Meaner Charger

Description
This add-on uses VSlib, which is compiled with-in itself, the other mods are OPTIONAL. (They're supposed to fully empower The Charger, they're also difficulty increasing mods like this one.)

Makes the Charger considerably stronger by increasing his resistance towards weaponry and melee; his headshot multiplier has been reduced from 4x to 2x damage.

His HP was increased from 600 to 2000, being half of the normal Tank's 4000 HP, but you can change it if you go into the ems folder -> Morschscript -> meaner_charger; the health change must be 2000 or higher otherwise try the Lesser Meaner Charger for lower values.

If you're not skilled enough, or think he is way too strong, try the Lesser Version:

Lesser Meaner Charger

The Charger has doubled dps per difficulty, taking 5 melee attacks to die by melee

Claw Damage per difficulty:

Easy: 5 -> 10

Normal: 10 -> 20

Advanced: 15 -> 30

Expert: 20 -> 40

Pound damage per difficulty:

Easy: 15 -> 15

Normal: 15 -> 30

Advanced: 15 -> 45

Expert: 15 -> 60

His footspeed has been decreased from 250 to 220, about the same as healthy survivor making him more easier to avoid.

If the Charger is burning he'll deal 50% more damage, and the speed decrease will be temporarily disabled for the duration of his burning.

Burning Chargers gain access to a tweaked version of the E3 pummel attack, it deals 100 damage - 300 to incapped - itself on all difficulties, causes stagger in a radius and deals 2 damage to anyone nearby whoever the Charger attacked.

The Charger is able to break doors instantly instead of taking 3 hits to break through a door; you cannot slow down down as easily.

He'll also vocalize his swings like the Tank, allowing Survivors to detect him more easily.

I have also made two extra packets to add either a Grabbing ability or a Swatting ability for the Charger, they're not designed to be used together so pick one of each.

Grabber Charger

Swatting Charger

This one is the RNG counterpart to both, if you can't decide.

Grabbin' 'n Swattin' Charger

The 66% damage reduction while Charging is not patched, considering there is mods on the workshop that touch this aspect there, so i'll recommend these good ones:

Special Infected Synchronization Bundle by Sisyphean

Remove AI Charger Damage Resistance by ChimiChamo

Zero's Behavior Patches by Vincenza

Smarter Infected Pack [V-Script] by Lynch

Improved Charger AI by MANACAT

(Also, this mod is very unfriendly against common speed modulators, do not use both together as the Charger's speed is tied to Common speed thanks to Valve.)

(I am not taking any requests, also be careful with other scripts and mutations as they might break this one.)

This mod is incompatible with:

Super Tanks

Use a local edited version, i don't want reuploads of this add-on particularly.

I'll check it later and provide one myself.

Actually, do you think I could make a version of this mod myself that keeps the old speed? I would credit and link it to you

Changing the charger's speed from 250 to 220 is breaking a bunch of my other mods. It would mean so much if you made a version that kept its old speed

i think its cool

@birdLover8968

If that doesn't bother you to assert, why do you wish for that feature?

I am just curious.

can you please make a version where he'll do the pummel attack even when he's not burning? thanks
