Perk Based Artefacts 2.1 (PBA) (UPDATE 4.1) addon

This is the global update of Perk Based Artefacts mod that overhauls almost all perks.
The old 1.0 version is still available as a separate download, but it wont be updated and supported further.

In case of file conflicts, move this mod below all conflicting mods to have it top priority!

The mod comes with FULL and LITE versions. FULL version balances out some usual artefacts stats, primarily bullet/rupture-proof and carry weight artefacts to make new artefacts shine more. This is the intended way to use the mod. LITE version doesn't touch vanilla configs and maximum compatible with other mods like Artefact Renovation, ARX, Outfit Attachment Overhault and any other that touch artefacts

Major key points of what was changed:

• A lot of weak or useless perks were significantly buffed, some of them received new behavior (the "common" part is provided by Artefact Variationizer mod
  
  
  
  
• Complete brand new perk for one certain artefact (the clue is in preview)
• Some artefacts received powerful special abilities at the cost of consuming the artefact, use them wisely
  
  
  
  
• A lot of work was done on visual and sound direction to pronounce the effects a lot more than before, utilising features from 1.5.2 Anomaly and Modded Exes
  
  
• New PBA UI that will display active effects of the artefacts, completely customizable in MCM
  Each effect have multiple properties to display:
  E - efficiency of the effect, depends on the artefact itself, it might be effect stacks, percentage, etc
  T - remaining time of the effect in seconds
  C - remaining cooldown of the effect in seconds
  Some artefacts will show buffs or debuffs in "+" and "-" signs, depending on severity of them
