I don't know if it's an error or a bug but in the Interloper chapter it has an unfair difficulty rush that was not seen in all the previous chapters, and Nihilanth is ez

@LaEllie2012 Yeah, Nihilanth Is pretty easy still, i'm still figuring out a way to make it more challenging without going too far away from the source material.
About Interloper, Since it is a big chapter, in Which sections/maps did you find struggles?
Thanks for the feedback!

@PorscheTurbo in the elevator part, all the aliens controller attack you at the same time, so it's almost impossible to get past him because of the damage they do.

There are a couple tricks you can do to go through that part more easily, I dont think it's that difficult if you follow them together:

-Utilizing the Pillar in the middle of the elevator is key. It's your only cover during the ascension. It protects most of the damage if you manage to bait the controllers' attack to hit the pillar.

-Be aware of their attacks' timing: Since they are gonna attack from every direction, it is good to be aware that while you are killing the ones in front of you, the ones behind you will be shooting at you. if you get the timings right, you can shoot in front for a bit, run away from the attacks that you know will be coming from behind, then attack the ones behind, repeat.

-Know how the attacks work: You probably already know how their "balls" work. They get stuck in the surface they hit and stay there a while, dealing damage. If you get hit, move or you will just take more damage!

-(Obviously it becomes much easier if you kill most before they can even throw their attacks at you)

I'm gonna upload my Commentary Run soon.

It is not as easy as you say, they not only attack you from the front, but also from both sides, and the problem is not their spheres but the acid tanks that damage you no matter if they are in front, behind or on the sides. There is a specific part where you cannot kill them one by one, since the elevator goes down and they are all together waiting for you, in my case, since I did not have a vest and it does not regenerate, they killed me with 2 hits (sorry if I have spelling mistakes, my native language is not English). Also i love the rest of the mod

Your english is fine! The acid tanks trigger a really distinct noise when they spawn so that you can react to them before being thrown at you, and they can be instantly destroyed with the gluon gun before they can even throw it, so you never get hit by them!

I am not saying that this section is easy compared to the rest of the mod, i think it has its challenges, but i definitely think you can do it with the proper strategies. I'm loving the feedback i'm getting of the mod!

UPDATE: Old Cleansuit Model no longer in original file, you can now either use HEV viewmodel or download the Cleansuit viewmodel seperately.

The Hard difficulty will remain as the Nightmare difficulty in spite of suggestions to change to Easy. (Reasoning: Some NPC actions are different in Hard. Besides that, switching difficulty only alters the Damage Dealt/Taken of the player, the rest of the difficulty changes of nightmare remain, which means that with Nightmare mode installed, you can only play nightmare mode regardless of which difficulty you choose (you are still recomended to choose the difficulty intended for the mod for every feature to work as intended)

So while this barnacle isn't mandatory, I'd also suggest removing the barnacle in front of the barricaded office doorway in Office Complex that holds the male and female scientists. This is so you can still get the scientist to come with you as it's currently impossible to access that area with that barnacle in the way. The barnacle doesn't really add anything in terms of difficulty anyways since you do have to go out of your way to get her, and on top of that you can normally just look up and kill it with your crowbar.

Hey, wasup!

Ty for the find. yeah, i wasn't really concerned too much with alternative pathings when i was testing the mod out.

I'm not that active in the mod anymore but for sure seems reasonable to remove that one as well. When I see myself meddling with the mod again, i'll deal with that as well as try to see if there is some new way to make the barnacle in my original vision.

Thanks again
