GTFO.EZ

(Listed on Thunderstore as GtfoEZ — package names there are restricted to letters, numbers, and underscores, so they can't contain a period.)

A small, config-driven BepInEx plugin for GTFO that tunes player stats for an easier, more relaxed co-op experience. No datablock JSON files are shipped — it patches the game's own data in memory at load time, so it keeps working across game patches that only change base values. A curated set of defaults covers the core experience, with 530+ customizable fields underneath for anyone who wants to retune things further.

What it changes

Defaults follow community-consensus balance values (several independent GTFO easy-mode mods' settled-on numbers), not arbitrary multipliers. "Default" is the value after this mod's default config is applied; - means left at vanilla:

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Max health	25	50 (+100%)
Health regen rate	0.2/s	0.1/s (-50%)
Max regenerated health (no med kit)	20%	40% (+100%)
Stamina regen rate while resting in combat	0.15/s (vs 0.25/s out of combat)	0.25/s, equalized
Stamina cap while in combat	90%	100%, cap removed
Fall damage amount	2-15	0.2-1.5 (-90%)
Fall height where damage maxes out	20m	30m (+50%)
Weapon/tool ammo (reserve, starting, refill packs)	x1	x1.5 (+50%)
Enemy movement-noise detection distance	8m (sleepers: 20m)	6m (sleepers: 15m) (-25%)
Revive duration (time to revive a downed teammate)	4s	1.32s (-67%)
Fog (visibility-limiting fog)	enabled	disabled
Sentry gun deploy/pickup interaction time	vanilla hold time	instant (-100%)
Fog clearing around you	none (Fog Repeller item only, 70 s)	always on, 4 m widening to 25 m over 90 s

A few deliberate non-changes among the tuned stats: regen delay after damage is left at vanilla (fast regen with no delay makes you nearly unkillable in a slow fight), the no-damage fall height itself is left at vanilla (cutting fall damage to 10% already does the work, so raising the safe height on top of that was redundant), and ammo isn't paired with a damage buff (that combination was reported as overtuned by another mod's author).

Controls — on first launch the mod also switches on four of the game's own control options: the comms menu opens and closes with a tap of Q instead of having to be held, sprint and aim are toggles, and jumping stands you up from a crouch. It does this once only; after that they're ordinary game settings you can change back in Settings → Gameplay.

Gameplay additions — beyond the stat changes in the table, the mod adds a few behaviours of its own, each with its own config section and on/off switch:

• Fog clearing (Fog Clearing): a silent, invisible version of the Fog Repeller's sphere follows you, clearing 4 m around you at the start of a level and widening to 25 m over 90 s.
• Instant sentries (Sentries): sentry guns place and pick back up with no hold-to-confirm, and placing your own switches you straight back to the weapon you had out.
• Sentries pass through each other (Sentries › Pass Through Each Other, on by default): a sentry shoots and sees straight through another one, players' and bots' bullets pass through sentries, and two can stand overlapping. Picking one up works as usual.
• Bots Always Equip Sentry Gun (Bots, off by default): forces every bot's tool slot to the basic Sentry Gun, whether it's filling an empty slot or replacing a player.

Experimental (Experimental, on by default):

• Bot tool controls: aim your own sentry's placement ghost and press Shift+E to drop the next bot's equipped tool there instead of yours; X drops the next turret wherever you're currently standing and looking instead - no aiming needed - every bot that still has one undeployed, one per press, then finally your own, so a few presses deploy the whole team; Z recalls every bot-placed tool back into its bot, and your own placed sentry back into your inventory too, all at once. One switch turns all three off. Shift+E and the bot half of X only work for the host (bots belong to the host); your own half of X and Z works for everyone.
• Ping Anywhere: PING <KEY> from any terminal finds an item anywhere in the level, not just in that terminal's zone; the marker shows for 10 s. Same-zone pings are left to the game's own PING, and any error falls back to it.

Input	Action
E (aiming your sentry)	Place your own sentry - instant, then back to your previous weapon
Shift+E (aiming your sentry)	Place the next bot's tool at your aim instead (host only)
Insert	Infinite health on/off
Delete	Infinite ammo on/off
X	Drop the next turret at your current position/orientation - bots first (host only), then your own
Z	Recall every bot-placed tool (host only) and your own placed sentry, all at once

Infinite ammo and health — Insert toggles infinite health (no damage to you; bots and teammates are unaffected) and Delete toggles infinite ammo (every gun and tool stays full, no reloads), each announced in the event log and always in the console too. Both start off. GTFO.EZ, its Absurd companions and GTFO.CrashTestDummies all have the same two keys; with several installed, only one answers, so a press never toggles twice.

How you know it's loaded — under the rundown title on the rundown-select screen, one "<mod> vN Active" line appears for each GTFO.* mod (GTFO.EZ, its Absurd add-ons, CrashTestDummies, SkipDrop) that's installed and switched on. The same list shows as a warden-intel message in-level once you spawn.

