Rebalanced Elysium AKM (510deshawn)

Description

This mod rebalances the Elysium AKM by 510deshawn to better fit into the vanilla Starfield weapon ecosystem.

This Assault Rifle has been adjusted to align with a more grounded and consistent balance philosophy, inspired by mods such as Balanced Ballistics, while still preserving the original vision.

The Elysium AKM now fills a more defined role as a hard-hitting rifle with noticeable recoil, rewarding controlled fire and positioning rather than raw spray.

This makes the weapon feel more natural alongside other rifles throughout the game, without breaking overall combat balance, while maintaining its identity.

No changes were made to leveled list integration, only weapon stats have been adjusted.

Requirements

• []Elysium AKM by 510deshawn[/]

  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)[/]

    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.

    Compatibility

    Leveled lists have not been modified. The original mod integrates the weapon via script, which makes this rebalance compatible with other mods that alter leveled lists.

    Incompatible with any mod that directly modifies the Elysium AKM weapon stats.
