About this mod

A rebalance of many gameplay aspects for a more challenging experience.

Changelogs
Features implemented in version 2.02:
  • Weapon-dependent ammo spawns have been disabled. The result of this is that ammo is much less abundant.
  • The two 9mm ammo types have been consolidated and a new 7.62x39mm ammo type has been introduced. This required some minor changes to the in-game text, hence why the mod language is in English.

Additional features implemented in version 2.10:
  • Weapon and ammo stats have been adjusted to reflect real-life firearm ballistics and magazine capacities. Naturally, pistol caliber weapons are much less powerful than rifles. Keep this in mind when your Möller PP seems frustratingly ineffective.
  • New weight values have been assigned to every weapon and ammo type. The Granatgevär m/49, for example, can be an incredibly effective weapon, but both it and the ammunition it uses are very cumbersome.
  • Recoil values have been adjusted according to ammunition type and weapon weight, and recoil recovery has been disabled. Certain weapons will require you to fight their recoil, and fully automatic fire is significantly less useful.
  • Difficulty modifiers have been adjusted. Adventure allows you to play like Rambo, but you may often find yourself running out of ammo. Skirmish is the recommended way to play and offers a brutal difficulty that incentivises the use of stealth and traps. Guerrilla makes enemies incredibly lethal, durable and aware for an actual nightmare experience.

Optional features (compatible with both main file versions):
  • First aid kit healing values are changed from 25/50/75 to 10/20/30. They also take twice as long to apply.


Features being worked on:
  • (Optional) Instant kill protection is disabled.
  • (Optional) Greater quantities of ammo can be found within loot containers.
  • (Optional) Loot containers never respawn.

Other things I'd like to do, but may or may not end up happening:
  • A rebalance of ammo crafting according to real-life reloading data.
  • A rebalance of ammo spawns reflecting greater plausibility in where ammo is found and in what quantities.

The intended result of all of these changes is for combat to provide a greater challenge and for stealth to become a more essential tool for survival. Please let me know what you think of the experience this mod provides as there are many ways that I could alter or build upon what I have here.

To install, just drop the 'dropzone' folder into your game folder (where GenerationZero_F.exe is located). Keep in mind that Generation Zero needs a special launch argument to load mods:

--vfs-fs dropzone --vfs-archive archives_win64/initial --vfs-archive archives_win64/supplemental --vfs-archive archives_win64/optional
