📋 About This Mod

I have Nexus donations disabled because they haven't worked for me since September 2023. If you would like to donate, here is my Ko-fi :)

This mod was such a pain to make because four of the files had a broken export and I had to jury-rig it back together with my small brain.

DETAILS:

  • []Common Experiment Cost: 15 Intel - rewards +5 to a random secondary stat and a common combat bonus.
    • []Rare Experiment Cost: 30 Intel - rewards +10 to a random secondary stat and a rare combat bonus.
      • []Epic Experiment Cost: 45 Intel - rewards +15 to a random secondary stat and an epic combat bonus.
        • []Legendary Experiment Cost: 60 Intel - rewards +20 to a random secondary stat and a legendary combat bonus.
          • []Installing this mid-playthrough may require waiting for the next experiment refresh before the modded experiments show up. Thank you, casma164, for bringing this to my attention.

            SEPARATE DOWNLOAD:

            • []Experiments Every Day: Reduces experiment refresh time from 3 days to 1 and reduces hero experiment participation cooldown from 3 days to 1.

              OPTIONAL DOWNLOAD:

              • []Morbius' Laboratory Overhaul_Combat Bonuses Only: Experiments reward combat bonuses only, with intel costs adjusted from 15/30/45/60 to 5/10/15/20.
                • []Morbius' Laboratory Overhaul_x2: Doubles the secondary stats rewarded (per the overhaul's standards) and also doubles their intel cost.

                  MODS RECOMMENDED TO USE WITH THIS MOD:

                  • []My Pet the Cat mod to get more intel.
                    • []My Spread the Secondary Stats to have more options to gain secondary stats.

                      ISSUES:

                      • []The lab UI still displays credits instead of intel. Any attempts I've made to change this have failed.

                        COMPATIBILITY:

                        • []This mod is NOT compatible with hornedskulldrake's Morbius Lab Steroid.

                          INSTALLATION:

                          Extract pakchunk999-BelinnOverhaulMorbius'Laboratory_P.zip and put the .pak file in Steam\steamapps\common\Marvel's Midnight Suns\MidnightSuns\Content\Paks

                          To uninstall, delete pakchunk999-BelinnOverhaulMorbius'Laboratory_P.pak from the same folder.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Morbius' Laboratory Overhaul reworks the lab experiments in XCOM 2, replacing stat penalties with combat bonuses and switching costs from credits to intel. An optional version offers combat bonuses only. With 382 endorsements and 24,097 downloads, it's a niche but popular tweak for players who want more aggressive soldier builds.

✨ Key Features

Experiments grant combat bonuses instead of subtracting stats.
Experiments cost intel instead of credits.
Optional download provides combat bonuses only with intel costs.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-tested with 382 endorsements and 24k downloads.
  • Removes the stat penalties that make experiments feel like a trap.
  • Intel cost makes experiments a strategic choice, not a credit sink.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2023 — may not be compatible with the latest XCOM 2 patches or DLC.
  • Only affects lab experiments — if you're looking for broader gameplay changes, this won't scratch that itch.
🎯 Is This For You?
For XCOM 2 players who want to use the lab without sacrificing stats, especially those who prefer aggressive builds. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla trade-off or want more comprehensive overhaul mods.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using the Steam Workshop, just subscribe and enable the mod in the launcher — no manual install needed.
  • The optional 'combat bonuses only' file is a separate download; pick one version to avoid conflicts.
  • Check your mod load order — place this after other gameplay overhauls to ensure it takes effect.