Every value above is a multiplier (or on/off switch) you can retune in the config file BepInEx generates after first launch (BepInEx/config/MindAttic.GTFO.EZ.cfg), without recompiling anything.

If you're upgrading from an older version: BepInEx keeps whatever value is already in your .cfg, so when a default listed above changes between versions (see CHANGELOG.md), your install won't pick up the new number on its own. This mod corrects that once per affected setting, the first time you launch the version that fixes it - if you'd deliberately set one of those same settings to its old value yourself, that gets reset to the new default too, since the two cases look identical from the config file alone.

Also exposed, but left at vanilla by default

These are tunable in the same config file, but ship unchanged — either because vanilla was already fine (flashlights), or because there's no community consensus they need adjusting for an easier game, unlike the stats above. Grouped here the same way they're grouped in the config file itself:

Stamina

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Stamina Multiplier (divides every action's stamina cost - sprinting, jumping, walking, crouching, strafing - and multiplies regen by the same factor)	x1	-

Fall Damage

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Fall height before any damage	4m	-

Lighting

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Flashlight angle	varies by light type (35-70 degrees)	-
Flashlight intensity	varies by light type (0.25-0.9)	-

Movement

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Walk speed	3.5 m/s	-
Run speed	6 m/s	-
Air (mid-air) move speed	3 m/s	-
Crouch move speed	2 m/s	-
Ladder climb speed	1.5 m/s	-
Jump height (initial jump velocity)	9 m/s	-

Combat

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Friendly fire damage multiplier	x0.5	-

Utility

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Battery capacity (flashlights/tools)	100	-
Small tool battery drain rate	0.25/s	-
Medium tool battery drain rate	0.5/s	-
Large tool battery drain rate	3/s	-

Environment

Stat	Vanilla	Default
No-air (suffocation) damage rate	0.15	-
No-air meter depletion time	90s	-

Enemy Balance

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Enemy max health	varies by enemy type	-
Enemy melee attack damage	varies by enemy type	-
Enemy tentacle attack damage (Striker/Tank grabs, Scout tentacles, etc.)	varies by enemy type	-

Loot

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Consumable spawns per zone (with GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems' Consumables Are Kits on, its Kit Loot sets how many kits)	varies by zone	-
Big pickup spawns per zone (fog turbines, artifacts, etc.)	varies by zone	-

Miscellaneous (exposed, but not part of the core tuning)

Everything below was added after the mod's core feature set (health/regen/fall damage/ammo/ detection/glow sticks, above) was already settled. It's real, functional, and fully configurable, but less curated and less load-bearing for the mod's "easy mode" identity than the stats above — expect it to matter more for players who want to go deeper than the defaults, not for a first install.

Consumable spawn odds — they retune the weighted lottery that decides which consumable fills a spawn slot, not how many spawn (that's the Consumable Spawn Multiplier above). Setting one to 0 removes that item, and its share goes to the rest; a loot table with every item disabled spawns nothing. GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems' Consumables Are Kits replaces the items with a few small health, tool and ammo kits (plus Hand Grenades and Stim Packs with its Loot Mix on), and these odds with them; whenever its kits don't fill the tables, these odds still apply.

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Glow stick spawn odds (both colors)	enabled	disabled (-100%)
Lock Melter spawn odds	varies by zone	disabled (-100%)
C-Foam Grenade spawn odds	varies by zone	disabled (-100%)
Explosive Trip Mine spawn odds	varies by zone	disabled (-100%)
C-Foam Tripmine spawn odds	varies by zone	disabled (-100%)
Fog Repeller spawn odds	varies by zone	disabled (-100%)

Left at vanilla by default:

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Long Range Flashlight spawn odds	varies by zone	-

Expedition balance — ExpeditionBalanceDataBlock is the game's own per-difficulty-tier budget table (one entry per tier: Easy/Normal/Hard/..., scaled uniformly). This is by far the largest surface in the mod and none of it is retuned by default:

Resources

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Health-pack resource budget per zone	varies by tier	-
Infection-cure resource budget per zone	varies by tier	-
Weapon ammo-pack resource budget per zone	varies by tier	-
Tool ammo (sentries, C-foam launcher, etc.) budget per zone	varies by tier	-
Commodity (crafting material) value per zone	varies by tier	-
Chance a container holds a commodity	varies by tier	-
Chance a container holds an artifact	varies by tier	-
Chance a commodity spawn is a large pack	varies by tier	-
Chance a commodity spawn is a medium pack	varies by tier	-
Chance a resource container gets reused for a second pack	varies by tier	-
Max packs per resource container	varies by tier	-
Empty weak (cardboard box) containers per zone	varies by tier	-
Empty secure (locker) containers per zone	varies by tier	-
General loot budget per zone	varies by tier	-
Air (breathable) budget per zone	varies by tier	-
Air budget per zone inside no-air areas	varies by tier	-

