Weapon Balance Overhaul


This mod aims to bring all standard weapons up to a (reasonably) usable level. Many of
the early game guns in the game are quickly left behind in damage output or don’t
even have an Advanced version available.

This will also drastically improve full-auto DPS compared to semi-auto weapons but
still leaves semi-auto in a good place to be effective.

Aim models and recoils have been adjusted so hitting all your shots in full-auto will
be more difficult with ballistic weapons, while lasers are much more stable in any firing
mode.

Most weapons have had levels adjusted they will show
up to take into account these differences. Prices on guns with
significant damage changes are also changed accordingly.
