Better Ballistics Mutant Rebalanced

This mod IS MADE to be USED with Better Ballistics - Hardcore Gunplay Overhaul[www.nexusmods.com] to function PROPERLY, it can be installed by itself, but I can't guarantee a balanced experience.
This mod is specifically designed to enhance and rebalance the mutant combat for players using Better Ballistics, as mutants can feel too easy with that mod alone.

This mod functions to make Better Ballistics have more engaging and tougher combat against mutants. It merges the excellent concepts from AniHVX's Modular Hard Mod[www.nexusmods.com] with his abilities and balance changes to ensure mutants are a credible threat. I just ported and tweaked it for 1.5, and to work with Better Ballistics.

The majority of mutants are no longer simple pushovers. They have improved damage, new abilities, and rebalanced health pools that encourage tactical gameplay. If you felt mutants went down too easily with your enhanced ballistics, this mod restores the danger and provides a proper challenge. It might be wise to bring stimulants with you... just in case.

• Chimera: Slower and less erratic, encouraging direct, tactical fights. It's less armored but has more health, rewarding headshots with hollow-point rounds.
  
• Controller: A potent psychic threat whose attacks now knock you down and are used more often. Less armored but tougher, making it a high-priority target.
  
• Burer: Its telekinesis is rebalanced; it shields more often and throws more weapons. Less armored overall, making headshots critical.
  
• Pseudogiant: Throws a larger barrage of objects and its ground stomp now excels at piercing armor. Vulnerable to direct fire, especially headshots.
  
• Poltergeist: Now a master of telekinetic bombardment, throwing many more objects that can knock you down. Less durable but has more health.
  
• Pseudodog: A new psychic threat with a damaging aura and psy-clones. Faster and more dangerous, especially on higher difficulties.
  
• Bloodsucker: More unpredictable, now flanks you with armor-piercing attacks that cause heavy bleeding. Faster and less predictable than before.
  
• Cat (Bayun): No longer a minor pest. Its attacks deal significantly more damage and cause severe bleeding. It is much faster and more durable.
  
• Blind Dog: A greater threat in packs, moving considerably faster and hitting harder.
  
• Boar: Faster, tougher, and can now knock you down with both charge and running attacks, making it a serious physical threat.
  
• Flesh: Minorly buffed with more health, speed, and armor penetration to remain a threat in the mid-to-late game.
  
• Deer: More aggressive with its charge attack. Its armored body is highly resilient, making headshots the only viable tactic.
  
• Snork: Faster and more agile pack hunters. Their attacks pierce armor more effectively, but they are more vulnerable to gunfire.
  
• Rodent (Tushkano): A major bleed threat. While their direct damage is low, their frequent, armor-piercing bites can quickly drain your health.
