About this mod Author’s original text

ArtificerM1Rework

Reworks Artificer's primaries to apply damage over multiple hits, with attack speed scaling hit count instead of cooldown.

Slightly inspired by Returns.

Changes

  • Firebolt
  • Damage split from 280% -> 4x70%
  • Each DoT tick has a 2.5m blast radius, and sticks to each enemy hit.
  • Technically allows for double-dipping on damage in scenarios where enemies are grouped up enough to get caught in the AoE, but this is more of a rare bonus than a main feature to play around.
  • Hitcount scales with attack speed.
  • CD no longer scales with attack speed.
  • Plasmabolt
  • Damage increased from 280% -> 4x85%, and now slows on hit.
  • This is a lingering AoE that repeatedly zaps enemies.
  • Slightly pulls in lightweight enemies.
  • Radius increased from 6m -> 7.5m
  • Hitcount scales with attack speed.
  • CD no longer scales with attack speed.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
