Direct hit (updated)

Direct Hit is an engine-based damage calculation overhaul. This mod adds real body damage, taking inspiration from games like Tarkov or Arma 3. Damage is calculated based on the body part you hit and the armor covering it. This also includes power armor. Power Armor will completely negate damage until the armor value reaches zero.
