Rebalanced RAMPART-17 (jkninethree)

---

Description

This mod rebalances the Rampart-17 by jkninethree to better fit into the vanilla Starfield weapon ecosystem.

The weapon has been redesigned around a heavier hitting battle rifle philosophy, focusing on high damage output, strong recoil, and a more powerful overall weapon feel. The goal is to keep the weapon impactful and satisfying to use, while bringing it closer in line with vanilla weapon progression and avoiding excessively overpowered stats.

Tier progression has also been reworked to better support the full game experience:

• []Tier 1 and Tier 2 are intended for Early Game progression (Level 1-27)[/]

  []Tier 3 and Tier 4 are designed around Mid Game balance (Level 27-40)[/]

  []Tier 5 and Tier 6 are balanced for End Game progression (Level 40-60+)[/]

This allows the weapon to scale more naturally throughout the game without falling behind or becoming excessively dominant too early.

No Changes were required for Leveled List Integration and only Stats were adjusted.

  Recommended Mods

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

    []Starshake Visual Recoil (really elevates the feeling of a hefty, chonky weapon)[/]

    []Realistic Recoil (makes Recoil feel way more impactful by not recentering crosshairs anymore!) [/]

    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.
