Wazzup guys, this is a quickie modpack I made in the span of one day. Since I've already made Project Alpha II, the Project Strelok series and its Hardcore mode, its safe to say that I've made a few of those "dark and gritty" modpacks as the uninspiring and very unoriginal guys community say these days. But, I guess "threes the charm(?)" since I've released G R U N G E, a combination of both Proj. Strelok and Hardcore but split right in the middle to try to get the sweet spot.

This pack brings in gameplay elements from Echoes like the weapon weight and Hardcore's rebalanced arsenal to try to get the best of both worlds. However, I aimed G R U N G E to be a bit more arcadey compared to Echoes and Hardcore gameplay wise. G R U N G E isn't trying to be the next Nightmare, I just wanted to make something new (also, its just a blatant excuse to play Nirvana music because its a phase, trust me). It's also not the TRS Beta, although I use a lot of elements from it, I wasn't aiming for it stylistically. I only used the Beyta survivors and some infected because they sorta fit the vibe I'm going for with G R U N G E. But I'll say again: THIS IS NOT NIGHTMARE NOR THE BETA

I'll reiterate again, G R U N G E isn't trying to be horror based, nor is it trying ultra arcade. G R U N G E is both, it feels like a horror based modpack, but has the mannerisms of an arcade-y modpack.

1. Guns carry less ammo both in the magazine, so make every shot count
2. Weapons slow you down with one handed melees capable of making you faster while the M60 can slow you down.
3. All glows will be disabled, realism or not
4. Snipers do not have a crosshair in scope mode unlike Echoes and PAII, so hip fire can be more reliable
5. Guns you encounter outside the saferoom are NOT permanent, once you grab one, that's all you get
6. Witches are a THREAT, they will attack everyone once startled, but they have 500 health points to balance
