P.I.K.L.E Pork’s Improved Kombat Lightweight and Expanded
*WHY YOU TAKE SO LONG?*
This Mod aims to be a more vanilla friendly yet immersive overhaul of the games gun balance and difficulty. Many files have been edited even in just the main file, this includes edits to projectiles velocity, drop, damage, penetration, magazine capacities (Some uniques have inaccurate magazine capacities due to caliber changes or upgrades), and rate of fire. While I could say this mod makes everything “Realistic”, it does not. I know as many others like that and I don’t blame you, I do too. However we have to admit that simply is not possible as ballistics in real life are much more complicated than any game engine can simulate, especially for the janky UE5 Engine and doubly so for the modding capabilities of now (With no announcement of the S2 Dev Kit yet). After 10’s of hours nagging, completing all achievements for this game, and being busy with work as of late, I have had some free time to whip up this mod. While not as expansive as my “Guns Redone Overhauled v3.0” Mod for Cyberpunk 2077, with some time, game updates and modded guns we may just get there some day. At the end of the day these mods are a side hobby I have when i am not busy working or with friends, and recently I have the free time and motivation due to a little encouragement from “cortlong50”. So here it is the first version of my modded stalker journey.
*HEADS UP TO READER*
My mod edits several variables that other modders utilize like weapon configs, ammo prototypes, and player weapon settings. So it will not be compatible with major ballistic mods like “Better Ballistics” and “FUBAR”, however if you use “Modular Hard Mode”, do not use their ballistics modules or AIO. This mod will be separated into the main file and optionals as to help with conflicts, and all edited files will be in the description of the files
To resolve simple conflicts use: “Simple Mod Merger” -> https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/369 (A Version Integrated in Vortex/NMM)
*FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE FOR BALANCE*
My Main Files and Optional FIles will also contain a .Zip with the full mod unpacked. “Why?” You may ask, so if you do not like any of the changes or wish to change a few variables you can by unzipping the lodged file, editing the stats you wish, the repacking them using a RePak tool.
