Huntsman tweaks mod

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Mod Discussion

I’m working on a mod to fix some of Huntsman’s QoL issues & address some of his balance concerns.
In addition to lessening the value of must pick talents & improve his talent choice flexibility.

I’m aware of his bad reputation & while I don’t personally agree with it, I think tweaks can be made to make both old & new Huntsman players happy.

QoL Tweaks

  • “Waste Not, Want Not” & related headshot procs should be more consistent
  • “Makin’ It Look Easy” now only effects ranged & is no longer consumed by melee
  • Added a 1 second internal cooldown to “Thick Hide” stack removal
  • Manbow timings & equip animation jankiness smoothed out
  • Blunderbuss now has a “bullseye” pellet, scoring headshots should be more consistent

Things I want to address

  • Huntsman’s base ammo sustain in Chaos Wastes; Keep It Coming & Shot Crafter are almost mandatory if you want sustain & to avoid trait RNG.

  • Certain talents like: Make 'Em Bleed, Burst of Enthusiasm, Longshanks & Head Down and Hidden are not very well desired and in need of tweaks.

  • Reduce the must pick nature of specific talents in certain builds, e.g Shot Crafter, Keep it Coming, One in the Eye. (Ideally talents should be a playstyle pick, influenced by weapon choice)

  • Open up new playstyles, perhaps hybrid options

  • Improve his “accessibility” outside of Keep it coming/Shot Crafter builds.

The mod is work in progress & private until I figure out what most people want.
I’m asking for your opinions & feedback on official balance Huntsman.
What you like, dislike, what you want to see changed & why. Your ideas.

Very interesting, I will test it with pleasure, and if you want I can throw a couple of ideas

Any ideas are welcome.
Bear in mind this isn’t a big grand flashy rework mod.
His existing feel will be kept intact, most of the changes are QoL, accessibility improvements, small rebalances etc etc.
