Extended Mod Description

Changed every character in the game in at least one way to make the game more interesting to come back to for veterans.

Significantly more credits earned at all difficulties.

Almost every weapon in the game has been changed in some way. A lot of bad weapons have been buffed to be decent or better, sniper rifles have more penetration, frustrating to use weapons feel better overall.


Massive changes to the Collectors to make them feel more fair to fight without taking their challenging aspects away from them. Easier to break teammates out of sync kills, Collector Captains are slightly squishier and less accurate, Captains and Troopers do less damage and shoot less shots per burst. Seeker Swarms and Plagues are very easy to kill but much faster and silence for less time.

Massive changes to the Geth, including a rework for the Geth Prime. They now use Pulse Rifles and their combat drone's missiles have no force to prevent staggerlocking. They are overall squishier but spawn turrets and drones more frequently and have higher caps, making them summoner units. Their units have been altered to have more shields than health or armor. Hunters now move much faster cloaked and have large shields, but very little health. Rocket Troopers' missiles travel very slowly to give immobile characters a chance to shoot them, but hit much harder and track you better than before.

Minor changes to the Reapers, Banshees teleport faster, Brutes are faster while enraged and rage lasts much longer, cannibals are faster while running to eat corpses and can eat any corpse, Husks are 50% faster overall.

Minor Cerberus changes, Phantoms flips have longer cooldowns, Dragoons are tankier but slower.

Almost every melee in the game has been buffed.

Many ability buffs for weaker abilities, and just generally making abilities affect more enemies and feel better to use. Not many have been fundamentally changed, but a few have been reworked such as Bloodlust and Hunter Mode.

Drill Rounds buffs to their penetration, Adrenaline Module buff for rank 1 and 2.

There's a lot more I'm forgetting, updated frequently.
