Improved Infecteds AI

I was making a mod that improves the Boomer behavior cuz i found him weak and then i thought to myself why not improving all specials?

This mod improves the specials and bosses (Tank & Witch) behavior and makes them more powerfull

I Also have made a seperated versions for each infected, see Improved Infecteds Collection

i dont get the logic behind shotguns and grenade launcher dealing less damage thats not improving the ai. why would you do this to that poor fucking grenade launcher its alredy such an ass weapon.
askvra 26 Jun @ 2:12am 
I modified this mod into a toned-down version here in case someone feels overwhelmed by Chargers and Smokers :steamhappy:

EvilParadise 4 Jun @ 7:31pm 
Man... The Charger and smoker scare me...
The smoker Drag the survivor so fast and the Charger Charges so fast....and I can't react
It's really challenging

I find it annoying the tank does have Luffy arms means extra long range punch, also the leaker is also annoying it blocks the path for atleast 5-8 secs I would suggest removing those and it should be fine playing this. I'm staying with this atm because it does makes it scarier to play.

The perfect mod that complements the Advanced Bot AI mod. Keeps the gameplay fun and intense, both at the same time
