Lethal Weapon Rebalance v0.8 Experimental Updated

A complete weapon damage rebalance for SurrounDead. All weapon classes, shotguns, SMGs, snipers and legendary guns get new balanced multipliers. Enhances gameplay feel without breaking difficulty, delivering a more rewarding combat

IMPORTANT NOTE:

• []This mod significantly increases weapon damage multipliers. If you want a tougher or more balanced experience, I strongly recommend lowering ammo/loot spawn chances in the game’s settings to match your playstyle. Powerful weapons + scarcer ammo = more tactical, rewarding gameplay.

  []This mod only affects weapons found or spawned after the mod is installed. It will not update the stats of weapons already in your inventory or storage.

This mod overhauls every weapon class in SurrounDead to deliver a more satisfying, consistent and loot-driven combat experience. It doesn’t turn everything into god-tier, but gives each class a clear role and a noticeable power boost. LMGs, marksman rifles, shotguns and legendary weapons in particular finally feel as special in gameplay as they look on paper.

---

LMG – Feels like a heavy machine gun now (2. 5x)LMGs were already heavy and clunky with big mags, but their vanilla damage didn’t really match that identity.

With this mod, LMG damage is increased by 2. 5x.

• []High magazine size + strong but controlled damage boost

  []Still heavy and full auto, but now the damage actually compensates for the downsides

  []Against groups, choosing an LMG becomes a real, meaningful option

---

Marksman – Mid-range specialists (2. 5x)Marksman rifles sit between ARs and snipers as tactical mid/long-range weapons.

In vanilla they were “okay”, but with this mod they get a 2. 5x damage multiplier.

• []Slower than ARs, but with a much more impactful shot

  []Far more reliable at mid to long range engagements

  []Players who like precision and headshots will feel the difference immediately

---

AR / Rifles – The balanced core class (2. 0x)ARs are the backbone of most builds and fit into almost any situation. The idea here is not to turn them into monsters, but to give them a meaningful yet balanced buff.

• []Damage is raised to 2. 0x

  []They keep their “works everywhere” identity, but shots feel more impactful

  []Whether you spray or tap fire, you’ll feel the boost without the game falling apart

---

SMG – High RPM, sane damage (1. 5x)SMGs are all about rate of fire. Their power comes more from how they handle than raw per-shot damage.

That’s why SMGs get a 1. 5x damage multiplier.

• []Because of their very high RPM, anything higher would melt everything too fast

  []Strong and fluid at close range, but not a brainless delete button

  []Great for spray & pray players who still want some balance

---

Shotgun – Finally hits like a shotgun (2. 5x)On paper, shotguns were fine; in practice they often felt underwhelming.

With this mod, their damage is pushed to 2. 5x.

• []Shots feel weighty and impactful

  []In close-quarters fights they now perform in line with their fantasy

  []Strong and satisfying without turning into a one-click wipe tool

---

Sidearm – Backup weapon that actually matters (1. 5x)Pistols in SurrounDead often ended up as pure “last resort only”.

This mod gives sidearms a 1. 5x damage multiplier.

• []Swapping to your pistol when you’re out of ammo or cornered now actually makes sense

  []No longer just something you carry “because you found it”; it becomes a real backup option

  []Still doesn’t replace your primary weapon, it stays in its support role

---

Sniper – Don’t touch the sniper fantasy (5x)Sniper rifles keep their identity fully intact – just sharper.

All snipers get a 5x damage multiplier.

• []High risk / high reward feel is preserved

  []When you land a shot, the target really pays for it

• Even legendary snipers are capped at 5x, so they stay powerful without completely breaking the game

---

Explosives – Rocket & Grenade Launcher (1. 75x)Explosive weapons (rocket launcher + grenade launcher) are fun but can easily become overpowered.

So they get a controlled 1. 75x damage boost.
