Hello Brothers,

I just checked what the modders are cooking for the Astartes Overhaul mod and I'm very surprised, what they are able to achieve there.

Below you can find the new patch notes for the mod.

I think that they're doing there an amazing job and I can just lust as I'm on console.

Enhanced perks, weapons, difficulty and Librarium descriptions, including accurate in-game values and coloured keywords.

Also I heard, that you only need to complete 1 operation to unlock all 25 perks for any class.

What do you think? Would you like to see similar things in the normal game version?

i will never play anything other than the Astartes Overhaul. I like feeling like an actual Space Marine, not a cardboard cosplay
