Avoid Getting 1 Shot

About this mod Author’s original text

Helps avoid the problem of getting one shot by random mechanics as difficutly gets higher

  • Stagger turns damage you take into a dot that ticks 5 times over 4 seconds
  • This allows games to turn into being overwhelmed by enemies instead of dying to one shots
  • This addon definitley makes the game easier so you might want to increase difficulty to compensate
  • You can configure how many times the dot ticks and how frequently in the configuration
  • The default setup is one initial tick for 1/6 of the damage you would take, and then 5 hits for 1/6 of the damage over a 4 second window.
  • The fraction of upfront damage taken is 1/(numHits + 1), and this is the only damage that can kill you
  • The addon compensates for repulsion armor plating by dividing it's effectiveness by the number of stagger ticks
  • If you use a damage immunity, the damage you would have taken is still added to your stagger
  • However, you can immune or reduce the damage taken from your stagger dots with DRs and defensives

Installation

  • Drag the folder into your BepInEx/Plugins folder

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.
