Better New Game Loadouts for TRX-Fresh Start 1.4 + AO 3.1 | CoC 1.4.22 addon

Requires:

• TRX Fresh Start
• Arsenal Overhaul (Might work without, check it yourself)

I love my game hardcore with realistic damage, and I love playing Azazel mode. But even discarding that in mind, one thing that bothers me is why do I have to start my new character with crap equipment as a member of Duty/Freedom/Monolith? I get that the starting outfits are for balancing purposes but really the first thing I do is kill myself so I can spawn as someone with better gear.

I decided to do this because there's something messed up with burning yourself to death at the campfire right in front of your teammate so you can take over their body. Can you imagine being that teammate? looking at your mate unalive himself slowly by immolation, his eyes only blankly staring at you, with no explanation whatsoever? Now you're wondering if a controller took over your mate or something because thinking that the Zone just do things to a man is worse. What compelled him to do such a thing? You do not know...

Starting as one of the factions will immediately give you the appropriate outfit (Not the CoC novice ones!) and some misc items like extra bandages, and food that are appropriate for someone in that faction, while still having the choice to add more items to your character or an appropriate primary weapon. You always spawn with a sidearm (PM, Fort, etc.) and you can use your points to spawn with medkits, detector, or a rifle/shotgun that's appropriate with your faction - or use all your points to start your game with the Gauss rifle as Monolith! (The ammo is already being sold at the start anyway!). You can also spawn with the standard gasmask, and more gasmasks and even scopes and silencers depending on your faction. You also start with more money depending on your faction.

While this mod will make spawning as a different faction easy at the beginning of the game - unless you're using some kind of dynamic relations mod, keep in mind that you get to have access to most of the game/areas as Loners while playing as Monolith as a whole keeps you at a small part of the map (Unless of course, you're really good) so in a way this sort of balances the game out.
