I love Bastion. It's one of my favorite power armor mods that makes me feel like I'm actually a walking tank. The issue is, with the default penetration list, and additional weapon mods in my load order, I'm far too tanky. With this mod I have added several additional ammo types from the Vanilla game, the DLC and Munitions to Bastions Penetration formlist in order to sorta balance it out a bit. I didn't just add any random ammo either. I looked at the various ammo irl counterparts to determine if they could potentially penetrate power armor, whether that be anywhere from low, medium to high penetration. Examples include 308 for low penetration, 25mm grenades for medium penetration, and harpoons for high penetration.
Below I will list the ammos I added to each penetration, as well as my reasoning for doing so.
Low Penetration:
308 - 308 isn't exactly a small round. It's not the biggest round either, so I felt it belonged under Low Penetration. I also felt it would allow enemies and the player with high power 308 rifles to do something to power armored individuals.
45-70 and its companion version - 45 -70 is also not a very small round, and is also a round used by high level enemies in Far Harbor, so I felt it only fair that they have better chances against a power armored player.
303 - 303 is comparable in size to the 308 (not exactly the same, but I felt like it was close enough to fall under Low Penetration)
30-06 - 30-06 also isn't a small round, and I needed more ammo types for Low Penetration.
Plasma Cartridges - While not a penetrating ballistic ammo type, I felt plasma would be able to melt power armor, plus, it adds additional interactions between various factions if you add plasma to their tool kit, or even add an entirely new plasma using faction, such as the Enclave. The only reason this isn't higher is because with mods that add plasma to factions like the institute or BOS, having the penetration be in a higher tier would make plasma using npcs way too strong against power armored foes.
Medium Penetration:
25mm Grenades - 25mm Grenades are here because regular grenades are already here by default.
40mm Grenades - Same as above.
High Penetration:
Rockets - Rockets are here because they are rockets. Not hard to see why.
20mm - 20mm are absolutely massive rounds with incredible power, they go here.
Harpoons - Harpoons are high power fast moving objects designed to penetrate strong surfaces. It goes in the High Penetration list for me
Cannonballs - It's a literal cannonball, it goes in the High Penetration list.
This mod requires Munitions and Bastion. I will not make a version for other ammo mods, nor will I make a non-munitions version. Please don't ask.
