Modder ‘Tuanchik’ has released a new mod for Alien Isolation that adds to it an Ultra Nightmare Difficulty Setting. This mod is for everyone who has already completed the game and wants an extra challenge in their second or third playthrough.
Going into more details, this mod brings “real-life” senses to almost all enemies. All of the humans, androids, and the Alien now have a hearing range of 200 (instead of vanilla’s 50). They also have an enhanced vision (from 20, 50 to 80). Not only that but there are now 2-5 Aliens (instead of only one), and they can walk in rare places.
This mod also brings some changes to the damage system. For instance, hitting a human from behind with a big ass hammer will now kill them instantly. The damage and accuracy of weapons have also been increased significantly. Not only that but the modder has also changed the damage type from “Impact” to “Collision”. As he explained:
“The difference is that Impact guarantees the damage as long as it hits the hitbox, but Collision actually needs to “collide” with the hitbox. For example, the acid damage actually damages you from the particle damage, instead of the vanilla “Impact” damage.”
And that’s not all. The Alien now has a chance of 80% of not searching the hiding locations (lockers and etc.). After all, the Alien has a thermo vision which means that it sees the heat. Oh, and the Hack Tool now has a 5-digit code instead of 3, and you have 5 seconds to crack the code.
Overall, this mod sounds kind of cool. So, if you want an extra challenge in your next playthrough, you can go ahead and download the mod from this link.
Speaking of Alien Isolation, we also suggest taking a look at these other mods for it. Do note, though, that some of them won’t be compatible with it. For instance, this mod improves the AI of the Xenomorph. Then we have this mod that adds Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA). You can also find a VR Mod to download.
Furthermore, you can completely remove The Alien in order to fully explore The Sevastopol. Or you can download this mod that adds multiple xenomorphs to the game.
Have fun!
