Overview

====================================================================

General changes

• Guards will now level up with players up to level 80.
• Increase base health

Diamond City

• Diamond City guards will now use different automatic weapons based on their level.
• They will have a higher chance of spawning with assault rifles at higher levels
• Diamond City guards will spawn baseball grenades

Bodyguard of Neighbor Town

• Neighborhood bouncers already use the bouncer weapon level list and now have access to more powerful weapons as they reach higher levels.
• Neighborhood bodyguards will spawn Molotov cocktail grenades

Caravan Guard

• Increased armor progression based on level
• They will get a mix of leather and metal armor, the higher the level the better
• Better weapon progression
• They will use similar weapon progression as Diamond City Guards

Recommended modules

====================================================================

While running the following mods as a prerequisite is not required, these mods would be great to run with this mod:

• Diamond City is safer
• Neighbor Town Bodyguard

compatibility

====================================================================

This is incompatible with other mods that edit guard NPCs in Diamond City and Good Neighbors.

Mods that add custom wards will not get changes from this mod unless they use the same vanilla level list.

NPCs that have been loaded by the game, i.e. they have spawned into Comonwealth and/or are referenced by a running script, may not pick up all changes, such as attribute changes. These require a new game.
