📋 About This Mod

this mod completely reworks the enemies strategy against the player, this AI will changes tactics, attacks, time reaction of almost all Enemies in the game. this mod can be edited via toolkit. They will be more faster and agressive than

This mod completely reworks the AI of all enemies and factions, at the same time of improving their reaction time, giving them more ways of coordination, in combat tactics, and more reactive to player movement and strats.

it always annoyed me that most Mafia 3 Mods goes to the graphics stuff, I know it's important that a game looks good, but dude, the AI it's absolutely stupid, even with the Inmersion and Realism mod, the AI shootouts feels like the AI isn't even trying, which makes the game very boring, specially with the f*cking grinding stuff for reach the Lieutenants.

-The AI will always try their best for kill you, even if that means playing dirty (such as exploding barrels near you, or let you without escape if you aren't careful)

-Speeded-up melee attacks.

-Shootouts will be not only deadly, it also makes you rethink a lot your strats during combat, just a couple of mistakes can kill you.

-most enemies will be bullet sponges, so not only their intelligence in combat it's improved, making it into a hell for the people that just want to rush into the liutenant.

-enemies can avoid throwables better than before.

-if any enemy sees you from far distance, instead of coming to check if you are there or not, he will alert his partners about your presence, so never let the alerted enemy pass near his teammates if this happens.

-The sentry guard will always be your nightmare and very unpredictable, sometimes they will call reinforcerments very quickly or very later, deppending of each faction, if you let him call his friends, that means D E A T H.

-If you try to call some enemy, that enemy will alert his closest pal on the way.

-You can now make brutal Takedowns on most enemies without Lincoln being nonsensefully merciful.

-Retaliation hitsquads aren't rusher bastards anymore, they will do everything on his hand for send you to hell, same as the reinforcerments.

-all enemies can blindfire their weapons while in cover.

-mobsters or goons will always coordinate their attacks during combat forcing you to do a tactical strategy for kill them.

-there's differences between each faction intelligence or strategy in combat, giving them a personality.

-as long you keep playing the story, there's more chance that a Mafia War starts, which also activates cops chasing your ass.

-If they see that they are getting massacred up, some of them will try to flee to the other part of the building to alert his partners about your presence.

-Shootouts are now Intense and Inmersive, like it should be since releasement.

-triggermans will always try to flank you in the worst moments.

-machinegunners will rush for force you to move if you are camping by a certain amount of time.

-most Capos, Bosses or even simple mini-bosses from rackets turns into a goddamn nightmare if you let them coordinate with their mobsters.

Bug or Feature?

-There's a weird chance that a random enemy randomly start shooting at your position, but he doenst know yet if you in that position or not, mostly noticed with police and Dixie faction, Marcano's Mobsters and Beaumont's Officers rarely times did this strat that I like to call "Luck test" because they test luck about finding you with shooting random cover spots where they think you are.

-Yep, some people in the comments sayed that the enemies die too quickly, I gived them their vanilla dmg back, now they are a freaking nightmare in max difficulty.

-I also fixed the stunlock glitch that happens when lincoln gets pushed by an enemy, making you unable to move again.

-about the allies in their bases turning on into a massive riot by no reason, yep, he was right, It costed me 2 hours ragging in my room tryin to fix it, and I managed to do it (atleast they doesn't rush like a riot anymore) but keeps alerting if a enemy car passes nearby.

I tested it by 4 weeks in my PC, it costed me mental sanity due to how many times my own modded AI kicked my ass, but it was worth it, so enjoy!

Quick Wiki about Factions

Marcano's Faction: Most of them are ready for shoot anything they can see as a threat, if you aren't fast, letting them coordinate between em means D E A T H.
