Description
Better Laser Sights script.
Better Explosive Ammo script.
Better Incendiary Ammo script.
Explode and ignite the apocalypse with pinpoint accuracy with these improved upgrades! No more leaving your medkit behind!

This script is intended for players who want more powerful Upgrades that don't eat up the Medkit slot, as well as Incendiary Ammo that doesn't extinguish itself in the blink of an eye, and deadly accurate Laser Sights. Also makes Explosive Ammo appear more frequently!
I gave them some large buffs without making them extremely overpowered.

Don't want them to replace Slot 5? Find the normal version here.

As part of my research I consulted JaiZ's highly detailed table of Vanilla laser sight spawn probabilities in every map, which you can check out here.[docs.google.com]

Don't know where to find laser sights? Check out this guide that includes all possible locations here!


Stat changes (Simple)
*100% chance of at least ONE upgrade to appear per level (whenever possible)
*Increased spawn chance of all upgrades in every level
*Longer lasting fire ammo burn (4 > 30)
*More accurate laser sights
*Reduced deploy time of both ammo upgrades (1.9 > 0.6)
*Both Ammo Upgrades moved to Slot 5 / Small Healing Items slot

Stat changes (Full)
+Increased probability of any upgrade spawning in the map (25% > 100%)
+Increased spawn chance on map (6.48% > 25%)
+Increased incendiary ammo burn duration (4 seconds > 30 seconds)
+Increased laser sights spread reduction bonus (60% > 80%)
+Decreased ammo pack deploy time (1.9 seconds > 0.6 seconds)
+Moved to Slot 5 (Exclusive with Pills and Adrenaline)

I feel like the amount of ammo in those upgrades is not enough to make it worth carrying considering they are still somewhat uncommon, is there any way you could add like 3-4 magazines of upgraded bullets when you grab it?

I feel like upgrades should go in the grenade slot

you know what would be cool? if you could shoot the ground with fire ammo and it lights up the area you shot and can ignite groups of zombies if you walk through

explosive ammo could also maybe stumble infected if you shoot ground

Nothing I can do about that, that's just the nature of addons that change slots.

If it bothers you, you can get the no slot change version of this addon.

Good but AI cant make up their minds if they want either defib, ammo upgrade or temp health.
