✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-trusted with 185 endorsements and 4,359 downloads.
- Adjustable spawn rate gives you control over battle intensity.
- Draw distance boost means you'll spot infantry from much farther away.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2023 — might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Requires ModOptions to tweak spawn rate, which is an extra dependency.
For Battletech players who want more aggressive and visible infantry on the battlefield. If you're tired of infantry being pushovers or invisible until they're on top of you, this mod adds challenge and immersion. Skip if you prefer vanilla infantry behavior or don't want to fiddle with mod options.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have ModOptions installed and enabled before adding this mod, or the spawn rate adjustment won't work.
- If you're using a mod manager like BattleTech Mod Manager, use it to install and manage load order to avoid conflicts.
- Test the spawn rate at a lower value first (like 10) to see how it affects performance and difficulty before cranking it up.
