Uncr0wnable Witch

The Witch will no longer be killed in 1 shot by shotguns at close range. It does not increase her health.
It now deals around 200 to 250 damage to her, depending if all pellets hit her or not, making point blank shotgun shots take around 5 to 7 hits to kill her. This effectively reduces the damage of shotguns against Witches specifically, no other infected is affected.

Wandering Witches are able to be killed before being fully startled, like on Realism Easy/Normal mode, but won't die instantly like on Easy - Expert. This is because of their scream animation - it's long enough that it gives players enough time to shoot 5 to 7 times into her with an auto or spas shotgun, although it's impossible to do with tier 1 shotguns, even with the shoving trick. Sitting Witches are not able to be killed that way unless you do the jumping trick, as they always hit the survivor before dying, and do not have a "startle animation" unlike the Wandering Witch.



I made this mod because I hate the cr0wning mechanic, I think an enemy that is meant to be avoided (literally designed that way) should at the very least be a threat or danger, not a minor inconvenience. Surprisingly nobody else made a mod like this, I wanted to keep this for myself originally but went ahead and uploaded it to the workshop for those who want a more threatening Witch. Works well for people who want a Witch with default health but still resist being instakilled by those that think they're pros for spamming tier 2 shotguns onto the stationary target.


Known Bug:
If you walk up to the side or back of the Wandering Witch, and shoot as soon as you're in the "crowning range", she will die in one shot. This does not happen for the Sitting Witch or to the front of the Wandering Witch in my testing. However, if you take your time and get close to the Wandering Witch from any direction, she won't die instantly when you shoot. It's a little difficult to pull off and has a somewhat strict timing, so this can be either a bad thing or a good thing (skill & reaction time). Again, you have to be really close to her, basically touching distance and shoot instantly before she screams and she will die instantly. Valve seemingly coded it so the Witch gets instakilled no matter what health she has by shotguns if you shoot inside her. So noclipping inside her and shooting will still kill her, but normally you can't get stuck inside her so it's fine.
