Chinese patch:

Author's words:

Hello everyone!

This is my replaceable armor plate mod and I decided to share my creation with you all.

If you like my work, please recommend it.

These boards require up to 12 hits before they break.

Scripted shortcuts (to reduce the need for keys) for first-person animation.

MCM settings:

Armor plate hit sound on/off

Armor plate breaking sound effect on/off

Armor Plate Hit Blur Effect Switch

Armor Plate Hit Camera Vibration On/Off

Alternate armor plate replacement animation on/off

Armor Plate Hit Camera Shock Strength Slider Settings

Craft items:

[Rap] Heavy Armor

[Rap] Medium Armor

[Rap] Little Armor

[Rap] Little Scrap Board

[Rap] Medium Scrap Armor

[Rap] Quickly make small scrap board x1

[Rap] Quickly Craft Medium Scrap Board x1

All items can be crafted at the Chemistry Station.

Update 1.4:

Hardcore ESP has removed the armor plate and now provides buffs/debuffs (see below) to you

New armor plates can now be replaced with other armor plates in the backpack.

You must ensure that no armor plates are attached before removing the mod.

If you equip the board, it must be used in the MCM menu (Mod reset "button").

Known issues:

Some melee attacks will hit the player multiple times, causing the board to break faster.

There are 6 conditions for license plates. (New || Worn || Slightly damaged || Damaged || Severely damaged || Broken)

You can check the board status by checking the hotkey or device inventory.

Armor condition:

New = 100% armor rating value

Wear = 90% armor rating value

Light damage = 75% Armor Rating

Damaged = 50% armor rating value

High Damage = 25% Armor Rating

Broken = 0% Armor Rating

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
