Deadly Difficulty
Deadly Difficulty increases the damage dealt by both the player and enemies on the Hard and Very Hard difficulties. This results in faster, deadlier encounters with less bullet sponging.
INSTALLATION – Requires an ini edit
1. – Install the mod to Starfield’s root directory, next to Starfield.exe (Not the Data folder)
2. – Locate and open the correct ini file.
2a. – Steam
Go to:
Documents\My Games\Starfield
Open StarfieldCustom.ini
(Create the file if needed)
2b. – Xbox/Gamepass
Go to:
C:\Xbox Games\Starfield\Content
Open Starfield.ini
3. – Add the following line to your ini file in the General section (Choose one option):
Difficulty Only:
[General]
sStartingConsoleC ommand=bat deadly_difficulty;
With Extras:
[General]
sStartingConsoleC ommand=bat deadly_difficulty; bat deadly_difficulty_extras
If you already have this line from another mod, simply add my new commands to the end after a semi-colon.
For example…
[General]
sStartingConsoleC ommand=STUFF FROM ANOTHER MOD; bat deadly_difficulty;
4. – Remove the space in the middle of ConsoleC ommand
5. – Choose either the Hard or Very Hard difficulty in-game.
Hard is recommended.
Very Hard is both too hard and too easy at the same time due to enemy reaction speed.
Extra Features
– A stronger screen effect when taking damage.
– Tweaks to some settings around how the AI uses cover.
– AI can stay in cover in a suppressed state for longer, but are more likely to take actions before it expires.
– Should hopefully be a bit less predictable.
FAQ:
Q: Why do I need do edit the ini for this?
A: Without the CreationKit to create a proper plugin, the simplest way to apply this mod’s changes is via console commands when the game is booting. That’s what the ini edits are for, they set all the required console commands to run before you even hit the main menu.
