Generative AI usage

The entire code base of this mod was created with generative AI. Assets are free, licensed, paid for, or generated with AI tools. If you do not wish to play with AI-generated content, do not install this mod.

What BetterArmory does

Better Armory adds six weapons and four ammunition families to Lethal Company. Each weapon has first- and third-person animation, its own audio and impact effects. An ammo panel sits in the bottom-right corner of the screen. You choose in the config how the weapons can be acquired.

Requirements

Your mod manager installs these automatically:

• BepInExPack
• DawnLib
• LethalCompany InputUtils
• Y4NGZInteractions

Weapon Roster

Weapon	Ammunition	Magazine	Default price
Heavy Shotgun	Shotgun Shells	4	110
Revolver	Small Caliber Rounds	5	80
Pistol	Small Caliber Rounds	17	95
Assault Rifle	Rifle Rounds	30	140
Bolt-Action Rifle	Rifle Rounds	5	165
Flame Thrower	Fuel	100	120

Ammo is a pickup. It goes into a personal reserve that your weapons reload from. Ammo takes no inventory slots and is not lost on death.

The vanilla shotgun can fall back to the Shotgun Shells reserve once its own shells run out. You can also disable vanilla shotgun shells so that only Better Armory shells are used.

Gameplay

• Every firearm has a muzzle flash and a per-surface impact. Concrete, metal, wood and soft surfaces each get their own burst, bullet-hole decal and impact sound.
• Every weapon has its own first-person hold, fire, reload and running animations. Third-person animations are still a work in progress, and running has none yet.

HUD and interaction feedback

A crosshair appears only while you hold a Better Armory weapon or the vanilla shotgun. Each weapon has its own crosshair type, and it changes with what you are looking at or doing.

Configuration

Settings are in BepInEx/config/com.y4ngz.betterarmory.cfg. They cover shop listings, interior spawns, damage and ammunition.

Compatibility

Independent installation: Better Armory needs only the libraries listed under Requirements. The other Y4NGZ packages are optional companions - install any combination and each one lights up its extra behavior.
