Nutcracker

Settings	Description

Commentary

Nutcrackers feel great, almost perfect, even. I did include a couple of settings for them, just for fun, but they are disabled by default for a reason.

The only "issue" with nutcrackers is how easy farming extra value from shotguns becomes after you get your first one. A point-blank meatshot will always instakill a nutcracker, so even 1 shotgun with a single shell loaded can infinitely produce additional shotguns and ammo. This is crazy snowball potential!

The "last stand" setting exists to make shotgun farming a bit more difficult - with that setting enabled, a shotgun shot which would have previously instakilled the nutcracker will, instead, leave it at 1 HP. Thisdrastically increases the nutcracker's fire rate - so fast that you don't even have a chance to shoot the other barrel before it fires back! I hope that this encourages a little more strategy and keeps the tension high for future nutcracker encounters.

(Or, you can leave it disabled... because those meatshots are soo satisfying)
