Version 1.0.0
- Initial release

!WARNING! THIS MOD DOES NOT WORK ON ENHANCED VERSION OF BORDERLANDS !WARNING!

Eridian Weapons Overhaul mod completely changes Eridian Weapons gameplay experience.

The idea of alien guns in Borderlands is great on paper, but it was really poorly executed.

This is the mod that lets you experience Eridian Weapons in their full glory!

:: Support ::

If you enjoy my work you can buy me a coffee here:

:: What's new? ::

Eridian Weapons Overhaul 1.4.0 update is out! It introduces new Eridian Artifacts, new UI elements, and a lot of QoL changes.

It also re-structures files so this mod is now a DLC for easier installation/un-installation.

You can read full changelog here.

:: What exactly is wrong with vanilla Eridian weapons? ::

They slow you down by 20% when equiped
They have really small ammo pool
They take ages to recharge (even when you max out proficiencies)
Their scopes don’t provide any zoom
They don’t have any part diversity
They don't use tech pool
Their code is broken. For example all corrosive Eridian guns from DLC3 deal exactly 0 damage due to wrong damage scalling. All damage you see is Corrosive DOT damage.
They are treated like legendary weapons – being very rare, but they are not that great (with exception of Thunderstorm).

:: Mod Features ::

All problems mentioned above are fixed. Eridian Weapons Overhaul introduces custom part generation system made from scratch.
This system allows to generate even more guns than vanilla weapon generator, including all rarity colors from white to pearlecent.

This mod features 12 weapon types, 48 Eridian Legendary weapons and 12 Eridian Pearlescent weapons.

With version 1.1.0 Eridian Weapons Overhaul introduced 11 new grenade mods in total, 4 legendary and 1 pearlescent.

With version 1.2.0 Eridian Weapons Overhaul introduced 10 new shields in total, 4 legendary and 1 pearlescent.

With version 1.3.0 Eridian Weapons Overhaul introduced 20 new artifacts in total, 4 legendary and 1 pearlescent.

:: Changes to how Eridian Weapons look and behave:

Magazines now display elemental color of the weapon
Eridian Weapons now have 6 tier materials.
Weapons now have custom muzzle flash particles for each element (Sniper Rifles have special particle for their unique barrel).
On screen scope particles also match the weapon elemental type
All weapon types can spawn with elemental blade.
Weapons that use projectiles (Cannons, Lobbers etc.) deal additional damage when scoring direct hit, and they are capable of scoring critical hits.
They are using pistol animations for small sidearms like Blasters, and revolver animations for Phasers.

:: Few words about biggest issue vanilla Eridian Weapons have - recharge delay, and recharge rate:

Recharge rate is now almost instant.
Recharge delay is now roughly the same like reload time of the same normal weapon type.
For example normal repeater pistol by default takes 2 seconds to reload, so Eridian Blaster has default 2 second delay before recharging.
This time is shortened by better quality parts.
There is also a bonus - if you don't use all ammo weapon will recharge 25% faster.

:: All Eridian weapons are elemental. They come in 4 elements:

Incendiary
Corrosive
Shock
Energy

Energy weapons work exactly like explosive weapons, except they deal normal damage instead of explosive.
Sadly weapon card still displays explosive element, because elemental icons are hardcoded.
These weapons do benefit from any skills/classmods that increase explosive damage.

:: All Eridian weapons have dual proficiencies. What does that mean?

When for example you are using Eridian Sniper Rifle you will level up both Eridian proficiency and Sniper Rifle proficiency.
You also benefit from both proficiency bonuses.
This also applies to skills and classmods. For example Roland's Scattershot skill will increase damage and accuracy of Eridian Shotguns.

:: Eridian Grenade Mods

All Eridian Grenade Mods slowly regenerate grenade ammo with speed depending on Grenade Mod parts.
Some grenade mods cost more than 1 grenade ammo to use.

:: Eridian Artifacts

Eridian Artifacts work like Borderlands 2 Relics, except that they are equipped in Grenade Mod slot.
They provide various stat bonuses but make you unable to throw grenades.

More detailed information about Eridian Artifacts can be read on this article.

:: There are 4 starting saves included as optional file:

They allow you to do a full Eridian only playthrough!

Save0036.sav - Roland
Save0037.sav - Mordecai
Save0038.sav - Brick
Save0039.sav - Lilith

In addition:

This item allows enemies to drop Eridian Loot.
