GnomeBangerEnhancements

GnomeBangerEnhancements is a host-only gameplay enhancement mod for R.E.P.O.

It strengthens both Bang and Gnome in a single package.

The host installs it, and the modified enemy behavior is driven from the host side.

This mod is intended for players who want more dangerous Bang explosions and much more oppressive Gnome movement and valuable destruction pressure.

It does not add new enemies.

It upgrades the behavior and combat threat of the existing Bang and Gnome enemies.

Gameplay video

Overview

This mod enhances these enemies.

Bang

Bang becomes more dangerous through adjustable ignition-to-explosion timing, stronger explosion damage, stronger knockback, and unified explosion size control.

Gnome

Gnome becomes tougher and more oppressive through fixed HP tuning, stronger jump performance, faster orbit movement around targets, larger attack reach, faster post-attack recovery, stronger retreat behavior, stronger valuable targeting pressure, and optional one-hit valuable destruction.

Host Only

This is a host-only mod.

Only the host is expected to install it.

Reason

Bang fuse progression, explosion spawning, and Gnome director-driven behavior are fundamentally controlled from the host side.

Because of that, this mod is designed so the host applies the behavioral changes and the game continues to synchronize the results through the existing game logic.

Main Features

Bang enhancements

FuseSeconds

Changes the time from ignition to explosion.

Range 0 to 30 seconds.

ExplosionSize

Applies one explosion size setting to both normal explosion and death explosion.

ExplosionDamage

Applies one explosion damage setting to both player damage and enemy damage, and also to both normal explosion and death explosion.

ExplosionForceMultiplier

Applies one knockback multiplier setting to both normal explosion and death explosion.

AffectDeathExplosion

Controls whether the custom explosion settings also apply to the death explosion.

Gnome enhancements

Health

Sets Gnome max HP directly as a fixed value instead of using a multiplier.

AttackOrbitSpeed

Controls how fast Gnome circles around its attack target.

This is intentionally strengthened by default.

JumpMultiplier

Applies one multiplier to all Gnome jump-related forces.

This includes regular jumps, stuck escape jumps, and gap jumps.

AttackRadius

Controls the range at which Gnome can start attacking.

ZeroNoticeDelay

When enabled, Gnome skips the normal notice delay and reacts immediately.

ZeroAttackCooldown

When enabled, Gnome attack cooldown is reduced to zero after an attack.

OneHitBreakValuable

When enabled, Gnome can destroy valuables in one hit.

ValuablePriorityRadius

Controls how far around the target player Gnome searches for valuables to prioritize.

ZeroIdleTime

When enabled, Gnome director idle time is effectively skipped so Gnome pressure starts again immediately.
