Balance

Weapons:

• Changed Cleanse DoT modules to be non-aggressive;
• Cleanse Damageboost & Para left as aggressive as to not tempt unintended consequences in PvP;

NPC Balance:

• Health Pool (All NPCs)
  
  • Reduced the HP Scaling of all mid to high level mobs as their rank increases. This means that mid / higher level mobs have less HP then they used to and the higher their rank the more severe the HP reduction;
  • There are exceptions for some mobs such as glass cannons, event mobs, etc.;
• NPC Damage (Wasteland NPCs)
  
  • Average damage output of ~160 wasteland mobs rebalanced, and more tightly tied to their TL;
  • Most mobs have had damage reductions, unless they were already outputting less damage than intended (these got a buff instead). The average for the damage reductions is a -21%;
• NPC QoL
  
  • Humanoid based NPCs who wield the Rocket Launcher can now aim properly but do increased damage to drones (Doom Harbinger, Ceres War Heavy Infanty, etc.);
  • Given force immunity to NPCs who have a stomp attack;
  • Equipped melee Cyborg GD103 in Mech Haven & Cyborg GD305 in DoY Sidestreets with fusion pistols;
  • Reduced range of NPC Shotgun by -20%;
  • Reduced range of NPC Gatlin Rifle by -15%;
  • Increased rank of several dungeon bosses from 120 - 124 to reflect their seniority;
  • Increased size of smallest El Farid scorpion models to make them a little easier to target;
  • Increased size of Little Bastard model size so it's not as much of a troll npc in Mutant OPs;
  • Reduced size of all Desert Lizards models;
  • Spawning of baby mobs deactivated on Grassland Spiders & Sand Scorpions;
  • Wasteland Plants accuracy increased so they should register more hits against you (damage balanced accordingly);

Player Balance:

• Resist point strength buffed by ~ 13%;
  
  • This result changes the previous nerf from being a -20% nerf to a -10% nerf from the original 2.5 values where Tanks and PEs were very strong;
• Stealth Delay Timing Update:
  
  • Stealthtool (Jones) unchanged at 4 seconds;
  • Stealth Activator I changed from 4 to 3 seconds;
  • Stealth Activator II changed from 4 to 3.5 seconds;
  • Stealth Activator III unchanged at 4 seconds;