Tentacle Trap health	varies by tier	-
Tentacle Trap attack damage	varies by tier	-
Tentacle Trap max per zone	varies by tier	-
Tentacle Trap max in a small area	varies by tier	-
Tentacle Trap max in a medium area	varies by tier	-
Tentacle Trap max in a large area	varies by tier	-
Tentacle Trap max in a huge area	varies by tier	-
Parasite Nest health	varies by tier	-
Parasite Nest attack damage	varies by tier	-
Parasite Nest max per zone	varies by tier	-
Parasite Nest max in a small area	varies by tier	-
Parasite Nest max in a medium area	varies by tier	-
Parasite Nest max in a large area	varies by tier	-
Parasite Nest max in a huge area	varies by tier	-

Tentacle Trap and Parasite Nest each expose the same 7-stat shape as roaming/sleeper enemies above (Health, Attack Damage, Max Per Zone, Max Small/Medium/Large/Huge Area) via their own StaticEnemyData reference on the datablock — confirmed by IL-inspecting Modules-ASM.dll rather than guessing at an undocumented nested type.

Level generation (internal tuning, not difficulty — changes how levels are built)

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Voxel coverage area factor	varies by tier	-
Voxel coverage area randomness factor	varies by tier	-
Artifacts per level segment	varies by tier	-
Artifacts per level layer	varies by tier	-

Doors

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Small (4x4) weak door health	varies by tier	-
Large (8x4) weak door health	varies by tier	-
Odds a weak door has no lock	varies by tier	-
Odds a weak door has a melee-breakable lock	varies by tier	-
Odds a weak door has a hackable lock	varies by tier	-
Chance an unlocked weak door starts open	varies by tier	-
Chance a door starts open after a wall-remover charge	varies by tier	-
Weak door lock health	varies by tier	-
C-Foam volume -> door health conversion rate	varies by tier	-
C-Foam volume needed to fully seal a door	varies by tier	-

Melee weapons — MeleeArchetypeDataBlock has one entry per weapon type: Bat, Hammer (the sledgehammer), Knife, and Spear — real in-game names, confirmed from the data rather than assumed. Each weapon gets its own independent set of config entries, grouped by action type (Light Attack / Charged Attack / Push / General) the same way they're grouped in the config file. Vanilla numbers below are the same for all four stat categories (every weapon has a Light Attack Damage, a Stagger Multiplier, etc.) but the actual values differ per weapon — a Knife's light attack does 2 damage, a Hammer's does 3, for example:

Light Attack

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Damage	varies by weapon (see table below)	-
Stagger Multiplier	varies by weapon	-
Precision Damage Multiplier	varies by weapon	-
Environment Damage Multiplier	varies by weapon	-
Backstab Damage Multiplier	varies by weapon	-
Sleeper Damage Multiplier	varies by weapon	-
Stamina Cost Multiplier	varies by weapon	-

Charged Attack

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Damage	varies by weapon (see table below)	-
Stagger Multiplier	varies by weapon	-
Precision Damage Multiplier	varies by weapon	-
Environment Damage Multiplier	varies by weapon	-
Backstab Damage Multiplier	varies by weapon	-
Sleeper Damage Multiplier	varies by weapon	-
Stamina Cost Multiplier	varies by weapon	-

Push

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Hit Detection Radius Multiplier	varies by weapon	-
Stamina Cost Multiplier	varies by weapon	-

General

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Reach Multiplier	varies by weapon	-
Hit Detection Radius Multiplier	varies by weapon	-
Charge Move Speed Multiplier	varies by weapon	-

That's 19 stats x 4 weapons = 76 config entries, all left at vanilla. For reference, here's what "vanilla" actually is per weapon (light / charged attack damage only, the two most legible numbers):

Weapon	Light Attack Damage	Charged Attack Damage
Bat	3	12
Hammer	3	20
Knife	2	5.5
Spear	2	17.5

Not yet exposed: PublicName, NoiseLevel, the animation/SFX set references, and the boolean behavior flags (SkipLimbDestruction, CanHitMultipleEnemies, etc.) aren't multiplier-friendly balance values, so they're left alone.

Ranged weapons and sentries — ArchetypeDataBlock is the ranged-weapon equivalent of melee's archetype block, covering every gun's fire modes and every sentry. There are far more of these (~50 individual fire-mode archetypes across ~20 weapon types) than melee's 4, so the five core combat stats get a two-tier multiplier instead of melee's single tier: a Weapon Type slider shared by every fire mode in that family (e.g. all of "Rifle") multiplied by an Individual Weapon slider for one specific fire mode (e.g. "Rifle - Burst"), both defaulting to 1.0 and stacking multiplicatively - adjust either one, or both.

