Fresh Loot is an equipment overhaul mod that updates a lot of weapons and armors to make loot more interesting for new playthroughs.
It doesn't change the meta items such as the luminous or arcane acuity builds or act 3's legendary items, but adds more options for new builds and rebalances "weaker" items to make them more interesting and competitive with those meta, such as the Sussur weapons, Rippling force set, Adamantine set as well as a lot of cool vanilla weapons that didn't have strong enchantments, like the Rat Catcher, Lightning Jabber, Merregon Halberd and more.
In addition to upgrading items enchantments it also replaces the models of various armors and weapons with vanilla models that never had good unique variants; such as the padded armor +2, Katana, Javelin +1, leather armors +1/+2, studded armors, Djinni Scimitar, etc. Those are described in the screenshots.
Important notice: It requires a new save to work properly. It might be possible to use it with an existing save but some items wouldn't be updated and new items would probably be inaccessible (without spawning them).
If you want a quick, detailed preview of the mod: I added a version with every items in the tutorial, in the backpack near shadowheart. note that to test scaling weapons you can change the difficulty level of your game. Lowest gives you a proficiency bonus of 4 (so equivalent to character being level 9), higher difficulties gives you the regular pb of 2.
New mechanics:
Scaling magical items:
Themed sets / combos, magical items that unlock new powers when equipped together:
Weaponized Shields
New unique items:
New unique weapons using cool vanilla assets:
New unique armours:
Improved vanilla items:
New enchantments for unique-looking weapons:
Plus Lots of reskinned items and a few minor enchantments bug fixes.
Also, several modified armors come with their own dye that can generally be purchased or found near the armor so it's easy to create matching sets.
Where to find those items:
