About this mod
Gives NPCs, especially Bandits including Rais' Flunkies, a much better weaponry variety after Level 25 instead of being only an ugly Shortsword.

- Overview/Description -
If you have (re)played Dying Light while taking note at the Bandits, you may have noticed that they all have veeeeery static weapon choices, they change when you level up and can be different, but later levels, they are far from different.
"Bandits" include Rais' Flunkies and even Survivors you get to save or talk to in random events.
At Survivor Level 25, all the Bandits will be using a Shortsword, sometimes a Khopesh and no other weapon whatsoever.
This really bothered me a lot, so I wanted to fix it and fix it I did.
- Details -
Starting at Survivor Level 25 (This so to avoid possible progression consistency errors), Bandits will have a very diverse weapon set instead of simply being only a Shortsword.
They have equal chances of having...5 Machete Variants, 1 Baton Variant, 5 Shortaxe Variants, 1 Crowbar Variant, 5 Pick Variants, 2 Hammer Variants, 1 Baseball Variant, 3 Reed Knife Variants, 1 Shortsword Variant, 4 Khopesh Variants.
There's also a "Bandit Leader", in which case they have equal chances of having...5 Machete Variants, 2 Shortaxe Variants, 1 Sickle Variant, 4 Pick Variants, 2 Shortsword Variants (this should include the beautiful Sipahi Saber), 2 Khopesh Variants.
"Gaas Soldiers", which appear randomly in Old Harran after a DLC update, are a bit unique and only come with one Machete variant, I gave them more...4 Machete Variants, 1 Baton Variant, 1 Military Shovel Variant, 3 Shortaxe Variants, 2 Hammer Variants, 4 Pick Variants, 1 Sickle Variant.
Just for fun, the "Escorts" may have a chance of going around with a Machete as well as the vanilla formula they have.
NOTE: If you pick weapons from dead human enemies, this mod might not be for you. However, the weapon changes will appear at Survivor Level 25 with the assumption that you've already got the best gear Level 25 can offer.
Also, it seems that a later update separated the Weapon Probability Pools between Survivor and Bandit, so Survivors have a very diverse weapon set compared to Bandits. In which case, I make no changes to the Survivor pools.
- INSTALLATION -
MUST BE DONE MANUALLY.
Go to where your Dying Light is installed, for example if it's Steam it should be at "C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Dying Light\DW"
In the folder you are at, "DW", you should see "Data3.pak", open this with WinRAR, WinZIP or 7Zip, your preference.
Simply move this mod's "data" folder into this "Data3.pak" file.
- Terms of Usage -
Do whatever you want because a modder is free, you are a modder! (Aren't you?)
It's a simple script change, anybody can do it, I did it without any prior knowledge in scripting. So, do whatever you want with it, credit me or don't.
No need to ask me for permission.
