- Demolitions increases blast radius & at master level gas grenades can K.O unaugmented pawns with the initial concussion-inducing blast.

Augs:

- Combat strength increases melee attack speed in addition to damage to balance out against Microfibral Muscle, and because fun.
- Speed Enhancement produces noise when crouched, therefore making silent running worth a damn.
- Restored Aggressive Defensive System's ability to detonate proximity mines for balancing reasons.
- Increased microfibral muscle throw velocity a touch.

Weaponry:

- Implemented Rate of Fire mods.
- Weapon mods are now stackable in the inventory.
- Improved ballistic impact effects further.

- Pepper gun & fire extinguishers are significantly more reliable.

- Renamed the assault gun to the name it is given in the blueprints found in-game.

AI:

- Increased running anim speed by 5% and melee attack speed by 10% to make them look a touch more convincing.
- AI notice when cameras are beeping at you and hunt in the direction they are looking in. (hardcore mode only).
- Increased running animation rate by 5% to make them look more convincing. Melee attack by 10% (this one also makes them more threatening).
- Nerfed vanilla mib & Wib
- Many changes to barks and pain/death/K.O sounds for realism.

Effects & Audio:

- Significant improvements to gore.

Bugs:

- Made non-swinging cameras reset view rotation after tagging player (vanila fix)
- Fixed bug that makes carcasses already in a map with a weapon in it's inventory just crap out as it has not got spawned ammotype (vanila fix).
- there was a small variation in the time you could pick up a body you just killed/K.O'ed. This is now removed. (vanilla fix).

Note to players of GMDX v6.1 ONLY: this should be fine to install on top of a current playthrough and continue.

This is likely to conclude development of the mod. I may pick it back up again one day.
