📋 About This Mod

This is mostly a test mod to get used to the modding tools for Mechwarrior 5, but I figured I would put it up here anyway.

Most of the Cantina Traits have just been doubled in effectiveness and had their slot sizes/install times modified to all be the same-

1 Day Installs

1000 CBills

Free Uninstalls

If the list of Traits fills up and won't let you add more, right clicking on a Trait you want to add will still work.

Note: I have been particurally annoyed by the difficulty in actually not overheating in this game, so the Increased Cooling trait has been increased to 25% and Heat Reduction to 20% from their original values, and may be further changed later.

I am open to suggestions for alternative versions of this Mod.

Built to work with the latest version of MW5 including DLC1, 2 and 3.

This mod WILL make your game feel easier with all the traits unlocked, I highly reccomend some more challenging mods alongside this one and let me know what your experience is like - the intention is to feel like the Cantina traits are worthwhile to aim for and make a noticable difference compared to early game when you don't have them, while also not requiring a year and millions of Cbills to install them to your new Mech.

Also works with any mod that doesn't alter the Cantina Perks themselves, Cantina Unlockers may or may not work but anything that doesn't mess with the Cantina system should be completely compatible.
