About The Mod
===============
This is a custom version of my Reaper Balance mod that I made for the custom SP campaign "Kava" by Goober. Just as with the original version of my mod, the goal is to make a subtle mod which tweaks the balance without changing the looks or feel of the game.
Apart from balance changes to make harder difficulties more fair, this mod makes bullet weapons more accurate comparable to their MP counterparts. This makes the gameplay more rewarding for players with good aim.
==============
Installation
==============
Firstly, make sure that you have Kava SP campaign installed. You can get it from this link:
https://www.factionfiles.com/ff.php?action=file&id=5837
Then, to install this balance addon mod, place the z_ReaperBalanceKava.vpp file inside the the "Kava" folder (which would normally be inside "Red Faction/mods" directory) and then just play Kava.
To remove the balance mod, just delete the z_ReaperBalanceKava.vpp file.
============
Highlights
============
-All bullet weapons have less spread roughly comparable to their MP counterparts.
-Enemy Snipers do much less damage to make them more bearable in outdoor environments at higher difficulties.
-Homing projectiles of enemy aesirs have reduced homing characteristics to make it easier to dodge them.
