Better ballistics is kinda whack so I tried this one out. It doesn't seem to do anything except make the enemies extremely deadly. Player side it seems to make them tankier - which is annoying. But the most interesting thing I've discovered is that it appears to mess with mutant spawns and anomalies damage to the player.

Using only this mod, fresh start, wandering around the lesser zone I was attacked by a pseudogiant, 2 cats, and a horde of 7 or so Zombies which took more than one headshot and laser beamed me instantly killing me. Reloaded and while trying to get to the mill I got slapped by 4 burers.

Whats up with this mod?

I've been playing using it recently, and maybe its just stalker 2 jank but it seems terribly inconsistent despite saying it tries to make rounds more accurate to real life. Some of its adjustments make zero sense to me. For example the Clusterfuck chambered in .308 does slightly less damage, about a full "bar" less of range compared to the spitfires stats. Which is chambered in 7.62x39. The 308 is a flatter, stronger round in every metric.

Im confused why this is but love the mod otherwise.

So basically title. Mod list below. To keep it short enemy npcs are agro-ing from ridiculous distances. For instance I can move through the area way out of range of Gas Station in Zaton and continually get shot at while heading toward Zkadovsk. Similarly I can get engaged by npcs at the sawmill while being at the stone village in Wild Island. Creating distance doesn't seem to work either as i can hear the shots whizzing around me long after the agro range should stop it.

Xbox series X. I'm level 53. I know the games mechanics just enough essentially. I haven't played for a few years, Came back to play with some new players I know and have been having a blast for the last week.

I understand defensive mode, the flag raised, parlays ect.

However, today my group and I were explaining the different mechanics found at camp to my buddy who is brand new. Showing him all the different menus etc. While doing this we had a group of three other players come to our camp. All between the levels of 400-550. I had my flag raised, we were on defensive mode, and low hostility.

They were chill for about 30 seconds. Then they lasso my lvl 1 buddy. Dragged him out of camp and killed him. They did immediately turn red however. They then shot my other buddy and I immediately with head shots from carcanos. We respawned. Still in defensive mode. Flag still raised. Red players still at camp.

I got back and pulled out my bolt action but my reticle was grayed out when aiming at them. Aim assist was not functioning on them at all either. Shotguns, revolvers. The game just wasn't letting us defend ourselves in any way. I could not shoot them in my camp or while they/we were outside of it from *any distance*. However they were able to hit us with explosive arrows and kill/lasso us. We had absolutely no means of defense. After about 10 minutes of this they poured gasoline(?) From cans and burned the entire camp. Killing Cripps. Horses dead. Spawn in again - immediately killed by head shots or explosive arrows.

We eventually got pushed out towards black water and it was the most aggregious pvp I've ever seen. Head shot after head shot the moment we exposed any pixels and repeated and immediate deaths upon respawning (as in not even having time to equip a weapon). Ended up leaving and joining another server.

Can someone explain how the hell that is supposed to work? Because I've killed griefers trying the same thing in camp. However I have never ever *not* been able to shoot them. I mean literally the games cursor was greyed out whenever any of us tried. I am not quick to call cheats but this was something I've never experienced.
