📋 About This Mod
See my new Free Everything mod, I will no longer post updates here or on any of my other free mods. There are optional files for each seperate mod and some free mods I had not released yet.
First and foremost, this is a cheat. Please do not complain about how this is unfair or unbalanced. That is the point.
This mod makes all augments cost 0 materials and all the required research points cost 0.
BACK UP YOUR SAVE
While there should be no reason this will corrupt or invalidate your save file, always back up your save before installing any mod that alters aspects such as this.
Requires Stracker's Loader
To install, go to nativePC in your MHW directory and drop the folder titled "common" into nativePC. If you do not already have a nativePC folder then move the one in my file to your MHW directory.
To uninstall go to nativePC>common>equip and delete customParts.cus_par. (only if you have both free augments and free custom augments) and new_limit_break.new_lb and new_limit_break.new_lbr
If you have any questions or need help, send me a message on Discord zappyjohn#3428 and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
