Description

!!Some users are reporting a bug where Prestige XP exceeds the limit, preventing them from advancing to the next Prestige level.

If possible, please Level up Prestige beforehand so that your XP is reset before applying the mod.

You can either remove all mods before Leveling up Prestige.

or, if that doesn't work,

I have uploaded a zip file link containing the solution to the post page.

Mod Feature

1.  You can choose between the original version and the 100 XP version.

The 100 XP version is designed for use with The Ultimate Availabilty, so it does not apply to certain skills for users of the original version; further updates for original version users are planned.

In addition to the 100 XP version, I also plan to upload a version that moderately reduces XP requirements, as some users feel the 100 XP version disrupts the game's progression experience.

2. Weapon skills increase accuracy by 20% per level.

3. The following skills improved by 20% per level:

- Old Man's Medical Skill

- Shaman and Bagman's Bag Skill

The following skills improved by 10% per level:

- Scav Girl and Shaman's Sprint Skill

- Common Stamina Skill

1. 1 Oldman's PackMule Availability skill also allows users to use the Rack rig.  I’ve added the Rig availabilty skill for Maskman, Oldman, ScavGirl, and Shaman to The Ultimate Availabilty 1. 2, so I recommend using them together.  -2026. 8. 14

1. 3 Fixed an issue where the Carry Capacity skill was not working. The Carry Capacity skill works correctly. Ignore the maximum weight indicator at the bottom right; instead, focus only on the weight and volume displayed on the Rig. The numbers shown at the bottom right of the screen are not accurate.

1. 4  Fixed an issue where the Carry Capacity skill was not working

[]Adjusted the Carry Capacity skill RIG weight capacity bonus to 20%. [/]

[]Updated the base inventory weight display to match the new capacity. [/]

[]Removed the volume capacity bonus, as it does not properly apply during missions.[/]

[]Also applied this feature to SCAM 100xp version

The skill effect is deactivated if you select other characters. To fix this, select the character with the skill again, then return to the main menu and come back.
