Great mod but revolvers sucks :(. Give them power or better accuracy ...even if it would cost ammo revolver should have some power. Also melee attack is somehow slow - it take too much time from pushing the button to the actual attack.

The revolvers aren’t supposed to be powerful. They’re your starter weapon and they have infinite ammo. I don’t want them to be anymore powerful than they are.

Hi, the mod is fantastic. You made a very good job on all features.

I just want to inform you that there is a blocker in E2M2 (Lumber Mill) on Extra Crispy difficulty, the enemy that should drop the Moon key is replaced by another that is transformed into beast upon death and he won't drop the key needed to progress.
