Extended Mod Description

***CLIENT INSTALLATION REQUIRED***

Mass Effect 3: Relentless is a mod focused on providing a complete rebalance of ME3's CO-OP. There are a wealth of changes, almost every category and stat has seen some tweaking.

- Enemy Balancing -
Enemies are now balanced to bring them more in line with player characters. Health/Shields/Barriers are generally balanced to be equal to their player character equivalent. For example, a Cerberus Centurion is balanced to reflect a Human Soldier Class stats. Bronze represents a level 1-5 Soldier, Silver 6-10, Gold 11-15, and Platinum 16-20.

Additionally, the Atlas, Geth Prime, Praetorian, Scion, Brute, and Banshee are all being balanced as Boss enemies. THESE ARE EXTREME FIGHTS. Expect these to be extremely drawn out engagements. You won't be able to immediately eliminate them with rockets either, as the rocket launcher damage has been halved.

- Enemy Weapons/Powers -
Enemy Weapons are now balanced to match player character counterparts. Enemy fire as a result is significantly more dangerous. To balance this, there is no additional incoming damage penalty for taking fire outside of cover, although there is still a damage reduction bonus for being in cover. GRENADES ARE EXTREMELY LETHAL.

These three changes alone significantly alter firefights, individual units are much quicker to take down, but due to their increased damage, so are you.

- Weapon Balancing -
Every weapon has been tweaked to try and bring out a unique feel on each weapon. For weapons that span multiple games, edits have been made to bring a more consistent feel to the weapons across games, and in some cases, better fit lore.

A few Examples:
The M-29 Incisor is described as a sniper rifle whose 3 round burst fires so quickly that it is indistinguishable from a single shot. Now this is very much the case.

The Phalanx has had a significant amount of it's punch brought back from ME2. (Bioware should be ashamed for what they did to that gun.)

The Spitfire has had it's rate of fire, ammo capacities increased immensely, bringing even more of a minigun feel to the weapon. To balance this, damage has been reduced, and weight has been substantially increased.

- Powers/Abilities -
Class Passive Abilities (Fitness/Melee/etc.) all have received significant buffs. Each class's race was considered when editing their health, shield, and melee and in the case of the drell, speed attributes.

Abilities see a substantial buff, as the force and damage output of weapons have been increased. The idea is to over power you as a player character to help account for the increased enemy count and extended endurance like engagements this mod is built on.

No where is this more apparent than with Krogans. I've always felt that Krogan's felt a little.... lackluster. Alongside their passive buffs to health and shields, Rage has been overhauled with an extended time frame (700 seconds for the Warlord, and 60 seconds for the others) granting substantial increases in damage reduction, melee damage, melee force, and for the Warlord, health regen. For best results, combine with the Krogan Immunity mod (link below) to really demonstrate their biological redundancies!

Will you be overpowered? Most definitely. Will this be challenging in spite of that? Yes.

- Additional Changes -

- Credit Payout of 100K on Bronze upto 500K on Platinum.
- Wave spawn budgets increased, leading to battles of attrition in higher difficulties.
Enemy count increased from 8 - 12.

I'm sure there is more than I'm forgetting.
