Replaces Moze's tier-4 Demolition Woman passive skill, Why Can't I Carry All These Grenades?, with a skill that is actually useful to her at high levels: Reactive Armor, which increases Moze's and Iron Bear's resistance to splash, fire, and radiation damage - including self-damage.
Reactive Armor Resistance By Rank
Refer to the following chart for the skill's actual numbers, as, due to a current limitation of hotfix-modding, the splash resistance claimed by the skill card varies slightly from the value displayed in-game (except for at rank 3):

Ranks above 3 can only be legitimately attained through the Grenadier class mod.
(From my testing, it seems like the splash and other elemental resistances stack when hit by an elemental AoE, though I'm not sure whether that's additively.)
Changelog
- (11/22/2021): Uploaded Reactive Armor - 60% Resistance Branch as a miscellaneous alternative file for this mod, dramatically increasing the resistances provided by the skill. Made by request.
- (8/13/2021): Uploaded Iron Bear - No Self Damage to the Nexus as an optional file for this mod. It does not require the Reactive Armor mod to function.
- v1.0.1 (7/29/21): The stats increase more satisfyingly per rank, and the skill card's claim that your splash resistance is only double your fire/rad resistance until rank 3 is more accurate. Initial Nexus release.
- v1.0.0 (7/26/21): Initial release.
New Optional File (8/13/2021) - Iron Bear - No Self Damage
Makes Iron Bear/Iron Cub deal no self-damage, so it can have even a chance to use its splash weapons, especially at higher mayhem levels. I don't know why this isn't how it works by default.
Does not require the Reactive Armor mod.

"Really Cool" Bonus Prize
Send me a link to a YouTube video containing the origin of this skill's flavor text (italic text after the description in your skill tree) in the comments to this file, alongside a screenshot uploaded here of the skill being shown in your in-game skill tree, and I'll allocate 10% of all the Donation Points this mod receives from that point on to you! It's probably going to be chump change!
(the points will come from my portion, not Grimm's; and the prize only goes to the first comment with the correct answer as long as the in-game screenshot is also uploaded)