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Damage	varies by weapon (see table below)	-
Stagger Multiplier	varies by weapon	-
Precision (headshot) Multiplier	varies by weapon	-
Clip Size	varies by weapon	-
Reload Time	varies by weapon	-

Weapon type and archetype ownership were confirmed by logging GearCategoryDataBlock and ArchetypeDataBlock at boot - not documented anywhere official. A few types share an archetype across more than one category (e.g. "SMG_Special" reuses plain "SMG"'s stats), in which case only the base type gets its own slider. Sentries don't go through this category system at all, so they aren't covered by the two-tier sliders - see the flat Sentry stats further below.

The Weapon column is the actual gun you pick in the loadout screen, resolved from the game's own gear data (and checked against the GTFO wiki). The Weapon Type / Individual Weapon columns are the names of the config sections you'd edit. 16 rows have no player weapon - every "SemiBurst" slot plus a few unused ones - so treat those as inert. The fire-mode word in a section name is the internal slot, which doesn't always match how the gun fires: the Bataldo Custom K330 is a slug shotgun filed under "HEL Shotgun - Semi", and the Bataldo J 300 fires full-auto from the "Burst" slot.

Every other ArchetypeDataBlock stat (ammo cost, fire rate, spread, burst/shotgun-pellet counts, charge-up/cooldown timing, equip/aim speed, shell casing size) is left as one flat multiplier shared by every weapon and sentry alike, rather than tripling the config size again for stats nobody asked to tune per-gun:

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Ammo cost per shot	varies by weapon	-
Shot delay (fire rate)	varies by weapon	-
Hip-fire spread	varies by weapon	-
Aim spread	varies by weapon	-
Piercing target count	varies by weapon	-
Burst delay	varies by weapon	-
Burst shot count	varies by weapon	-
Shotgun pellet count	varies by weapon	-
Shotgun cone size	varies by weapon	-
Shotgun pellet spread	varies by weapon	-
Special charge-up time	varies by weapon	-
Special cooldown time	varies by weapon	-
Semi-burst timeout	varies by weapon	-
Equip transition time	varies by weapon	-
Aim transition time	varies by weapon	-
Shell casing size (cosmetic)	varies by weapon	-

Sentries get their own flat multiplier set for the targeting/combat behavior that's unique to them (not shared with handheld weapons), including a separate set applied only once a sentry has "tagged" (scanned) a target:

Stat	Vanilla	Default
Start fire delay	varies by sentry	-
Rotation speed	varies by sentry	-
Detection max range	varies by sentry	-
Detection max angle	varies by sentry	-
Long range threshold	varies by sentry	-
Short range threshold	varies by sentry	-
Tagged-target start fire delay multiplier	varies by sentry	-
Tagged-target rotation speed multiplier	varies by sentry	-
Tagged-target damage multiplier	varies by sentry	-
Tagged-target stagger multiplier	varies by sentry	-
Tagged-target ammo cost multiplier	varies by sentry	-
Tagged-target shot delay multiplier	varies by sentry	-

Not yet exposed: PublicName/Description, FireMode, RecoilDataID, DamageBoosterEffect, the animation sequence references, PiercingBullets (on/off flag), and ShellCasingSpeedRange - either not multiplier-friendly or purely cosmetic/technical.

Compatibility

GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdMoves and GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems are GTFO.EZ companion mods, built on this mod's core (they share its Insert/Delete toggles and on-screen messages). Each one works without GTFO.EZ installed, too.

• GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons: compatible. Everything it changes in the game's data is applied after this mod's, so where the two clash it wins. Its gear cycling (a slot's own select key, 1-4 by default, pressed again while that slot is in hand) doesn't overlap with this mod's keys (E, Shift+E, X, Z).
• GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems: compatible - artifact buffs and consumables as kits (Consumables Are Kits) that used to be in this mod live there now, with the same settings, along with the Hand Grenade, Stim Pack and Loot Mix from GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons. Its kit loot is applied after this mod's data changes and replaces this mod's consumable spawn odds along with the items.
• Turning a mod off: every GTFO.* mod's .cfg starts with [0. Mod] Enabled; set it to false and that mod loads nothing, and the others treat it as not installed.
• GTFO.EZ.AbsurdMoves: compatible - the dash that used to be in this mod lives there now, as its Dodge (hold Shift, double-tap W/A/S/D). Install it if you want the dash back. Its own Run Speed and Stamina settings are gone the other way: this mod's [Movement] Run Speed Multiplier and [Stamina] Stamina Multiplier now cover both, with or without AbsurdMoves installed.
• GTFO.CrashTestDummies and GTFO.SkipDrop: compatible - they patch level building and the elevator drop, nothing this mod touches.

