VAFS - LitR Patch
NOTE: I use the VAFS - LitR Patch as the very last thing in my load order, so I recommend you do the same.
Aimed to be true to the effects and balance of True Perks, as present in the LitR list.
Almost all VAFS versions of VATS effects from the original VAFS Redux mod are carried over into this patch, exceptions include:
- Perks which, in vanilla had VATS effects, but in LitR, are completely non-VATS related.
- Sniper Rank 1/2: LitR gives a cheap 20% slowdown effect while aiming and sneaking. To avoid redundant slow-time effects, this perk no provides a large bonus to the duration of VAFS while sneaking and aiming. If you're used to the Sniper Perk in LitR, this will essentially be a stronger slowdown for higher AP cost. If you're used to VAFS, then this will provide a noticeable extension to the VAFS duration.
- Penetrator: You can't shoot through stuff anymore, but I still wanted to provide a VAFS related bonus. Now the armor penetration effect of the perk is significantly stronger while using VAFS. This perk turns VAFS into an effective anti-armor tool, providing more raw damage against armored enemies than outside of VAFS, even with the 20% damage reduction in VAFS. Armor penetration values were balanced around the strength of Ad Victoriam, granting somewhat higher net damage with ballistic weapons to armored enemies than that perk does for laser weapons. Although Ad Victoriam's bonus also works on very low armor or non-armored enemies, where as Penetrator does not. Currently, Penetrator does not affect the addition damage threshold effects of power armor in LitR (although I would like to make it do that!)
Other Changes
- AP/sec cost in VAFS reduced from 30 to 28, to compensate for the Aim-Down-Sights AP drain in LitR.
- Fixed a bug in LitR True Perks where Night Person Rank 3 granted additional bonus effects not listed in the description.
- Fixed a bug in LitR True Perks where Mindwipe would not remove Penetrator Rank 3.
- Some updates to loading screen descriptions.
