Rebalanced Mutants (Less Armor More HP)
Mutants have less armor, but more HP. Mutants in the base game are very overwhelming early game, but once you get some late game weapons they become incredibly easy. This aims to make them easier early game, but harder late game, by removing armor but increasing their HP pool.
First let me credit R40k with No More Tanky Mutants for correctly identifying the “core issue” rather than just reducing mutant hp (It bothered me that 12×70 buck coming out of a Saiga magically was much better, for instance). Mutant HP reduction mods will make mutants incredibly easy in the later stages of the game. By building on that mod, but adding HP (and sometimes increasing movement) I think I’ve struck a nice, decently challenging, balance. Some mutants have been plain buffed without changing their armor value.

This mod won’t be compatible with any other mods that change values of the mutants (specifically in the ObjPrototypes).
I will not be taking questions. I will not be taking feedback.
These specific values came to me in a dream and I won’t change them (probably).
