Readme:
To install the mod, unzip into steamapps\common\EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6.
Modloader is included.
If the level 0 ranger weapon broken pa-11 has been renamed to MODDED pa-11 the mod is working.
This balance mod has 2 goals. Weapons that were nerfed going from edf 5 to 6 have been buffed up back to their EDF 5 levels (This helps me enjoy EDF 6 more as the definitive version rather than yearning for EDF5)
And to buff up weapons that are far weaker than they should be and are rarely picked because of it. Having them be actually usable should increase your loadout options a decent amount. The buffs should be well shy of making them overpowered, but they are hopefully competitive now.
Lootmaster mod has been included. this will loot all boxes at the end of the mission and increase the limit for dropped boxes spawned at one time.
If you wish to disable lootmaster, delete the EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6\Mods\MISSION folder and contents.
Armor multipliers now available. Go to EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6\Mods\DEFAULTPACKAGE and replace the config.sgo with the armor multiplier of your choice.
