If default SAIN is too hard for you then turn away. PMCs should always be a threat - fast, aggressive and accurate. This preset aims to provide a more challenging SAIN experience.
SAIN IS REQUIRED
You WILL die.
Please be sure you have the latest SAIN installed before using this preset!
Friendly reminder - you must use Hard or Impossible PMCs for this preset to work!
What is This?
PMC Terminators is a SAIN preset that does a number of things:
- PMCs are more difficult
- Raiders, Rogues are slightly more difficult (more types to come)
- SCAVs are tuned down slightly (mostly vanilla unless in very close quarters)
- Personality assignments based on PMC level and gear
Specifically, some of the major tweaks include:
PMCs
- CQB distance
- aggression, reaction speed and distance, lose aim speed and more
- recoil and aim kick
- flashlight and NVG usage and visibility
- Personality assignment changes
- higher level PMCs are mostly Gigachad, Chad or Normal
- Gigachad and Chad personalities are only assigned to PMCs with a decent kit (SAIN power level)
- lower level PMCs are a mix of all
- SCAVs are a mix of all personalities except Gigachad, Chad

Welcome to SPT 3.8.0 - get ready to die bozo

Changes
Hard PMCs, Normal SCAV adjustments
- hearing ranges reduced slightly for footsteps and gunshots
- minor accuracy adjustments
- Chad and Gigachad personality adjustments for aggression and base search
I’ve found that bots can be a bit too eager to enter combat when they hear footsteps - after some hearing setting adjustments bot engagements feel more natural, bots spend more time in other brain layers outside of SAIN combat layers since they are not constantly hearing footsteps and gunshot audio from far away.
Normal SCAVs are a little dumber. PMCs are mostly the same. Install is the same, just extract to your SPT folder and overwrite if necessary. Enjoy.

Please install the latest version of SAIN (2.1.7+)
Changes
- updated to support SAIN 2.1.7
- EFT Scatter Multiplier decreased for all PMCs 1.0 > 0.7
- All talk patching is now disabled for all bots. In vanilla SPT, by default Hard and Impossible PMC bots have talking disabled. So intended behavior is vanilla bot talking with quiet PMCs (Hard/Impossible)
Friendly reminder to be sure to select the preset from the SAIN GUI (F6) and use Hard or Impossible PMCs.

this config will be updated to the new SAIN version ?
Will this work with 3.9.8?
will this ever be updated?
Im using this with the new sain 2.2.5.4 release, swag pmcs set to hard, and the pmc’s are justcshooting lazerbeams. Its like goon ai but for every pmc. Im not using realism at all, does that mean bots would have less recoil when firing? I love a challenge but damn they are cutting me in half with iron sighted weapons from 100 meters lol
Will there quite possibly be an update within the near future? I really like this preset and now with 3.8.3, I’m worried it isn’t working properly.
If it works as usual with SAIN, is there a way to get rid of that error message with it saying it’s for an older version? Thank you for what you do nooky.
Can’t play without it, a must have!
I really enjoy the preset but I am quite confused what your notice about the bot difficulties mean. You recommend leaving bosses for example on “normal” in the donuts settings but what problems could I get if I change them to “High” for example? Would they be too good or what could happen?
I got a warning that the SAIN version is 2.1.12 and the preset file is 2.1.11. I may expierience issues. Is that legit or does it run fine?
Got this to reduce my survival rate to something more “normal.” Very effective, if frustrating. I certainly die way more now, lol.
Please update for 3.8.0.
