Forgotten Weapons - Kraken and Rattler Buffed

Description

This mod buffs the Kraken and Rattler to make them more viable within the vanilla Starfield weapon ecosystem.

Both weapons have been adjusted to better compete with other sidearms.

The goal is not to make them overpowered, but to bring them up to a level where they feel worth using throughout the game.

Changes

• []Increased overall damage output[/]

  []Improved combat effectiveness in mid to late game[/]

  []Adjusted values to better fit vanilla balancing[/]

  []Increased Recoil and made them Similar to Realistic Recoil Mod[/]

  Compatibility

  This mod only modifies weapon stats.

  It should be compatible with most mods, except those that directly alter the Kraken or Rattler.

  Recommended Mods

  • []Balanced Ballistics (recommended for a more consistent overall weapon balance across Starfield)[/]

    []Starshake Visual Recoil (enhances the feeling and feedback of weapon handling)[/]

    []Realistic Recoil (makes recoil more impactful by preventing crosshair recentering)[/]

    []And of course Hefty Rattler my sound replacer mod for the Rattler![/]

    This mod takes inspiration from Balanced Ballistics in terms of general balancing philosophy, so using it alongside will result in a more cohesive and grounded combat experience while still staying close to vanilla gameplay.
