The good news is that you can speed up the process greatly, by doing this:Дў) In Shocked, select Highlights -> Hide Nonhighlighted: this will make everything that's not highlighted, disappear, don't worry as you haven't really deleted the whole level. Medsci1), 2) find and edit the replicators inside, 3) then do 'save mission' (save as Medsci1). The bad news is that there is no easy menu with all the replicators in game: you have to 1) open a map (i.e. Nice! Let's take a look into the replicators then. I think that would be an interesting way to play the game again. Just to make really harder, but at the same time not limit myself with stuff and cyber modules.

What I want to do is to make a game mode that's about the same as 'normal', but make monsters about 5 times more difficult to kill, and increase their damage about to 1.5x.

My question: anyone here knows how I can mod difficulty settings and monster stats? I also looked through the game files, but again no luck.

#System shock 2 difficulty how to#

I was trying to find any info on how to mod difficulty settings but couldn't find anything. I finished shock a hundred times in all imaginable ways and I want something different The only major difference between the difficulty settings is that there is much less stuff on the levels, and much less cybermodules. But at the same time the enemies are very easy to kill, it's just no fun. But at the same time, I just don't like playing on hard, because there is just no stuff. Shock to me, even on hard is extremely easy.

Don't jump from high platforms, as it will likely cause unnecessary fall damage.I was playing shock the other day and I had a thought about how difficulty settings work in this game.

Possession is especially useful against a Beast as they can take a great deal of damage to kill.

It is highly recommended to buy the Possession upgrade: Possession Aid ($50) as it gives you the ability to cause some enemies to commit suicide.

Try to hit enemy weak spots: Headshots for human enemies and the SirenВ and aim for the heart when against a Handyman.

Return to Sender can be used as a shield for the player and as an ammo magnet.

Finding a good cover is a crucial part when in combat with many enemies, until you're ready to fight or just as a hiding place.

Some items may add health but reduce salts (and vice versa), like cigarettes and alcohol.

Go through anything from trashcans to corpses. With limited resources, it is important to try to scavenge anything you can.

The Gears that provide invulnerability - Nor'easter, Sheltered Life, and Winter Shield - are extremely useful in this mode.

Try to find as manyВ Gears and InfusionsВ as possible.

Make sure you don't open fire on civilians, stealing valuables and trespassing restricted areas may trigger them.

If the player has the Columbia's Finest DLC, they will be given 500 Silver Eagles and the Gear Extra! Extra! in the The Blue Ribbon of Comstock Center Rooftops, which are both very useful during this mode.

Use PossessionВ on Vending Machines, it will drop around 10В Silver Eagles.

SafesВ often contain a larger amount of money so try to gather LockpicksВ to unlock them when found.

Spend your money carefully, this difficulty makes you lose 100 Silver Eagles if you die.

In the finalized version of the game, 1999 Mode is simply an extra-hard mode with no drastic changes to the core gameplay. This was changed when the Gear limit was shrunk down to four and they became randomized on each playthrough. Players would also have to make permanent choices that would have irreversible consequences - for example, Gears, called Nostrums at the time, would not have been removable or replaceable. Players would have to choose a 'class' for Booker, such as Heavy or Long-Ranged, each with its strengths and weaknesses.

Silver Eagles are more scarce and are found in smaller quantities.ДЎ999 Mode was originally meant to emulate the feel of older shooter games.

Beating the game on this difficulty earns the Achievement/ Trophy ' Auld Lang Syne'.

Difficulty cannot be changed during gameplay.

Navigation Arrow is removed completely.

Respawn cost increases to $100, and the player will be sent back to the main menu if they don't have enough money.

Player has reduced and faster-depleting health.

Enemies recover 100% health when you're revived.

Enemies are more accurate (even with their mid-range machine gun).

Reduces the number of player respawn points.
