Artificial's Weapon Enhancements 2.0

UPDATE: Messed up AGAIN. Forgot to include the Projectile config files for both AWE packs but should be fixed now. I'm really sorry about this, guys. Ugghhh...

So, I messed up some with my first weapon enhancement pack. When I was balancing it, I was balancing it on Easy mode because it was simply more convenient. Little did I realize that when you play on Easy mode, the enemy health is reduced to 75% of their original health. So, I had to go back and redo the numbers all over again for Normal mode. However, I did make some more additions to the weapons as well besides just upping the damages in direct proportion to how they should be on Normal as well.

TL;DR - The last weapon enhancement pack I put out was for Easy mode. This is for Normal mode. Also, some new changes to a couple of the weapons since the first pack, namely the Double Shotgun, Assault Rifle, and Minigun.

What you see here before you though, for those of you who are new to this pack, is the AWE 2.0 pack. No DLC or anything needed at all for this to work. Just a copy of SS3: BFE. Basically, one day, I thought the shotguns needed a buff so they would be more viable in the later game. And that actually turned out pretty awesome. So, emboldened by my last changes, I began to change more weapons. And more. Upping their damages mostly and sometimes changing magazine sizes...

In the end, all of the weapons were buffed and rebalanced. So, what is the overall goal of this weapon rebalancing you ask? It is simply to make each weapon more viable in more situations. Basically to make each of them satisfying and elegant tools of destruction. What they were meant to be.

Having said that, these weapons have not been given crazy huge buffs or anything silly like that. All the same, I really hope you enjoy these changes. I know I certainly am now.
