Revision 10, published February 18, 2017, 9:06 am

Harder version of my Diamond difficulty. This is a large, total enhancement mod with completely new fun challenges and gameplay. Designed for Platinum and optimised for Gold. Click more for details.

Extended Mod Description

This is a completely finished mod for platinum setting, but there is also a gold option that works mostly the same but is slightly easier.

Difficulty scale: Platinum 2.0

Enemies are significantly buffed to make them more challenging, this mod can be a real nightmare (but fun).

Spawnlists are completely custom, and more agressive and insane than my Diamond difficulty mod.

This includes my total weapon rebalance and project mod.
