Deadlier Vanilla Character Weapons

This mod boosts vanilla weapons and makes them more useful and versatile.

It does not add any new weapons, it modifies the existing ones and the magazines (it also add 2 new ammo type) so you should be able to add and remove the mod whenever you please

I did what i think is a good balance of the weapons so they become useful again in a mostly PVE settings
Let me know what you guys think are they now too powerful or not powerful enough or well balanced?



Pistol S-10(basic): Can now use any pistol magazines and augmented the damage to about the vanilla rifle so it takes about 1.5 magazines to take out an interior turret. The range is still Only 250m

Pistol S-20(rapid fire): Same modifications as the S-10. Reduced the Rate of fire from 1000 to 600 to rebalance it.


Pistol S-10E(elite): Changed the chamber to use all the rifle magazines (including the old 5.56 nato that you still find in interior turrets) except the Elite rifle magazine. No longer use pistol magazines. The damage is the same as the vanilla MR-BP (Precision rifle). And made the aiming more accurate. The range of rifle bullets is 800m.

Rifle MR-20 (basic): Doubled the damage it had. Uses all the rifle magazines except the elite Rifle magazine (MR-30E).

Rifle MR-50A (rapid-fire): Doubled its damage (does slightly less than a regular rifle or MR-BP). Augmented accuracy so it has the same as MR-20. Uses all the rifle magazines except the elite Rifle magazine (MR-30E).

Rifle MR-BP (Precision): Slightly augmented the damage (Same damage as the MR-20), augmented accuracy by a lot. Uses all the rifle magazines except the elite Rifle magazine (MR-30E).


Rifle MR-30E(Elite): Changed the chamber and can no longer use the old 5.56 ammo it can use only the MR-30E Magazine. Modified its magazine: it needs more resources to produce (same as Autocannon magazine) And has fewer bullets (16 instead of 30). But you get about the same damage per bullet as an autocannon (about 12X the vanilla rifle).
Slightly increased the accuracy. No longer shoot in bursts of 3 but 1 (like the precision rifle MR-BP)

Launcher R0-1 (Basic): Slightly increased hip firing accuracy and increased aimed accuracy by 10 (same aimed accuracy as the vanilla PR0-1). A new type of ammo can also be used: The handheld assault shell: it's an assault cannon shell that has been modified to not have any kickback. (Range of shell 1400m range of missile 800m)

Launcher PR0-1 (Advanced): Slightly increased hip firing accuracy and increased aimed accuracy by 2. A new type of ammo can also be used: The handheld Railgun slug: it's a small grid railgun sabot that has been modified to not have any kickback.: To use the Railgun slug the launcher needed an internal power supply. So instead of using platinum in the construction of the launcher, it uses uranium (Range of Slug 1400m range of missile 800m)




After the warfare patch 1, I found the new character weapons performance very lacking.

The pistols were a waste of cargo space: They did no damage: you needed 5 magazines to destroy an interior turret while you were standing on top of them. (they have a max range of 250 m)
Until I made this mod I did not see the model of the pistols since they came out. A quick test back then told me they were garbage and never picked them up. I was surprised by the nice design of the models

The rifles were nerfed and did less damage: The only useful one when assaulting an NPC base/grid was the rapid-fire rifle since the magazine is bigger, and you can use the ammo from inside the interior turrets.

With the missile launchers, you could not hit the broadside of a static barn at 800m. never mind a moving cruiser, as for a small grid moving drone you need to be on top of it. at that point might as well use a grinder: it takes a lot less space

And at the same time, they made the interior turrets more accurate against players (and less against wolves)

Add to that I normally use MES which sometimes adds small problems like a no-drills zone, electrocute grinders, no jetpack etc. Making an assault on an NPC base/grid by foot suicidal.

Time to tip the scale back!
