About Stagger Tuner
From ThunderstoreMakes Hard/VeryHard playable with non meta weapons/loadout by scaling stagger threshold.
Stagger Tuner
Stagger Tuner was created for players who want to play on Hard or Very Hard difficulty without feeling forced into constantly dodging or using specific weapon and shield combinations.
What it does
Stagger Tuner increases the amount of stagger your character can take before being staggered.
The default multiplier is 1.60x, or roughly 60% more stagger resistance. This felt good to me while playing on Hard and Very Hard, but the value is fully configurable.
- 1.0x = Vanilla
- 1.3–1.4x = A lighter adjustment
- 1.6x = Default and my recommended starting point
- Up to 3.0x = Configurable for those who want considerably more stagger resistance
> Note: The visible stagger bar does not become larger. The amount of stagger required to fill it is increased.
Stagger Tuner does not reduce incoming damage or increase outgoing damage. Missing a block or parry will still result in taking full damage, so getting hit will still hurt.
Multiplayer
Stagger Tuner supports multiplayer and dedicated servers.
Server settings are automatically synchronized to connected clients and can be locked by the server administrator. The mod must be installed on both the server and connecting clients.
Configuration
The stagger multiplier can be changed using the BepInEx Configuration Manager or by editing the configuration file.
Default: 1.60 Range: 0.50 – 3.00 Vanilla: 1.00
