PMC Terminators - a custom SAIN preset

If default SAIN is too hard for you then turn away. PMCs should always be a threat - fast, aggressive and accurate. This preset aims to provide a more challenging SAIN experience.

What is This?

PMC Terminators is a SAIN preset that does a number of things:

- PMCs are more difficult

- Raiders, Rogues are slightly more difficult (more types to come)

- SCAVs are tuned down slightly (mostly vanilla unless in very close quarters)

- Personality assignments based on PMC level and gear

Specifically, some of the major tweaks include:

PMCs

- CQB distance

- aggression, reaction speed and distance, lose aim speed and more

- recoil and aim kick

- flashlight and NVG usage and visibility

- Personality assignment changes

- higher level PMCs are mostly Gigachad, Chad or Normal

- Gigachad and Chad personalities are only assigned to PMCs with a decent kit (SAIN power level)

- lower level PMCs are a mix of all

- SCAVs are a mix of all personalities except Gigachad, Chad

How to Install

- download & extract to your SPT folder

- load the game, open SAIN GUI (F6 by default)

- select PMC Terminators preset

- gl hf

IMPORTANT: This SAIN preset is currently balanced with ONLY the following difficulties:

- Hard, Impossible PMCs

- Normal SCAVs
- Normal Other types

Settings for other difficulties/bot types are planned. If using SWAG + Donuts, select your bot difficulty from the Donuts F12 menu and/or the SWAG config file

To make sure this is installed correctly, your SAIN/Presets folder should look something like this:

For the best experience using this preset please consider the following
All settings have been tested with the following setup:
Realism Mod
- Realism recoil (with minor tweaks)
- ballistics, gear and attachment overhaul
- Bot HP set to 1.2x
- Player HP increased slightly (~600)
- Headshot Redirect Mod (by Solarint, redirects headshot damage. I have mine set to 45%)

All of this is optional and purely personal preference

PMC Terminators - a custom SAIN preset 1.1.0

Please install the latest version of SAIN (2.1.7+)


Changes
- updated to support SAIN 2.1.7
- EFT Scatter Multiplier decreased for all PMCs 1.0 > 0.7
- All talk patching is now disabled for all bots. In vanilla SPT, by default Hard and Impossible PMC bots have talking disabled. So intended behavior is vanilla bot talking with quiet PMCs (Hard/Impossible)

Friendly reminder to be sure to select the preset from the SAIN GUI (F6) and use Hard or Impossible PMCs.

PMC Terminators - a custom SAIN preset 1.1.1

Changes
Hard PMCs, Normal SCAV adjustments
- hearing ranges reduced slightly for footsteps and gunshots
- minor accuracy adjustments
- Chad and Gigachad personality adjustments for aggression and base search

I've found that bots can be a bit too eager to enter combat when they hear footsteps - after some hearing setting adjustments bot engagements feel more natural, bots spend more time in other brain layers outside of SAIN combat layers since they are not constantly hearing footsteps and gunshot…

Normal SCAVs are a little dumber. PMCs are mostly the same. Install is the same, just extract to your SPT folder and overwrite if necessary. Enjoy.

PMCs are very fast to react, especially in close quarters combat. Stay safe out there.
