Vanilla Plus

Welcome to Vanilla Plus by Project Zaero.

• This is a massive rebalance of the base game. Please report any issues you find to Project Zaero#9999 on Discord.

Changes:

• Gear rebalancing, including some nerfs to overtuned weapons and buffs to underperforming weapons.
• Melee balance overhaul; you can use something other than Sledge now.
• Enemy rebalance; some changes include increased shooter damage, more aggressive tanks, rework of shadows, and more.
• Some custom syringes added to the drop pool on maps with syringe drops.
• Stamina toned down significantly.
• Player health adjustments and fall damage reduced.
• NO Custom enemies (had to resist the urge on this one, the game really needs this...)

See "Change Log" included in download for more details.
