Tweaks to Normal Difficulty

We made a couple of changes to the Normal difficulty. The goal is to give a more even experience to new and low level players. The gap between high damage and low damage weapons for the enemies was too large. This created a set of enemies that would prove too challenging for first time players, while the other set of enemies would prove to be no threat. The following changes were made:

  • Reduced the damage for enemy units that are using the following weapons:

    • Compact-5

    • M308

    • Jackal

    • Bronco

    • Mac10

  • Increased the damage for the enemy units that are using the following weapons:

    • Reinfield 880

    • M4
