I've gone back through the damage values and decided to lower the bonus critical damage enemies do in later acts back to zero. Once I find out if its possible to buff enhanced/master xcom weapons critical damage then I can increase damage across the board for friendlies and enemies. So for balancing critical damage will stay as 50% (approximately) of base weapon damage and not take into account later buffs.

This time I built the mod from scratch as I should have done from the beginning. This means there is no weird custom smg in the game or anything else besides the changes to crit damage. Sadly due to a typo I had accidentally buffed the damage of the Assault Rifle by 1 which meant that firstly, it was doing damage on par with the shotgun and 2, it was doing an extra 2 max damage if you critted on max spread. Now the gun performs the same as the SMG but longer range like base game.

Removed the Custom SMG that was accidentally left in the default project.

After multiple attempts the mod is now 0.6mb like it should be, no more unnecessary added shaders. I am just unsure what will happen to save files so I apologize in advance for broken saves.

update

Tried to remove the uneccessary shaders since its bloating the download and may cause problems later. If someone knows how to do that please let me know

update

First upload of the mod, let me know if theres any problems.