Attributions

This mod is an independent, from-scratch implementation (no code or data copied from any of the projects below, except where noted) built as a code plugin rather than datablock JSON, specifically so it survives game updates without needing a rebuild for every patch. Its design still owes a real debt to others' prior work:

• Mendu — creator of EasyMode, the original datablock-JSON mod whose feature list (health, regen, stamina, fall damage, ammo, flashlights, detection range) this mod reimplements.
• GTFriendlyO (Carb_Crusaders / Heaveness) and Friendly GTFO (EcoLight) — their published changelogs and balance iterations (including a health multiplier that was tried higher and walked back) are what this mod's default values are tuned against, rather than guessing.
• Team_Chicken, creator of Health And Melee Tweaks — demonstrated the core technique this mod is built on: editing the game's own loaded PlayerDataBlock from a plugin instead of shipping replacement JSON, so the game's built-in systems keep doing the work.
• atime1pm, creator of LowSpecGaming — reference example for iterating every FlashlightSettingsDataBlock via GameDataBlockBase<T>.GetAllBlocks().
• The GTFO-Modding community — the GTDO wiki's datablock reference and the GTFO-API source are what made it possible to find the real field names (health, movementDetectionDistance, etc.) and the GameDataInit.Initialize hook point this mod relies on, instead of guessing at an undocumented API.
• AlexanderMakunin, creator of BetterTerminal (Thunderstore: Daem0n/BetterTerminal, MIT, Copyright (c) 2026 AlexanderMakunin) — Ping Anywhere uses its technique for owning a terminal command: writing the command's output straight into the terminal's buffers so the game doesn't also run it, and expiring the ping marker afterwards. The output-writing helper follows BetterTerminal's TerminalCommandOutput.WriteImmediate closely.
• The BepInEx team — the modding framework and loader this mod (and essentially every other GTFO mod) runs on.
• Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic) — AI assistant used throughout development: implementing the patches, reverse-engineering datablock fields, and writing/auditing this documentation.

Changelog

v19

• Verified the bot tool controls against the game's turret-handling code: Shift+E only ever picks a bot actually carrying a Sentry Gun (mine deployer/C-foam/bio tracker bots are skipped), and Z correctly matches every currently placed sentry back to the bot whose backpack owns it and recalls them all at once. Exhaustive bug hunt pass found no real bugs - behavior matches what's documented and already confirmed in play.
• Moves in step with the GTFO.EZ family's version number (GTFO.EZ, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdMoves and GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems share one).

v18

• Moves in step with the GTFO.EZ family's version number (GTFO.EZ, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdMoves and GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems share one). No change in this mod's own behavior.

v17

• GTFO.EZ.Shared submodule bump: SharedOwner.Order no longer lists GTFO.CrashTestDummies, which dropped Insert/Delete (and this submodule) in its own v17. No change in this mod's own behavior.
• GTFO.CrashTestDummies and GTFO.SkipDrop join the vN scheme this release, so every GTFO.* mod now shares one version number.

v16

• Insert and Delete swapped: Insert is now infinite health, Delete is now infinite ammo. Both also always announce in the console now, not just the event log. Shared code (GTFO.EZ.Shared), so GTFO.EZ, its Absurd companions and GTFO.CrashTestDummies all pick it up.
• Moves in step with the GTFO.EZ family's version number (GTFO.EZ, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdMoves and GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems share one).

v15

• Added [Stamina] Stamina Multiplier (default 1.0, vanilla): divides every stamina action cost (sprinting, jumping, walking, crouching, strafing) by it and multiplies stamina regen by the same factor. Moved over from GTFO.EZ.AbsurdMoves' Run Speed/Stamina feature, so it works even without that mod installed; AbsurdMoves' own copy of it is gone (its Run Speed half only ever stacked a second multiplier on top of this mod's own [Movement] Run Speed Multiplier, which already covered it).
• Moves in step with the GTFO.EZ family's version number (GTFO.EZ, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdMoves and GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems share one).

v14

• Load confirmation now lists every GTFO.* mod that's installed and switched on - one "<mod> vN Active" line each (GTFO.EZ, its Absurd add-ons, CrashTestDummies, SkipDrop) - under the rundown title and in the in-level warden-intel message.
• Bug fix: Shift+E could still place your own sentry when the sentry's update ran before the hotkey that frame; the press itself now counts.
• Bug fix: Shift+E picked any bot carrying an undeployed tool (mine deployer, C-foam, bio tracker) ahead of a sentry bot; only sentry carriers are picked now.
• Moves in step with the GTFO.EZ family's version number (GTFO.EZ, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdMoves and GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems share one).

