Polyarms – Original Balance
— REQUIRES POLYARMS AND ARC9, DUH —
IMPORTANT! You !MUST! load this addon AFTER Polyarms for it to work correctly, otherwise it won’t work as intended. To do this, simply edit your load order in your game’s workshop options. (If your shotguns deal around 70 minimum damage by default, you have probably not done this)
Restores the original damage balance from before the anniversary update. This is mostly centered around the range and damage values both of the guns and attachments (mainly caliber and barrel length changes), although in many cases some other stats like RPM, spread, movespeed, etc. were also changed, though the new recoil system was mostly left as is.
For the new guns, I just looked at other guns of the same caliber and changed the stats accordingly. In particular for the USP I kinda made up the damage and range based on the 10mm conversion for the MP5, the KS-23 deals 2x the damage of other shotguns on account of having almost twice the cartridge diameter (including slugs), the SR-25 was matched to the SCAR, and the mjolnir was left as is (already good enough). The werefox was just adjusted for having a long barrel as its default, so on shorter barrels it has roughly the same stats as the other 7.62 guns. Attachment-wise they were mostly left untouched.
This made as a quick change for my personal use, but i figured others might find it useful and Darsu gave me permission to upload it, so here it is. He also suggested a more elegant approach to changing the stats, but i had already made this, might see about improving it in the future.
— FAQ —
-Will you change X?
If it’s not a bug/oversight, probably not. You can open the .gma file and change the stats to suit your taste if you want.
-Will you add X?
If the original polyarms mod is updated i’ll probably see about adding whatever is added, but I can’t really add any guns/attachments/etc of my own.
