Ammo Projectiles

USE MODS AT YOUR OWN RISK

Mods are not officially supported or endorsed by the game developers. Any mods you run in Single Player, Self-Hosted Multiplayer, or on a Dedicated Server are your own responsibility.

IMPORTANT: After every game update or mod update, remove all old versions of this mod from your ~mods folder before installing the new version.

Description

Variant: 7x

This mod boosts Windrose ammo projectile behavior with the main Experimental Stronger projectile-count, damage, crit, speed, stagger, armor penetration, and handling changes. NPC-only ammo files are excluded so hostile NPC weapon strength is not buffed by this package.

WORK IN PROGRESS!

Available Variants

• Ammo Projectiles 2x: Multiplies projectile counts by 2 and scales damage, crit, speed, stagger, armor penetration, and handling changes.
• Ammo Projectiles 3x: Multiplies projectile counts by 3 and scales damage, crit, speed, stagger, armor penetration, and handling changes.
• Ammo Projectiles 5x: Multiplies projectile counts by 5 and scales damage, crit, speed, stagger, armor penetration, and handling changes.
• Ammo Projectiles 7x: Multiplies projectile counts by 7 and scales damage, crit, speed, stagger, armor penetration, and handling changes.
• Ammo Projectiles 10x: Multiplies projectile counts by 10 and scales damage, crit, speed, stagger, armor penetration, and handling changes.

Changes

• Multiplies projectile counts by 7.

• Uses 1 as the projectile-count base when vanilla is 0.

• Gives neutral damage, crit, and speed fields a 0.7 scaled base.

• Adds 7.0 experimental stagger and armor penetration where supported.

• Reduces delay, gravity, scatter, and falloff penalties toward zero.

• Preserves original Windrose asset paths and loader metadata.

• Excludes DA_WeaponAmmo_FirearmProjectile_MobProjectile.json and DA_WeaponAmmo_Gunpowder_BlackbeardMusketeer.json because they affect NPC ammo strength.

Warning

This mod may conflict with other mods that change ammo projectile data, gunpowder data, weapon behavior, combat balance, or similar gameplay systems. Avoid using multiple mods with the same or similar functionality.

Once installed, removing the mod from an existing save may cause unexpected problems and could potentially lead to save corruption.

Please remember that the game is still in Early Access. Early mods can break after game updates, conflict with other mods, or cause problems with save files. If this happens, please do not open a support ticket with the game developers, as they are unlikely to be able to help with mod-related issues.

A known pattern has appeared with some mods that affect save files, especially mods that change player inventory, world state, backpack upgrades, stacks, custom items, decorations, or similar systems. Please take extra care when using any mod that affects persistent save data.

If something goes wrong, your savegame and world backups should be located here:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\XXXXXXXXXXXX_Backups\

Replace XXXXXXXXXXXX with your game profile number.

Donation / Test Server Access

Users who donate will receive access to my test server, where they can test server-side mods together with my other mods. The only exception is the BF reduction mod, which has already been tested on community servers.

If you donated, send me a DM here with your username or email, and I will send you the server information. This also applies to users who already donated through Ko-fi or PayPal.

Support The Project

If you would like this mod to be fully tested for self-hosted and dedicated server use, or if you simply enjoy the mod, you can support the project by buying me a coffee. It helps me pay for testing servers and motivates me to create more mods.
