Adds armor piercing to Penetrator. This gives it a benefit outside of VATS and makes it actually do something for melee attacks. The bonus is 15% per rank.
Removes the armor piercing from Rifleman. Ranks 4 and 5 have increased chance to instantly cripple the limb they hit. The bonus was 6/8%, now it’s 7/15% because this isn’t a big benefit anyway. Rifleman 2 and 3 add 10/20% reduced AP costs.*
- Normally, pistol grips reduce AP cost by 10-15%, while rifle stocks increase it by 20%. This means rifles will still cost a bit more to use than pistols, but it won’t be nearly as severe. (1.2 * 0.8 = 0.96 vs pistol 0.9 or 0.85)
Please be aware that armor piercing only affects physical damage. This is a game engine bug and not something I can fix.
