📋 About This Mod
This mod is now included in the LE1 Community Patch so you no longer need to install this mod if you have the community patch.
Master Overkill (Level 12 Assault Rifle Talent) doesn't work. This mod fixes it. Bioware changed the talent from:
Master Overkill (ME1)
Firing rifles generates 60% less heat, costs 40% less accuracy.
Duration: 15s.
Recharge Time: 45s.
Master Overkill (LE1)
Only available when using assault rifles.
Firing assault rifles generates no heat and does 100% more damage.
Purges weapon heat on use.
Duration: 6s.
Recharge Time: 45s
The problem is that changing the talent to -100% heat generation puts it at 0 in the 2da tables and 0 = disabled
So that's why it doesn't work so I changed it to 0. 01 which is 99%. At 99% it doesn't heat up at all so basically 99% = 100%
Installation:
Install with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager by Mgamerz

Put Your Guns Down (LE1) - Uninstall this if you're using Legendary Cutscenes its already included.
Pistols For Combat Cutscenes (LE1) - Uninstall this if you're using Legendary Cutscenes. PFCC was my first attempt at cutscenes. I may hide this one now.
Thank you so much to everyone in the Mass Effect Modding and ME3Tweaks Discord channels. You all were so helpful and inspired me to start making mods.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Directly addresses a broken talent—if you've been frustrated by Master Overkill not working, this is your fix.
- Small and focused, so it won't bloat your mod list or cause conflicts.
- Community-tested with 108 endorsements, so it's likely reliable.
⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's file structure—if it's a .pak file, place it in the game's Content/Paks folder.
- If you're using a mod manager like ME3Tweaks, try importing the mod there for easier management.
- Make sure you're playing the Legendary Edition, not the original Mass Effect, as this mod is LE1-specific.
