Version 2.2 - Small features and fixes

Broken Wings) Fixed a broken visual in the mosque
The Power of the Underworld) Fixed a broken visual in an unused area and added slightly more ammo in the first yard
Gathering of the Gods) Added more ammo and 3 Serious-only enemies that were accidentally deleted
Together Forever) Added more ammunition all throughout, fixed a floating model, reinstated reflections in the lake and fixed a typo in the secret text messages (Thanks to Biomechanoid for support!)

Modder's note: All ammo balance tests for this mod are clean starts on each difficulty aiming for max kills, with no progression carried over from previous levels and no secret weapons or secret ammo collected. My goal was to maintain around 40-60% ammo for each weapon, except in specific moments meant to balance the fights. Typically, I ended levels with around 50+% ammo or even fully stocked in some cases.

I believe the numerous ammo requests stem from not knowing enemy placements well enough and being used to mods with pseudo-infinite ammo pickups. Redux aims for balance and is not one of those "everything-fest" mods. If you find the mod lackluster in terms of ammo, even with my new additions for beginners, try playing on Hard mode first to understand the ammo and enemy economy.

Version 2.0 - Jewel of the Nile and Coop rework

Jewel of the Nile

Added a separate campaign for Redux: Jewel of the Nile - (The DLC waters down the experience of the original campaign and halts the pace with an extra weapon reset. You can still play the chronologically using manual saves)
DLC #1) Gathering the Gods - As the map is very small, this level should not drag for too long while still having a fun exploring side to it. It's now much faster paced, shacks are open from the start and the Cannon can now be grabbed from the island secret. The level provides a lot more ammo and proper support for the Sniper and a new secret Laser; patrolling enemies are removed and it's much easier to get 100% kills like the rest of Redux. Other fixes involves floating rocks/crates and a semi-broken werebull spawner;
DLC #2) Together Forever - The biggest flaw of this level is a huge map that feels empty and devoid of structures, enemies, pickups and secrets; this and of course the puzzle rooms. This level now has a couple of new structures, double the enemy count, a lot of ammo, health and armor pickups and instead of the usual +2 secrets I've added +10 for this level alone to bolster exploration. A new secret allows you to skip as many puzzle rooms as possibile, despite adding searchlights in a couple of them for those who want to do them;
DLC #3) Born Again - A solid level from the start, I've simply made some adjustments to the combat to slightly reduce the emphasis on the Sniper/Laser combo (as Redux already had tons of Sniper/Laser action anyway) to have more Minigun/Cannon action. The boss is the only one in Redux where I didn't feel adding resistances or extra health as it's already quite dull as it is.

Coop rework

Coop was polished to flow better in each level instead of just having random enemies thrown here and there;
Each coop level now has +200 enemies regardless of difficulty (the first level of the campaign and the DLC have +100 for pacing purposes);
The "hidden items" gimmick was scrapped entirely (it consisted in extra ammo and weapons being hidden nearby existing secret areas);
Introducing 'Supply Drops': extra pickups that spawn regularly on the main path to compensate for the extra enemies;
The original secret weapons for any given level are now available on the main path through Supply Drops;
Many Cooperative Secrets were revamped and they now contain early access to Weapons to speed up the pace;
For a full secrets location, including the new coop ones, please watch my updated guide: https://youtu.be/w0bnO2zyGG8
