📋 About This Mod
Weapon and armor degradation decrease mod (v130714_1) ====================================================== This mod will increase the durability of all armors and weapons in the game. Changelog & history ====================================================== 7/14/13 (v130714_1) Re-adjusted the values to accurately reflect 4x durability for weapons and 2x for armors. There is only one file now that will apply the affects on all weapons through the game--vanilla and DLC. It also appears that GRA Assault Carbine ironsight glitch has not been fixed, so it will be included in this mod. 10/7/11 (v111007_1) Added support for all available DLC. Temporarily modified 1st person model of GRA Assault Carbine so that its ironsight will not become messed up when the Forged Receiver mod is applied. I will update this mod again to restore it back to the way it was when Bethesda gets their heads out of their asses and patches the bug. 10/26/10 (v1. 2) Further increased the durability of automatic weapons. Increased the degradation of armor and clothing so that it is only twice as durable as original. Quadruple increase of durability for armor seemed too much, as getting hit barely damaged the clothing to the point where it was null, thus breaking the balance. Also slightly buffed Assault Carbine\'s stats. 10/23/10 (v1. 1) Completely reworked the script due to the fact that the previous version wasn\'t doing anything. It definitely works now. All weapons and armors now have four times their original durability. 10/23/10 (v1. 0) All weapons, excluding automatics, have four times their original durability. For automatic weapons, the durability has been increased eight-fold. All armors have four times the durability.
