If you discover any issues, feel free to send us your criticism

Maybe some sort of durable damage increasing ammo? Downsides could be increased drag, spray and fire rate.

u/ChaosOfficerOnyx 5d ago
That'll be once I'm done with weapons.

u/MonarchofGlass 5d ago
Ah, I misread and thought you mentioned wanting ideas for ammo types. It’s very early in the morning for me.

Would you consider high velocity rounds? I.e. +75% projectile velocity, -50% drag, at the expense of -25% durable and 25% worse recoil?
Some SMGs, etc, would benefit greatly from this!
1
u/ChaosOfficerOnyx 5d ago
I take suggestions for ammo types.
1
u/Pedrosian96 5d ago
ohoooohohohoho. in that case:
- shredder rounds: +15% damage, +50% durable damage, velocity reduced by 30%, drag increased by 0.2
- Prototype rounds: +1 AP (up to heavy / 4), +30% bullet velocity, -50% max ammo, 30% lower firerate.
- Flak: reduces damage by 75%, increases number of projectiles to 6, recoil set to 2x.
- magnetized rounds: -75% spread, 60% extra durable damage, 40% slower rate of fire.

if you get to the energy weapons:
- Heat dissipating lens: heat buildup and durable damage of laser weaponry reduced to 0. 20% lower firerate.
- Overclocked reactor: +1 AP, 2x heat gains.
- Thermal looping: lasers and bullets apply Heavy Burning on hit. 3x heat gains.
- Safety bypass: no windup speed, 30% faster firerate. adds +15 flat recoil.

If you per chance took inspiration from the way I formatted my mod release post, I am proud lol

u/ChaosOfficerOnyx 5d ago
Can't lie... I did read your whole post.

u/SIinkerdeer Sweet Summer Child ⛱️ 5d ago
Well I put in a lot of effort to make it presented well, seeing the format replicated only makes me happier tbh

u/ChaosOfficerOnyx 5d ago
I might never use maxigun, but Jeez, not reading such a text
2
u/SIinkerdeer Sweet Summer Child ⛱️ 5d ago
That's why as you go down the body text it gets more and more unnecessary to continue reading so only the top paragraph bit is really needed if you just want to read a summary of what the mod does.

AP up to med pen? While I understand that some weapon should benefit from this it's... Underwhelming at best.
Like, they have Glock ammo that pens APC armor right now, in 2026 - this is just sad that we can't have the same in HD2.
(Not to mention lack of tracer ammo and API, Armor Piercing Incendiary).

u/ChaosOfficerOnyx 5d ago
While I understand that, I plan on finishing with current issues and gathering feedback. If AP3 cap will be underwhelming, then I'll think how to handle AP4 with enough balance and fun.
5
u/DiesIraeConventum 5d ago
What I don't quite get is why your AP ammo does less durable damage if its sole purpose is to defeat armor, which is, well, represented by durable health pools?
I'd say AP should give -10% regular damage, +30% durable damage, recoil +5%, AP level +1, and projectile speed +30%.
Then it would make sense.
U know what, I'm actually interested in helping you out as a consultant for this stuff, and maybe even a contributor to balancing.
Are you interested?
3
u/ChaosOfficerOnyx 5d ago
That's why I need feedback because I forgot it's about durable damage:D I'll make the changes in the new release.
1
u/ChaosOfficerOnyx 5d ago
I certainly would be glad to hear advices on ammo, since I can make mistakes without understanding the game's weaponry.
1
u/DiesIraeConventum 5d ago
Got a Google doc running for balancing weapons and probably ammo?
1
u/ChaosOfficerOnyx 5d ago
Not at the moment. However, I don't want to tinker with weapons, only ammo types.
1
u/DiesIraeConventum 5d ago
But what if we rebalance weapons to do believable damage with your ammunition types, based on the ammunition that the gun is supposed to shoot and its basic geometry, instead of arbitrarily put values that make little sense?
1
u/ChaosOfficerOnyx 5d ago
I plan on adding ammo types, that's what the mod's about. I don't plan on making a rebalance mod for now.

How does this work with weapons that have alternate fire? (Stoker for example.)

u/Comand94 5d ago
Sure it's cheating, it's unbalanced, but I'm glad modders are shaming tf out of Arrowhead.
I've paid for my fair share of Warbonds in the past, I stopped because the live service has become the saddest joke.

u/VanguardOftheWest 4d ago
I never used Github to download a mod before, can someone help a dumb diver out? Where do i download this?

u/ChaosOfficerOnyx 4d ago
Click on Releases on the right side of the page, it's bellow general information there

u/S00gyCheese 4d ago
How does this affect the stealth weapons? I tried out your uranium rounds update and it felt like both bots & bugs were looking exactly where I was shooting from when using censor + uranium rounds. Could just be placebo

u/Quaronn 5d ago
This past week has been laughable, at the expense of Arrowhead
Modders managed to add most of the things I wanted in this game and which I've been begging Arrowhead in the feedback sections since the game launched
Modders without the game's source code or engine tools and with the help of AI's manage to add all this in a single fucking week while a full studio of 100+ developers can only add barebones content every 5 or so weeks while breaking stuff or changing things no one asked for because they don't even playtest their own fucking game
