According to G.E.C.K. scripture:
"Ignores Normal Weapon Resistance: Broken as of 1.5 patch."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mod version 1.1
---------------------------------------------
Long story short:
This mod restores the Armor Piercing effect on Deathclaw Gauntlet and Man Opener unique Auto-Axe. Also corrects Damage Resistance Actor Value on Alien Armors (see screenshots).
----------------------------------------------
Long story long:
1. The AP effect will not work on dead bodies, children, essential NPCs/companions (if you have mods which mark them as essential) or unarmored targets.
2. The AP effect = (Base weapon damage + all buffs related to perks and armors) * chem/ingredients effect that increase damage. The result will be multiplied again by Damage Resistance of the target then divided by 100.
Don't bother too much with that, the scripts will do this for you.
3. To simplify the scripts and compensate the difference between Real Damage and Base Damage of the weapon, AP effect will not take into consideration the weapon degradation. I wanted a functional effect not a perfect one.
4. Armors/perks/chem/ingredient considered in AP effect calculi: Metal Master Armor, Samurai Armor, Iron Fist (1/2/3), Bloody Mess, Superior Defender, Psycho, Yao Guai Meat.
5. I also corrected the Damage Resistance for Alien Armor Spell; now an Alien level 30 will have 84% DR instead of 110% (see screenshots).
6. In the 3rd screenshot you'll see how AP effect is working - no buffs only base damage. The console messages are disabled for normal use of the mod.
Bonus:
1. You'll swing faster (than before) your beloved gauntlet.
2. Man Opener's degradation decreased x 3.
----------------------------------------------
