Description
Enhanced Gear & Authentic Combat
This mod modifies the loadouts.meta and weapons.meta files to equip law enforcement with superior weaponry.
The loadouts.meta is based on BobJaneTMart's "Crime and Police Rebalance & Enhancement".
Now, cops will carry combat pistols, with one officer in each group wielding either an assault shotgun (80% chance) or a carbine rifle (20% chance).
SWAT teams will primarily utilize carbine rifles (40%), bullpup rifles (20%), and advanced rifles (40%), often equipped with suppressors.
The Army will now employ special carbines, bullpup rifles, and assault shotguns.
Furthermore, the mod enhances weapon damage for greater realism (increased damage across most weapons) and extends their range.
The updated weapons.meta file includes infinite RPG and tank range.
(Credits: THE_GTA_KING and FunGt).
A modified dispatch file is also included. At 1-2-3 star wanted levels, only cops spawn. Subsequently, FIB agents arrive, followed by the Army (with FIB and SWAT providing support; a "God mod" is recommended).
Installation Guide
Always back up your files before proceeding!

update\update.rpf\dlc_patch\mpvalentines\common\data\aiand replace "weapongusenberg" with the file from the "mpvalentines" folder. - Finally, in
update\update.rpf\dlc_patch\spupgrade\common\data\ai` , replace "weaponrailgun" with the one from the "spupgrade" folder.
