Some adjustments to weapons that I feel are nearly useless most of the time: I.E. Things like the Avenger.

---

Extended Mod Description

A lot of changes across the board for Sniper Rifles, Assault Rifles, SMGs & Heavy Pistols.

Focusing mostly on damage to avoid desyncing problems.

Primarily for common underperformers, I left most of the strong weapons alone. I just want more options. (And also be able to use the Avenger for LARP without being useless)

So far the buffed weapons are:
Avenger
Phaeston
Geth Pulse Rifle
Katana

Mathematically they're in line with the Harrier in terms of DPS. They're mathematically viable. I honestly felt quite disappointed when I tried the Avenger after buffing it, but then it grew on me, it kicks when it needs to and I appreciated it being viable.

(This version is combined with Fair Buffs. Which I think is a fantastic mod. I left the original weapons changes as they were and only buffed up the untouched outliers.)

Changed Extraction time back to 120 seconds.

Increased the amount of aggressive enemies.

Removed a few mixins, added some others.
