Overview

This mod increases the amount of weapon attributes that are improved upon named weapon generation. (Now with mod hooks!)

Currently in vanilla, for-non throwing weapons, Durability is always modified (sometimes actually reduced), and an additional 2 attributes are improved.

This mod makes it so that Durability is never reduced, 3-4 other attributes are improved, and the improvements are more substantial. Since throwing weapons lack Durability, this mod makes it such that Ammo is always improved. See below for details.

I tried to maintain balance by increasing maximums slightly and increasing minimums significantly. I am terrible at the game and tend to only get 2-3 named weapons each run, so I wanted to make them more likely to feel worth the effort.

There are two versions: the "Strong" version where Durability/Ammo + 4 attributes are improved, and a "Slight" version where Durability/Ammo + 3 attributes are improved.


Installation

Requirements
Modding Script Hooks

Move "mod_buffNamedWeaponsStrong.zip" into your Battle Brothers data folder.
(Usually something like "C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Battle Brothers\data")

Now that script hooks are supported, the mod should still work with new game versions even if I disappear again.

Attribute Changes

Note: Changes listed as a % modify the attribute by a certain percent, whereas percentage points are a flat bonus. e.g. a Dagger might have its base max damage of 40 improved by 25%, resulting in a value of 50. It might also have its base Armor Damage of 70% increased by 30 percentage points, resulting in 100%.
