1 of 3 mods to expand the high tech, solo / low player group options. While independent of each other, they compliment each other's functionality, such as the tactical tools granting you much more options and the talent trees allows solo / low players to play all classes.

All 3 mods are in the mod pack[/h3]

Introduction

This mod was made to fill a lack of high tech QOL tactical item mods. Most items are split into multiple tiers with upgradeable versions that you can grab as you go about your barotrauma campaign. The lower tiers are meant to be as accesible as possible, whereas the higher tiers are designed to be rewarding and difficult to get. To ensure maximum compatibility with other mods, this mod DOES NOT FEATURE GUNS. . The multitool isn't a gun! You are just removing safety limits!

Prominent items are [olist] [*] An upgradeable augmented reality visor, providing you sonar, NVG, thermals, live minimap (even in outpost and ruins) and propulsion. All in one single item. Also comes with insertible modules that replicate functions of the game, such as some gene effects, removal of toxins, health regeneration, etc. [*]COIL Multifunctional tool, combining a wrench, screwdriver, cutter and welder. Allowing you to switch between cutter and welder at any time. Has an overheat mechanic that is mainly utilized... when you decide to remove the safety limits and weaponize it. Only ever requires Oxygen as its fuel. [*]Stealth sonar beacons, these sonar beacons do not piss off the wildlife, for the people who hate losing their inventory when they die. (Like me) [*]Rechargeable healing sprays, allowing you to have a rechargeable healing item for high difficulty mods. Balanced to have multiple tiers. [*]Backpacks and spatial storages. Because I really, really don't wanna make another trip out of the wreck. [*]Portable batteries and oxygen containers which allows you to recharge beacons (Dynamic europa when you cant dock your ship) All containers have an upgraded version which recharges its stored item (batteries / oxygen tanks) [*] And much more. [/olist]

Tactical Visor

Split into 3 different tiers, with the first tier easily accessible (AKA, possible to get in first outpost if you steal stuff). All HUD features can be toggled off at any time, with varying levels of battery drain when they are active. While designed for anime bodies, I took care to ensure it dosen't look too out of place for vanilla ones.

  • Headset, health scanner, autoinjector, diving mask
  • Night Vision Goggles and Thermograph (Both drains batteries, and totally not a robocorp reference.)
  • Sonar, with upgraded version using high frequency sonar (no sound) which do not alert creatures. (No battery drain when passive)
  • Live Minimap, with upgraded version allowing outpost and alien ruin mapping (No battery drain)
  • Scooter (Drains O2 and batteries)
  • ID spoofing to open any vanilla safe or door (Final upgrade version only)
  • Insertable upgrade modules, e.g. pressure resistance, poison resistance / immunity, healing over time

COIL Multifunctional Tool

Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser Multifunctional Tool. It combines a welder, cutter, screwdriver and a wrench into one item. It only ever requires a single oxygen tank for fuel and you can toggle modes at any time. Has a heat mechanic which applies varying degrees of burns, but you would never realistically hit dangerous levels while using only the cutter and welder. Cools faster in water.

The multitool has two safety limit toggles, both generate alot of heat and O2 consumption.

  • "Limiter Off" mode which converts the beam into a giant plasma laser.
  • "Pulse Bypass" Which converts it into a pulse laser (It deataches plants very quickly, while it can mine. I wouldn't suggest using it for that.)
  • Disabling both safeties concurrently blows up your O2 tank. So don't try that.

It has an upgraded version with better specs, but both versions are not designed to be a primary weapon (If the burns when overused + low fire rate + low damage didn't give it away). At most a secondary weapon due to its tool nature and renewable ammo source. A standard SMG would outpeform it by far. This is an intentional design choice to not make it powerful, allowing the only "Weapon" in this mod to not be "best choice" and making you never use any other gun from other mods.
