As a 'sequel', and in the spirit of my previous KCD mod, this is a ground up overhaul of all weapon values to scale with the KCD2 health points of 100, as well as complete reworking of armor defense values. In addition, open faced helmets do little to protect the face. and head-shots, which are normally 150% damage, are scaled up to 275% damage to account for weapon down-scaling and realism.

Specific damage types such as Smash, Slash, or Stab are not exclusive to any weapon or projectile type and are applied based upon the visual model of the weapon, or purpose of the projectile. Weapons with identical models, no matter the name, will have similar or identical values. Crossbows and Bows now do comparable damage to align with realism, rather than balance. Bullets are now primarily Stab damage rather than exclusively Smash, making metal armor more effective at deflecting Firearms.

Armor defense values are based on watching the documented results of real-world testing and extrapolating from there. Weapon weights are based upon median museum examples, then compared to approximate equivalent in-game models. Weapon durability is determined by weapon/blade robustness and haft reinforcement. Shields will often break during prolonged combat. Minimum Strength and Agility requirements for the use of all weapons have been lowered to more consistent levels.

This mod's damage down-scaling encourages the use of Polearms as a primary weapon, with Swords, Axes, and Maces in a sidearm role.

This mod's durability scaling encourages regular armor and weapon maintenance.

Compatibility: Mod tables are PTF so it should be compatible with any mod that doesn't modify weapons, armor, face damage, or body part damage. See Optional files for more compatible versions.

Installation: I recommend manual install, but Vortex should work as well.