v13

• Versioning: the GTFO.EZ family - GTFO.EZ, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons, GTFO.EZ.AbsurdMoves and GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems - now shares one version number, starting at v13 for all four, so a matching set is easy to spot. This release folds in everything briefly numbered v14 during development (never released as such).
• New master switch: [0. Mod] Enabled (default true) is the config file's first entry; set it to false and the whole mod is off - nothing is patched, no tuning, no hotkeys. The other GTFO.* mods treat a GTFO.EZ switched off this way as not installed, and this mod does the same for them.
• New Insert (infinite ammo) and Delete (infinite health) toggles, announced in the event log on the left, shared by every GTFO.* mod so they never clash when several are installed. The shared on-screen message code (MessageHelper) lets any GTFO.* mod use the warden panel, the event log, the line under the crosshair or the subtitle line.
• New Sentries pass through each other (Sentries, on by default): a sentry shoots and sees straight through another one, players' and bots' bullets pass through sentries, and two can stand overlapping.
• Sentry guns place and pick back up instantly - the hold-to-confirm charge is gone by default. New Deploy/Pickup Interaction Duration Multiplier under Sentries, default 0; set it to 1.0 to restore the vanilla hold time.
• Experimental (on by default): while aiming your own equipped sentry at a valid spot, Shift+E deploys the first bot with an undeployed tool there instead; Z recalls every bot-placed tool still down straight back into its bot (both host-only - bots belong to the host); X places your own sentry without pulling it out - at your aim if you're holding it, otherwise on flat ground you can see just ahead of you (not while downed). Placing your own sentry from your hands switches you back to the weapon you had before. These call the bot AI's own methods directly; set Bots Deploy On Shift+E (SPIKE) under Experimental to false to turn all three keys off.
• New Ping Anywhere (Experimental, on by default): PING <KEY> from any terminal reaches an item anywhere in the level, not just the terminal's own zone; the marker shows for 10 s. Same-zone pings are left to the game's own PING, and any error falls back to it. Technique credit: BetterTerminal by AlexanderMakunin (MIT).
• Fog: Fog Density Multiplier had no visible effect in-game however low it was set, so it's replaced by Disable Fog (default on), which turns fog off via its Enabled flag. Fog still showed in play, so a new fog clearing sphere follows you too - the same fog-system sphere the Fog Repeller carves out, without its light, sound or 70 s limit. It starts at 4 m and widens to 25 m over 90 s each level; its strength copies the vanilla Fog Repeller's own. Tunable under the new Fog Clearing section.
• Loot: this mod's consumable spawn odds (glow sticks, lock melters, C-foam, trip mines and fog repellers off by default) always apply; GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems' Consumables Are Kits, when installed and on, replaces the items after them. A loot table where every item is disabled now spawns nothing rather than running an all-zero lottery. Disabled consumables are no longer turned into syringes, and the two syringe spawn-odds settings are gone.
• Moved to the companion mods: the I2-LP overheal (now the Stim Pack, a consumable of its own), the artifact buffs and Consumables Are Kits live in GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems; the dash lives in GTFO.EZ.AbsurdMoves as its Dodge. The I2-LP is a vanilla heal again here. Settings that moved stay in an existing .cfg as leftover lines that do nothing; GTFO.EZ.AbsurdItems copies your artifact and kit settings over once.
• Bug fix: a negative multiplier, range or percentage in the config applied as-is (negative health, damage or spawn counts); every such setting is now held at 0 or more. Defaults are unchanged.
• With GTFO.EZ.AbsurdWeapons installed, its weapons are built after this mod's tuning of the vanilla ones, so they start from the tuned values. See Compatibility.

