How to create your own difficulty. (sorry for my terrible Engrishu)
1. Download and install FEAR Public Tools v2
2. Launch GDBEdit.exe located in "\FEAR Public Tools v2\Dev\Tools".
3. Use GDBEdit.exe to open FEAR.Gamdb00s located in "\FEAR Public Tools v2\Dev\Runtime\Game\Database" (you better backup Database folder before edit it, just in case)
4. Now edit it whatever you like.
5. When you are finished editing, click "compile for local" on the top bar in GDBEdit screen, then press OK.
6. Compile error will be displayed, but don't worry, just ignore it and continue building database.
7. If the compilation is successful, FEAR.Gamdb00p will appeared in "\FEAR Public Tools v2\Dev\Runtime\Game\Database".
8. Launch ArchiveEdit.exe located in "\FEAR Public Tools v2\Dev\Tools".
9. Right click "Untitled" then click New Folder, rename the New Folder to "database" without the quotation marks.
10. Drag and drop the FEAR.Gamdb00p into the "database" folder you've just created. (Do not confuse it with FEAR.Gamdb00s)
11. Save your new archive into your FEAR folder(where FEAR.exe located).
12. Open Default.archcfg located in your FEAR folder with Notepad.
13. Add the line "ARCHIVE_YOU_CREATED.Arch00" to Default.archcfg without the quotation marks.
14. Launch the game and see if it works.
If you need more help, read "GDBEdit.chm" located in "\FEAR Public Tools v2\Dev\Tools\Help\".

Possible FAQ
Q. How do I edit Slow-Mo?
1. Open FEAR.Gamdb00s with GDBEdit.exe and open [SlowMo\Default]
2. Copy "Default" and clone it into the same folder.
3. rename the clone one and edit it whatever you like.
4. Open [Server\Player\Player] and find SlowMo section, double-click "SlowMo/Default" then select the clone file you just created.
5. save the GDB, archive it and see if it works. (Do NOT forget that changes to Slow-mo will not be applied UNLESS you start from a NEW GAMEļ¼
NOTE: For some reason, editing [SlowMo\Default] itself, has no effect on the game(at least in my end). So we have to create a new SlowMo profile.
Q. Is there any good single-player FPS with Slow-Mo mechanic?
Try GZDOOM mod Project Brutality with Slow-Mo Bulletime Ultimate mod, this mod combo is really awesome. If you want to see what's it like, check this video out.
