About this mod
Rebalances the overpowered (broken) chaingun shield mod. (Now works with Update 6.66)
- Permissions and credits
Issue :
The base chaingun shield has whopping 600 health points, lasting up to 6 seconds (degenerates by one hundred a second and from enemy damage). Even with enemy damage it can last at least 3 or 4 seconds on average, which is still unbalanced because the cool down is only 4 seconds as well. This means that by constantly spamming the shield you will have invincibility to most attacks half the time! The large time window also allows you to dash spam heavy demons into faltering. Lastly the shield allows you to casually walk on toxic slime, lava, and negate fire / electrical damage entirely. All of this makes this mod very unbalanced, and this is certainly not my lone opinion.
Solution :
Three versions available :
Result :
The chaingun shield is now used more reflexively, like dashing. It is much better incorporated into the gameplay loop, instead of being a crutch.
Installation :
Updating with mods :
Removal :
Simply delete or move thismod.zip from your Mods folder and run EternalModInjector.bat again

Solution :
- Shield health reduced from 600 to 300 / 150, changing the duration to 3 / 1.5 second maximum.
- Damage required to launch shield reduced to 50 / 25% to compensate.
- Cool down remains the same.
- Shield no longer blocks most environmental damage (electrical arcs, fire, lava, slime, etc.) but still blocks explosive barrels and fall damage.
Three versions available :
- Original version : 150 health / 1.5 seconds.
- Version B : 300 health / 3 seconds.
- Version C : 300 health / 1.5 seconds.
