Forlorn Future V1.2

[Obyrith]

"After the first invasion of earth was foiled by a lone marine, demonkind decided it was best to retreat to hell to prevent further losses, collecting whatever technology they could find in their wake to bring back to their homeworld. Through centuries of engineering the demons developed their own brand of cybernetic implants powered by argent at the cost of diminishing their magic prowess.
As the first demon emerged from the hell portal they saw that humanity had advanced along with them, yet this didn't deter them to march onwards into war and vindicate their fallen ancestors."

A complete tonal shift after my debut mod, Dark Passenger, Forlorn Future is a partial conversion which aims to overhaul the game with a new cyberpunk coat of pain.
Every weapon and monster has been altered to better reflect this aesthetic while also adding new functionalities to make them more deadly, basically you kill fast and you die fast.

In addition a new item has been added called "Argent Canister" which can be acquired by collecting a special resource dropped by enemies, this item will empower your equipped weapon in unique ways at the cost of preventing you from switching to other weapons while active.

Universal Mechanics:
Argent weapons will never need to reload, weapons that by default do reload will draw ammo from the reserved ammo pool instead of the magazine.
While augmented all actions such as kicking or throwing granades will be faster and have less downtime.
Pressing the reload button on an argent weapon will remove the argent canister and return it to its original state at the cost of deleting the canister itself.
