Super Mutant Overhaulord

Super Mutant Ninja Nightkin, Super Mut-NO! NONE OF THAT! SHAME ON YOU!

REQUIRES ALL DLC

This mod goes over all the Super Mutants in the game, giving them several buffs to better represent the fact that they are supposed to be ultimate organisms instead of beefy mooks.

In vanilla, the few Super Mutants you can fight don't really have much going for them, even their HP can be considered to be somewhat unimpressive. Other than rad immunity which is kinda pointless for NPCs, regular muties have a 15 DT bonus, while Nightkin have 15 DR (30 due to an engine bug), 15 crit chance in melee, a somewhat buggy cloaking script, and that's about it. Their main asset, which should be their inmense bulk and strength, actually falls somewhat flat when they actually fight in melee: They don't really have any bonuses over any other regular NPC wielding the same weapons, and when they fight completely unarmed, their defined attack damages are absurdly low for some reason, none going over 6 pts per punch. Plus, due to the devs not really bothering much with tuning the creatures' fatigue values, almost all of them have their maximum stamina set at the default value of 50, which means you can easily knock them out with a few punches when using boxing gloves. There's a lesson about 'roids being bad there, but I've preferred to obviate that.

So what I've done to correct this:

All Super Mutants have a base Stamina of at least 250 points, plus bonuses from their level if it's offset to the player. Fixed level variants have their stamina set as:

• []Grunts: 450

  []Brutes: 650

  []Masters: 900.

• []+15 DT, +30 DR, basically the regular & Nightkin bonuses combined. Watch the bullets bounce off!

  []+25% Energy Resistance, +20% Fire, Electricity & Cold Resistance. They live off the land and can certainly endure it.

  []+25 Melee Damage & +20 Unarmed Damage. You may think you can hit hard, but a Super Mutant will always hit harder.

• They do have a weak point though. Think "Increased Metabolism".
