📋 About This Mod
Improves knives and armor across all game modes
This is a simple mod made to improve the game's balancing when it comes to knives and body armor.
I personally found knife durability to be an interesting but jarring mechanic when coming from the original game. Rather than disable it completely, I chose to make knives last longer overall and made upgrades more worthwhile. With this mod, knives should last around 2-3x as long and even longer when upgraded.
Exclusives are also boosted to make each knife (Combat, Fighting, Primal, Tactical, Elite) more valuable when fully upgraded.
Likewise, body armor also lasts much longer, but won't completely tank hits. This should make it more useful with less frequent repairs, without making it overpowered.
Installation Instructions:
