Consistent & Mitigated Element Influence on Damage
This edit was made by Stygian Emperor based on the original mod, No Elemental Penalties, by CZ47. By default, this reduces elemental penalties & bonuses vs. health, armor, and shields, but does not remove them entirely. It primarily brings TVHM and Mayhem mode in-line with playthrough 1, but shifts the balance subtly to generally make non-elemental and corrosive damage more useful throughout the game.

I made this setup specifically because I did not enjoy swapping weapons constantly against every single non-boss enemy in higher Mayhem levels, but uploaded it in case anyone else wanted an easy way to mess with these numbers.

Elemental Damage Chart
The following shows the damage values in this mod (in all playthroughs and Mayhem levels):


For comparison, the elemental damage values of the unmodded game can be found here.

How to Customize this Mod
The .bl3hotfix file can be edited in a text editor such as Notepad++ to easily alter the influence of elemental damage to your own liking. On each line at the bottom of the files, simply change the last numbers (after the double commas - ",,").
For example,
1.0 = 100% of listed damage (normal), whereas
1.5 = 150% damage (a 50% damage bonus), and 
0.8 = 80%
damage (a 20% damage penalty).

Which numbers you should change on a given line (underlined in red):
