The PENETRATOR

You either dont use full auto fire mode - missing this feature of the game completely or make ammunition abundant and cheap but than finding a single round in the radius does not bring you joy. Combining both of these things into one system was the main backbone of this mod.

At the start of new game player gets Makarov pistol and Mosin obrez. Like silver and steel swords in Witcher. One weapon to fight unarmored enemies and one for armored. AP ammo is extremely rare (Cannot be bought, must be find in radius, every round matters) SS and CHP ammo are abundant and very ineffective against armored opponents. Weak point damage has been reduced to x3, making full-auto fire a more viable and less punishing option for players who rely on volume over precision.

ENEMIES:

1) All enemies have variable health and different attention parameters meaning that different amounts of noise are needed for them to start investigating. They will also investigate for different duration depending on enemy type.

2) Some "Boss" type enemies (Harvester, Slider) have increased health and drop valuable loot to offset the price of bullets required to kill them. (They are the enemies you are supposed to go guns blazing full auto Rembo mode with cheapest bullets without worrying about ammo price). Harvester now looks like a boss too :)

GUNS and GEAR:

1) Complete weapon stats overhaul (Damage, muzzle velocity, loudness, fire rate... most things where brought to real life values)

2) Recoil is now managable on most weapons (especially lower calibers)

3) Most gear can take external (enviromental/explosive) damage. 

4) Less used/underperforming items can now be:

"Static": Receive 0% external damage. (Only wears down when firing the weapon)

"Reactive": Find it in the game and find out yourself :)

All these special items are indestructable, but lose their qualities as durability decreases. Usable at 0% red condition, but it hurts their performance. See weapons/mags/attachments descriptions and ingame notes.

5) Concentration mode (reduce shaking) available only with bolt action/single shot weapons.

LORE:

REQUIRES USING ENGLISH LANGUAGE (changes made in localization file only)

1) Some less interesting lore notes have been replaced with diary entries that reflect the changes this mod makes.

Stash notes remain very close to original  but now have references to Penetrator changes.

(Diary notes unchanged) Keep in mind that Iron man mode is canon.

2) Main missions instead of security levels player increases the UNPSC's ability to bring certain items into the radius making them available in the shop. "Import integrity" increases after every mission that requires to bring some kind of documents. It unlocks some items in the shop. Main missions description now tells you that you are chasing after some "PENETRATOR" whose actions led to all the changes in this mod.

LOOT AND ECONOMY:

1) SHOP IS ALMOST DISABLED.

2) REPAIR BOX IS ALMOST DISABLED.

3) BELOW 50% GUNS UNREPAIRABLE. (Red condition 0-50%, Yellow 50-95, Blue 95-100%)

4) Completely changes all loot in the game combining vanilla, R3mins and Chucks custom guns into one loot system.

4. 1) The closer you get to the radius the better guns (See spreadsheet link at the end of description) and in better condition you will find. (Example: in Pervomay you find Aksu at 35-65% durability, in Bolotky it's 35-75% in factory 35-85%).

4. 2) The more difficult and further away from Vanno shortcut the area is - the better loot. Nevertheless it is possible to find any weapon anywhere above 50% durability with a low chance.

5) Good flashlights are rare
