on all difficulties. Illegal items are always illegal. That's it.

  [] Master difficulty allows 2 saves instead of 1. The challenge should come mainly from the AI, not from save restrictions.

  Optional modules (recommended):

  • []Master Lite: Enables disguise ruining and security cameras on non-Master difficulties.

    []Door Picking: Makes keycard scramblers unlimited use, like lockpicks for electronic doors. Adjusts Freelancer pricing to match.

  • Human Instinct: Makes instinct vision more realistic. Removes outlines, limits glow visibility to close range. Enforcers only visible within 10-15m - you need to actually be near a threat to spot it. No more cheating.
