Adjusted the damage for the following Beta/Gamma laser mods:

- Gatling Laser
- Ultracite Gatling Laser
- Plasma Gun
While these weapons are still being evaluated for overall balance, these particular mods over-shot the current target for fire damage mods (especially when taking into account the recent adjustments to creature health and resistances) and are being brought in line with similar mods for other weapons. This allows for more consistency among weapons and mods when making future changes.
Creature Balance
The creatures below will generally be less threatening at mid-level (especially 35-75) but should be a bit tougher towards level 100. In some cases, at lower level, these creatures may be slightly weaker or stronger to ensure that they’re appropriately engaging even when first met.
Their resistances have been adjusted in a way that it’s now more valuable to explore which damage types they are now weaker too.
These changes are similar to the creature changes that were made in the Skyline Valley and Milepost Zero updates.
The following creatures have been adjusted:
- Hellcat Mercenaries

Magazine Changes
The following Magazines have received updates. For the most part, these are direct increases to the Magazines’ effects.

- Astoundingly Awesome Tales 10: +35% more damage with scoped weapons while aiming, previously +15% without needing to aim.
- Dev Note: This magazine now specifically offers its benefit to weapons fired using manual aim and does not affect VATS.
- Backwoodsman 2: Name and cover art updated to match effect.

- Live and Love 1: +25 max HP while on a team, up from 10.

- US Covert operations Manual 1: +50 damage resistance while sneaking, up from +10 while sneking.
Backwoodsman 6 and Live and Love 3 far exceeded the intended level of benefit for magazines and have been adjusted to match their original effect of boosting Healing from food items. Backwoodsman 6’s prior change in the Once in a Blue Moon update had been made in error, and we apologize for the confusion.
Prior to this update, these magazines boosted all foods effects, including (but not limited) to Carry Weight, S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats, VATS Critical Attack damage, etc.
The effects of these magazines will be further adjusted if needed in future updates.