v11

• Bug fix: Health Regen Cap Multiplier's default of 0.5 (10%), introduced in v8, turned out to have no stated rationale anywhere in that commit or the changelog - unlike every other default change in this mod, which cites a reason. It also never matched how the mod was actually played: because of the stale-.cfg bug below, any install that predates v8 was never actually affected by it in the first place, silently staying at the original 2.0 (40%) the whole time. Reverted the default back to 2.0 (40%) to match that original, actually-played-with value, and extended the v10 migration to also catch anyone who did get moved onto the short-lived 0.5.
• Whole-number stats (ammo counts, clip size, pellet count, enemy caps, loot counts, etc.) now always round in the player's favor when a multiplier leaves a fraction, instead of rounding to nearest-even: anything where more helps you rounds up, anything where fewer helps you (enemy counts, shotgun spread) rounds down. At default settings this can add 1 to an ammo value where the x1.5 ammo multiplier lands on a half.
• Every individual-weapon setting now names the actual gun it affects (e.g. "Weapon - Rifle Auto" is the Malatack LX Assault Rifle), both in the config file's descriptions and in a new Weapon column on the README's weapon table. Section names are unchanged, so existing settings carry over. 16 of the 49 fire-mode slots turned out to have no player weapon at all - now labelled.
• Bug fix: each mod update re-ran every past default-migration, not just the new ones, so if you'd deliberately set something back after an earlier update (say, re-enabled Lock Melters, or put fall damage back to vanilla) the next update quietly reset it again. Each migration now runs once per install and never again.
• Fog Repeller spawn odds now default to disabled (0), joining the other disabled consumables - with fog already cut 90%, they mostly took up loot slots.
• I2-LP (health) syringes are now a temporary life buff: they add 50% of max health (vanilla: a random 5-15%) and can overheal past 100% - inject at 65% and you're at 115%. Everything above the health you had when injecting then drains away at 1% of max health per second. Drop below that pre-syringe health (say, from a hit) and the buff cancels on the spot. A second syringe stacks on top, and a med kit used mid-buff is kept rather than drained. Configurable under Consumables as "I2-LP Syringe Heal Amount" (0 keeps vanilla) and "I2-LP Buff Drain (% of max health per second)" (0 makes it a normal heal capped at max health).
• The I2-LP is renamed "Stim Pack" in game - pickup, inventory and terminal, where its key becomes STIM_PACK_123. Configurable as "I2-LP Display Name" under Consumables; empty keeps the vanilla name.
• On first launch, turns on four of the game's own control options: the comms menu toggles open/ closed with Q instead of having to hold it, sprint toggle, aim toggle, and stand when jumping. Applied once only - change any of them back in the game's settings and they stay changed.
• Disabled consumables now turn into syringes instead of just vanishing: each disabled item's loot slot becomes an I2-LP (health) or IIx (melee buff) syringe at the same odds, alternating within each loot table. Previously their share went to whatever was left - so 23 tables, including every common "Baseline" zone, dropped nothing but Long Range Flashlights, and 25 tables had nothing left to drop at all. Med/ammo/tool packs aren't used here: those get filled by the level's resource budget and would likely spawn empty from a consumable table.
• Bug fix: with one syringe type's spawn odds set to 0, disabled consumables still alternated onto it, so half their loot slots spawned nothing. They now all go to the syringe that's enabled.

v10

• Bug fix: A full audit of every config default's git history turned up more entries hit by the same stale-.cfg bug as v9's loot fix: Health Regen Rate Multiplier (5.0->0.5) and Health Regen Cap Multiplier (2.0->0.5) from v8, Fall Damage Multiplier (1.0->0.1) and Fall Damage Min Height Multiplier (2.0->1.0) from v5, Flashlight Angle/Intensity Multiplier (1.25->1.0) from v2, and Revive Duration Multiplier (1.0->0.33) from v8 all changed their default without a migration, so upgraders from before the relevant version could still be stuck on values as old as v1. The one-time migration added here now covers all of these too.
• Bug fix: a single try/catch wrapped all 9 of the mod's tweak categories (player stats, fog, loot, weapons, etc.), so one category throwing an exception - e.g. a future game patch renaming a field - silently skipped every other, unrelated category too. Each category now fails independently and logs which one broke, instead of one bad category taking the rest down with it.
• The in-level "Goo goo. Gah gah." warden-intel message now stays up for 30 seconds instead of 15, still starting 90 seconds into a level - easier to actually notice.
• Added a real test suite: the weapon/melee config-table data and multiplier math that used to live only in Plugin.cs/GameDataTweaks.cs moved to a new GTFO.EZ.Core project with no BepInEx/Il2Cpp dependency, so it can be unit tested (tests/GTFO.EZ.Core.Tests, 21 NUnit tests) without the game installed. Dev-facing only - no gameplay change.

v9

• Explosive Trip Mine and C-Foam Tripmine spawn odds now default to disabled (0), joining Glow Stick, Lock Melter, and C-Foam Grenade - vanilla frequency was judged too cluttered, same call as the others.
• Bug fix: Glow Stick (v5), and Lock Melter/C-Foam Grenade (v8), were meant to default to disabled (0) spawn odds, but BepInEx preserves whatever value already exists in an upgrader's .cfg file - so anyone who'd installed before the relevant version stayed stuck at the old vanilla (1.0) default forever and kept seeing them at full frequency. Added a one-time migration that nudges those settings (now including the two above) to their intended default on first launch of this version, gated so it never re-applies - if you'd deliberately re-enabled one of them since, your choice is kept.

