Hardcore IA

[center][b][size=5][u]Description and quick overview[/u][/size][/b][/center]
[size=3][b][u]
[/u][/b][/size][list]
[][size=3]Changes mostly related to survivability of Ryder and his team. Nerfing stats, mods, augmentation and powers from OP state to make game a bit challenging. Now you may rely on cover shooting, crowd control, squad positioning.[/size]
[][size=3][size=3]Ryder [/size]and squadmates doing significantly more weapon damage now with Hardcore Weapons mod installed. But you and your team shields and HP stats decreased depends on the version you chose. [/size]
[][size=3]This mod standalone do not cover all the things so I made a list of mods to complete it. Some of them are modified by me to fit and avoid conflicts.[/size]
