Tidebreaker Arsenals Tweaked

Description:

This addon for Tidebreaker Arsenals delivers a full-scale rebalance of the original content, intentionally pushing it toward a more brutal and destructive playstyle. Alongside the rebalanced gear, you will also find a set of brand-new items created to expand the arsenal.

For those who believe balance is overrated — welcome.

The following changes have been applied:

• Reduced oxygen consumption for all gear (Phalanx, Knight, Commander)
• Removed batteries for gear. Flashlights and thermal imaging no longer require a power source to operate.
• Radio communication is now built into the gear — a radio headset is no longer required. (Supports the Barotraumatic mod)
• The Pelican Case, which previously could only store Knight gear, can now also store CEO uniforms.
• An Auto-Injector has been added to the Aether Commander's vest.
• All Tidebreaker Arsenals gear now supports Real Sonar (Testing)
• Laser weapons have been strengthened — lasers now deal real damage instead of merely causing lighter-like burns. Crafting has become more expensive.
• The overall lethality of the VLR-77 laser rifle has been increased. It now penetrates up to 3 victims at once and has a larger blast damage, making it a worthy competitor to the 25mm Autocannon.
• The HEI round of the 25mm Autocannon has been strengthened, now causing destruction comparable to the damage of a IC-4 Explosive Pack. It is now worth crafting. But crafting has also become more expensive.
• All melee weapons have been strengthened. The machete is no longer so useless, even early in the game; the hatchet works quite well as a highlight for a "Meat Grinder" type of game; and the Knight Sword now deals colossal damage to structures — you no longer need to build a separate sledgehammer to break open doors. And Pax AEterna has become far deadlier thanks to the new "Tetraspamine" poison.
• The .50EX Stun round has been strengthened — the stun duration is now long enough to tie up the victim and drag them across an entire huge outpost to the brig inside the ship. (Do not use against allies! The stun duration is indeed annoyingly long!)

The following new items have been added:

• A new poison, "Tetraspamine", which paralyzes the body and gradually deals damage to Internal Organs. Crafting is very expensive, but it will bring down even a Doomworm.
• Tetraspamine can also act as a buff if administered to a patient with maxed Medical skill — the patient gains new abilities in the form of resistance to a certain damage type (Testing)
• The Tetraspamine antidote can also work like Deusizine. But crafting is, of course, too expensive to use on a regular basis. It was created more as a nice bonus.
• New magazine types for the M-50X pistol have been added — Toxic and Medical. The Toxic one poisons the victim with Tetraspamine, while the Medical one heals on par with Deusizine (it is not an antidote to Tetraspamine). It has partial support for Neurotrauma.
• New Fumo plushies have been added: Ayanami Rei from Evangelion and Cirno from Touhou Project
• The 20mm RAATR-71 Autocannon from the original mod author's Ko-fi has been added
