📋 About This Mod

Description

This mod aims to make all the weapons for Mass Effect 2 better.  I actually was aiming for realism but with the limited resources for modding weapons and such I can't really do that, so this is as good as I can get it for now.  But overall I am very satisfied with the results.

I actually wasn't going to release this but someone was curious and wanted me to share it so here it is.

The game only allows up to five weapons (Max) to choose from so you can't use all six weapon types unfortunately so you're going to have to exclude a weapon type from your gameplay between these six options.

  • []No Assault Rifles

    []No Heavy Pistols

    []No Heavy Weapons

    []No Shotguns

    []No Sniper Rifles

    []No Submachine Guns

    All options are included in the main file.

    New/Changes/Addons/Logs

    Added optional files for FOV key toggles.

    • []F9 = 70

      []F10 = 80

      []F11 = 90

      []F12 = 100

      Added default class weapons loadouts.

      Added more .ini optional files for merging with other mods.

      • []Balanced out most weapons more.

        []Balanced sniperifles damage and spare ammo.

        []Forgot to mention in v1. 1 that squad damage was reduced back to it's original damage.

      The weapons might seem like they're doing a lot more damage but they're mostly not because the damage to most projectile weapons have been reduced from their original damage. The reason why it seems like they're doing more damage is because the weapons are more accurate than what they were originally which was spray cans.

      Also with fully upgraded weapons they will do a lot more damage so take that into account and I haven't touched the stats of upgrades because I haven't figured that part out yet.

      • []Added FOV Options.

        []Longer storm/spinting.

        []Tweaked weapons stats.

        []Laser pistol is now semi-auto with reduced damage.

        []Shotguns have faster ROF (Rate of fire).

        []Balanced spare ammo for some weapons.

        []You can now use up to five weapons of your choice for every class.

        []Reduced squad damage.

        Installation

        Drop the"Game" Folder into your "\Steam\steamapps\common\Mass Effect Legendary Edition" and let it overwrite everything it ask of you.

        There are backup files included in this mod called “FileName – Original.ini” or "Coalesced_INT - Original.bin" so don’t worry about making backups.

        FOV Toggling Keys

        []Numpad 7 = FOV 70 <
