Purpose Of The Puppets is a gameplay mod that manipulates spawn lists to add or duplicate enemies, increasing spawn count by about 40% by default. It aims to make the game one level harder than Pro difficulty. Suitable for players seeking a moderate challenge increase without extreme difficulty spikes.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 40% more enemies is a solid bump—noticeable but not overwhelming.
- Keeps the original enemy variety, so no lore-breaking additions.
- Lightweight mod—just spawn list tweaks, so performance hit is minimal.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 70 endorsements—small user base, so less community feedback.
- Last updated in 2022—might not be compatible with newer game patches.
- No config options mentioned—you're stuck with the default 40% increase.
This is for players who find Pro difficulty too easy but aren't ready for hardcore overhauls. If you want a straightforward difficulty bump without changing core mechanics, this mod delivers. It's also great for veterans looking to refresh their playthrough with more combat encounters.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod increases spawns by 40%, stock up on ammo and health before entering combat-heavy areas.
- If you're playing on Pro difficulty, expect a significant challenge—consider lowering difficulty if you're struggling.
- Check the mod's page for any compatibility notes with other gameplay mods you might be using.
