Ballistic Sniper

BepInEx mod for Mycopunk that adds the Anti-Material Rifle — a dedicated long-range kinetic sniper.

Weapon

Name	Anti-Material Rifle
API	ballistic_sniper
Gear ID	87421
Base model	Cartridge SMG (runtime clone)

Fantasy

Pure long-range precision. Slow, deliberate, high-impact kinetic shots. No energy charge, no smart targeting.

Base stats

Stat	Value
Damage	145
Fire rate	48 RPM (1.25 s between shots)
Magazine	5
Reserve	20
Reload	3.1 s total (single-round; ~0.62 s per shell)
Fire mode	Semi / bolt-action
Projectile	Travel time + bullet drop
Falloff	Soft after long range
ADS	Slow (~0.55 s), strong zoom
Hip-fire	Very poor

Single-round reload

Reload chambers one round at a time. Each shell’s animation is scaled so a full empty magazine still takes about the full reload duration. Press fire during reload (with at least one round chambered) to cancel the remaining shells and shoot immediately.

Architecture

Runtime clone of CartridgeSMG (always present in Global.AllGear):

1. Clone prefab → new GearInfo + empty upgrade pool
2. ApplyBallisticSniperStats rewrites GunData
3. BallisticSniperBehaviour marks the gear for reload hooks
4. Equip remaps NGO spawn to the vanilla base gun, then stamps catalog identity

File	Role
Plugin.cs	BepInEx entry, registration timing
WeaponRegistration.cs	Clone, GearInfo, sniper stats, AllGear inject
BallisticSniperBehaviour.cs	Identity host on catalog / live instances
BallisticSniperReloadHook.cs	Single-round reload + per-shell duration
SpawnGearHooks.cs	Equip remap + GearSelectionWindow safety

Install

<Mycopunk>/BepInEx/plugins/BallisticSniper.dll

Dependencies: Mycopunk, BepInEx 5.4.2403+.

Build

dotnet build --configuration Release

Output: bin/Release/netstandard2.1/BallisticSniper.dll

Persistence

Save data is keyed by gear ID (87421). The mod registers into AllGear before PlayerData.OnAwake runs AddGear, then re-binds GearData.Gear afterward so levels, unlock, and equip (weapon1ID / weapon2ID) survive relaunch.

Look for: [BallisticSniper] Persistence OK: level=… unlocked=…

In-game checklist

1. BepInEx log shows gear registration (ballistic_sniper, id 87421)
2. Gear select lists Anti-Material Rifle (auto-unlocked)
3. Equip primary → slow semi fire, high damage, small mag
4. Reload loads one round at a time
5. ADS is accurate when standing still; hip-fire is poor
6. Level up / equip, full quit, relaunch → progress and loadout kept
7. Upgrade UI shows hex grid + inventory (Match-Grade Rounds is in the pool; own instances via drops/craft)

Notes

• Visuals currently reuse the Cartridge SMG model; swap later via ModelImportHooks / AssetBundle.

• 28 upgrades registered (Heavy Grain through Overkill, plus Boundary Incursion). See upgrade notes.txt.

• Hold reload with full mag + High Explosive equipped to throw/detonate C4.

• Uses standard projectile bullets (travel time + drop), not rail/hitscan.

• Multiplayer: all clients need the same mod and matching gear id.
