Hardened is a large overhaul mod for Reforged, offering an alternate vision that stays within the bounds of savegame compatibility.

While Reforged focuses on realism and polished mechanics, Hardened embraces a simpler, more experimental approach. This submod walks back several of Reforged's complex or restrictive design choices, opting for streamlined systems that prioritize fluidity and player freedom. Hardened also takes more risks with creative design choices, innovative quality of life features and fixes for obscure vanilla bugs or cheese strategies, which can occasionally introduce more bugs or incompatibilities than Reforged.

Hardened reflects my personal vision of Battle Brothers overhaul mod: A balanced, varied, and challenging experience, with enough randomness to keep each playthrough fresh and unpredictable.

• Simplified Reach Mechanic and Double Grip effect
• Shields are destructible again
• Streamlined world and contract scaling
• 6 New Perks
• ~100 Perks are tweaked or reworked
• ~55 Weapons and Shields are tweaked
• ~50 Body Armors are reworked
• ~100 Helmets are rebalanced
• ~150 NPCs are tweaked or fully redesigned with all other Hardened changes in mind
• A few hundred other adjustments to enemies, ai, perk trees, skills and general mechanics
• An army of Quality of Life improvements; lots of them are optional
• Dozens of minor Vanilla Fixes, including the removal of many cheese strategies

Forget everything you know about the Reforged Reach Mechanic

• Every Weapon has a Reach value. This is usually 0 for ranged Weapons
• Some skills or perks may increase or reduce the Reach of a character
• Reach is 0 while the character does not emit a zone of control (e.g. stunned, fleeing, wielding ranged weapon)
