📋 About This Mod

This is installed with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager.

Overview:

Focusing primarily on weapons, my goal for this mod has been to make Insanity more enjoyable while keeping the game close to vanilla difficulty, and make every weapon viable for all content. All tuning and playtesting was done on Insanity, but this mod can be used on any difficulty. Some concessions of difficulty have been made in favor of fun and variety. In-game text descriptions are unchanged. The Locust SMG was initially used as a baseline for balancing, although the mod has somewhat taken a life of its own over time.

- Nearly every weapon is more accurate and easier to control.

- Reserve ammo is much higher.

- Starting weapons are significantly better, making early game less tedious.

- Weapons are more broadly effective, such as shotguns working outside point blank.

- SMGs are much more accurate, but deal less damage at range than Assault Rifles.

- Follow-up shots with burst weapons and semi-auto snipers are less chaotic.

- Weapons that are generally considered overpowered have not been nerfed.

If you're curious about the specifics of what has changed for each weapon, see this Article.
