RotDurability

RotDurability

The inspect panel shows durability as a percentage, so every weapon on a shop

shelf reads 100% and there is no way to tell which one actually lasts

longer. A knife at 100% and a club at 100% are not remotely the same purchase.

RotDurability replaces that percentage with uses remaining, and adds a

DPS figure next to the damage range.

Durability: 47 / 60 uses instead of Durability: 100%

Damage: 12-28 (30 dps) instead of Damage: 12-28

Now the comparison is obvious: 60 swings out of a club versus 15 out of a

knife, and the damage numbers tell you which one kills faster rather than just

which one hits harder.

What it does

Uses remaining. Durability is stored as points, and every weapon spends a

different number of points per swing. A club with 300 points that spends 5 per

hit gets 60 swings; a knife with 75 points that also spends 5 gets 15. The

panel now shows the number that matters.

DPS. Damage per second, from the weapon's real attack cadence — not just

its damage range. A hard, slow club and a weak, fast blade can land in very

different places once speed is accounted for.

Both numbers update live and account for enchantments. An enchanted weapon's

bonus damage is read off that specific item, so a Blazing or Infested variant

shows its own DPS with no setup and no lookup tables.

Demolition Power is deliberately excluded from DPS. It only applies to

breakable scenery, so folding it in would flatter crowbars and mallets and make

the number useless for comparing weapons against enemies.

How it knows

Per-use costs and attack speeds for the base game's weapons ship with the mod,

so the numbers are right the first time you look — including on a fresh save,

in a shop, before buying anything.

Anything not covered is learned as you play:

• Browsing a weapon in a shop reads its exact per-use cost.
• Using a weapon learns the cost by watching durability fall, which covers

dungeon loot that shops never sell.

• Melee attack speed is timed from real swings, converging on the weapon's

true cadence rather than however fast you happened to be swinging.

What it learns is remembered between sessions, in two small files under

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Helden\Saved\. Both are plain text, safe to delete, and refill

on their own.

If a weapon's cost genuinely is not known yet, it shows honest durability

points rather than inventing a use count. A wrong number is worse than a

plain one.

Notes

• Client-side and cosmetic. It only rewrites text in your own inspect

panel. No gameplay values are touched, nothing is sent to other players, and

it is safe in multiplayer whether or not anyone else runs it.

• Non-weapon inspect panels — furniture, characters, treasure — are left

completely alone.

• Sustained-fire weapons like the Rot Burner drain durability continuously

rather than per shot, so they keep showing points. "Uses" would be a

fabricated unit for them.

Install

Install with a mod manager, or drop the mod folder's contents into your

profile. Requires GrainRot_UE4SS, which the manager pulls in for you.
