Originally made for SR4, with more help text there.
This simple mod makes all difficulties easier, and is also a mini-tutorial of sorts for tweaking how you want your experience to be.
It is intended for people that play games at their own pace and skill levels, just like the namesake included in every Serious Sam game.
If you don't vibe, just hit that browser Back button lol
Essentially, it massively reduces the amount of damage you take and sets health to always regenerate (at a slow pace - this is done by setting
It also has some small changes such as reducing Brute health at non-Hardcore.
Within, you will find SP and MP Difficulty level sections as below:
Each <Difficulty_Level> signifies a group of difficulty, starting from Casual, Normal, to Hardcore ingame.
The </Difficulty_Level> is the end of that difficulty group.
You can modify by changing the numbers. Be careful to preserve the line breaks & < > tags, otherwise things will be broken.
Once done, save to same folder with SRTTR.exe.
If you play multiplayer, remember to change Co-op Difficulty Levels sections as well (I think both players need same modded files).
Most tags are self-explantory, but detailed descriptions are provided in the SR4 version's post.
I picture most people would want to edit these:
As a maths refresher, 0.01 is a smaller multiplier than 0.1.
Inversely, 0.3 is a bigger multiplier than 0.1.
Hopefully that gives you a start on editing the game's combat difficulty to your liking!
Alternatively, it can be found at
You can also right-click the game in Steam > Manage > Browse Local Files to get there easily, or maybe right clicking the game in Start Menu > Open File location.
If it breaks during a mission, try removing it first. Keep the original .7z for reference on which files to remove.
I think pasting this file onto other SR games might work, but some things might be broken.

Remember, it's okay to have fun your own way.
That's what this series is about - you don't *have* to install mods that make the game harder if you don't vibe with them.

Essentially, it massively reduces the amount of damage you take and sets health to always regenerate (at a slow pace - this is done by setting
Health_Regen_Wait_Mult to -1). This allows for more brash and aggressive gameplay, rather than waiting for that cover system timer to heal it.It also has some small changes such as reducing Brute health at non-Hardcore.
