Changelogs
Version 1.1
* Modes
Removed penalties on higher difficulty:
limited ammo crates
armor regen delay
dodge invulnerability
perfect dodge window
riposte window penalty
health/armor penalty
Operations and story should be playable by up to 4 players
Appart from easy mode where it's infinite, all other difficulty mode have an incapacitation limit of 3 (so 3 lives for the team)

* Characters
All classes (and story characters) have at least 3 armor segments
Bulwark and Heavy have 4
* Weapons
tl;dr: changed stuff, damage the same as before, no issues with pvp
Weapons damage normalized back to vanilla, so that even if someone has the mod somehow in pvp for example, damage is the same.
Using another system to have separate pve weapon stats, with around 50% more damage to bolt weapons, combined with 50% less health on enemies, it's the same 3x damage as vanilla as in the previous version

A rebalance of some parts of the game, intended mainly for operations, although there might be some overlap with the story. Was mainly intended for me to have fun with friends, but I might as well share.
Quick overview:
A lot more enemies spawn
Guns hit a lot harder, around 3x for bolt, 2x for the rest compared to vanilla
A lot more ammo for those guns
Plasma, melta and power weapons break through guard, thunder hammer when charged too
Heavy Bolt Rifle fire slowly and very hard
Bolt Pistol fires in full auto
Melee weapons also hit harder, 3x for most, 4x for power fist and thunder hammer
Melee shockwaves and stomps have bigger range
Grenades also do much more damage, and have more radius
Most abilities regenerate faster
jetpack has 5 charges, grappling hook has 3
Get some armor on killing enemies with ranged weapons, a lot more on specials/elites/bosses
Get some life on killing enemies with melee weapons, a lot more on specials/elites/bosses
Enemy ranged attacks do half the damage they used to
Contested health take some time before starting to decay, and decay slower
All classes have 3 armor segments, Bulwark and Heavy have 4
Removed difficulty health/armor/dodge/parry penalties, only impact enemy health and spawn rate
Nearly all class/weapons perks have buffed effects
Grapple and dive kick neurothropes and zoanthropes as the emperor intended
Compatibility with Astartes. As such, jump pack and shields have to be taken as the first perk (so you might have to do a "naked" run if you're level 1)
Overall it's certainly unbalanced towards the player, but that's the power fantasy. I might actually balance the thing later, maybe. No cosmetics, only basic gameplay tweaks, but it's compatible with Astartes for all the added content, just get the optional file to get the correct texts. If you want less enemy spawns, there's an optional file for that too. If you want Astartes npc spawns, and just Primarch weapon/abilities/perk balance, just remove the primarch enemy spawn pak. In-game text updated only in english.