v8

• Added a Vanilla column to every remaining table that was missing one (consumable spawn odds, all four Expedition Balance subsections, all four melee weapon action types), so every exposed stat now shows what it's being compared against instead of just its tuned/default value.
• Exposed TentacleTraps and ParasiteNests (on ExpeditionBalanceDataBlock) as 14 new config options, all left at vanilla (1.0) by default: both are StaticEnemyData references with the same 7-field shape already exposed for roaming/sleeper enemies (Health, Attack Damage, Max Per Zone, Max Small/Medium/Large/Huge Area), confirmed via IL inspection of the game's own assembly.
• Credited Claude Opus 5.5 in Attributions for its role throughout development.
• Added a Fog Density Multiplier (new, default 0.1 / -90%) patched onto every FogSettingsDataBlock - vanilla fog was judged more annoying than fun.
• Health Regen Rate Multiplier default lowered from 5.0 to 0.5 (0.2/s -> 0.1/s) and Health Regen Cap Multiplier default lowered from 2.0 to 0.5 (20% -> 10%).
• Revive Duration Multiplier default lowered from 1.0 to 0.33 (4s -> 1.32s), moving it from "exposed but vanilla" into the core tuned defaults.
• Lock Melter and C-Foam Grenade spawn odds now default to disabled (0), joining Glow Stick.
• Bug fix: Plugin.VERSION was still hardcoded 5.0.0 from the last release despite all of the above - the in-game confirmation message would have shown the wrong major version. Fixed to match the real package version before release.
• Added a Bots Always Equip Sentry Gun option (off by default): forces a bot's Tool slot to the basic Sentry Gun the moment it gets gear, whether filling an empty slot or replacing a player. Resolved through the game's own GD.Gear.Basic_SentryGun name lookup rather than a hardcoded ID.
• Exposed ArchetypeDataBlock (every ranged weapon's fire modes, plus sentries) as ~380 new config options. Core combat stats (Damage, Stagger, Precision, Clip Size, Reload Time) get a two-tier multiplier - a Weapon Type slider shared by every fire mode in that family, times an Individual Weapon slider for one specific fire mode - covering ~50 archetypes across ~20 weapon types, all left at vanilla (1.0) by default. Every other archetype stat (ammo cost, fire rate, spread, burst timing, equip speed, etc.) plus sentry-specific targeting/combat stats get one flat multiplier shared by every weapon instead. IDs and ownership confirmed by logging GearCategoryDataBlock/ArchetypeDataBlock at boot.
• Bug fix: package/README.md's embedded changelog copy had drifted out of sync with package/CHANGELOG.md - still headed v6 and missing the two bullets above. Pre-release audit caught it; the two files are back in sync.
• Bug fix: the root README.md and package/README.md both still advertised "155 config entries" after the weapon/sentry exposure above added ~380 more. Updated to 530+ throughout.

v5

• Bug fix: Remove Combat Stamina Penalty previously equalized a pair of fields that are both 0 at vanilla regardless of combat state, so it did nothing. It now correctly equalizes the real penalty (0.15/s vs 0.25/s regen while resting) and removes the 90% stamina cap while in combat.
• Fall damage amount is now actually cut to 10% of normal, on top of the unchanged no-damage height (previously only the height was touched, not the damage itself).
• Exposed more stats as config options, all left at vanilla by default unless noted: enemy max health, enemy melee/tentacle attack damage, consumable spawn rate per zone, big pickup spawn rate per zone, revive duration, 8 more individual consumable spawn-odds stats, the full per-difficulty-tier ExpeditionBalanceDataBlock (~40 stats covering resources, enemies, level generation, and doors), and every melee weapon stat (76 entries: 4 weapons x 19 stats each, organized by weapon then by action type).
• Glow Stick spawn odds now default to disabled (0) instead of vanilla — a real tuned default, not just exposed.
• Corrected several "vanilla" values in the docs that were placeholders or incomplete: revive duration (4s), flashlight angle/intensity (vary by light type, not a flat x1), and enemy detection distance (there's a second, 20m sleeper profile alongside the 8m normal one).
• Trimmed two config descriptions (Health Regen Cap Multiplier, Weapon Ammo Multiplier) that exceeded the in-game config editor's 200-character limit and were getting cut off.
• Pre-release cleanup: removed a leftover debug log line that fired on every revive, consolidated a redundant double-iteration over the consumable loot table, and brought both READMEs and the manifest description up to date with everything above.

v4

• In-level warden-intel confirmation message now shows 90 seconds after spawn instead of 30, so it lands once you're actually in the level rather than right at the drop-in.

v3

• Flashlight angle/intensity tweak now defaults to vanilla (x1.0) instead of x1.25 — vanilla flashlights were already fine as-is — but the config option is still there to retune if you want.
• Exposed more stats as config options, all left at vanilla by default: walk/run/air/crouch/ladder move speed, jump height, friendly fire damage, battery capacity and drain rate (small/medium/ large tools), and no-air (suffocation) damage rate and depletion time.
• The in-game confirmation message now includes the mod's major version (e.g. "GTFO.EZ v3 Active...").

v2

• Added an in-game confirmation message: a line on the rundown-select screen, and a warden-intel message 30 seconds after you spawn into a level.

v1

• Initial release: health, regen, stamina, fall damage, ammo, flashlight, and enemy detection tweaks, all config-driven multipliers applied at game-data load time.
