The required files are OPTIONAL difficulty mods.

Adds two new attacks to the charger, utilizes VSlib to prevent any damage from his regular claw, and recognizes if the Meaner Charger is running together.

You can costumize a settings file to disable the extra screenshake and extra particles at ems/morschscript/charger_abilities/

[h1]Swat Attack:[/h1] Feels reminiscent to the tank's swinging punches, it has the ability to suspend the survivor in the air while being weaker than the tank's punch, a mid-air survivor cannot attack until landing. This attack can hits survivors in an arc just akin to the Tank's punch as well, being a heavy aoe, while also having high combo potential to the Charger's typical charge.

[h1]Swatting Charge:[/h1] Charger can chain an swat attack with the charge attack, for players they must swat then quickly charge in succession, bots do it automonously based on charge cooldown. The Swatting Charge maneuver does not do increased damage, it instead suspends survivors high enough to ensure fall damage will result on incapacitation; survivors shouldn't stand too close to the charger.

[h1]Swatting Crush:[/h1] To ensure versus compatibility the mechanic becomes a dangerous crush on incapped, similarly to how the Tank can crush survivor as well, making the same distinct sound as well as playing particle effects; they should be optimized.

[h2]Charge Slam Consistency:[/h2] This mod fixes the consistency of Chargers with grabbed survivors not staggering when they hit a wall with nearby survivors, it deals 2 damage with a sight compliant aoe stagger.

[h2]Screenshaking Tweaks:[/h2] This mod tweaks all the screenshaking of the Charger to be more notable, making him seem stronger. It also adds a particle effect of a debris cloud whenever the Charger slams a survivor into the floor; should not crash your game.

[h2]Slamming Close Damage:[/h2] This mod adds a very small aoe damage radius of 50 - 2 dmg - whenever the Charger slams a dominated survivor down, i believe it makes sense since you're too close; the stagger however, does not last 1.5-2 seconds but just 1.

It is also compatible with Versus, if you know how use it there.

[h3]Player Charger Compatibility:[/h3] Player Chargers do not abide any RNG check, they can just press MIDDLE MOUSE to trigger the ability normally; took the conclusion to make a better compability for Versus.
