Combat often becomes boring when players already have powerful weapons and durable armor. Starfield’s combat mechanic allows lower-level enemies to die quickly using normal weapons, which can make the combat a tad too easy and dull.

Fortunately, Xbox players can now continually overhaul and improve their gameplay experience using mods available in Creations Club.

The Immersive Leveled Enemies mod takes Starfield’s combat to a whole new level by making enemies tougher and more balanced, even at higher levels.

Enemies will now have different stats, sizes, heights, and movement speeds, making combat much more interesting. Having to think about combat builds is now more important than just easily blasting everything.

The mod also tweaks alien enemy HP, resistances, and damages. For example, Terrormophs will be tougher on some body parts with armor, such as their appendages, but will receive bigger damage on softer parts, such as heads and chests.

The Immersive Leveled Enemies mod also adds alien herds and families, each with various alien sizes and pack leaders.

Made by verified mod author JaeDL, the mod is only 2 MB in file size, but it requires being at the bottom of the load order.

For players with Star Wars Spacers mods or any other mods that tweak specific NPCs, the Immersive Leveled Enemies had to be loaded before these mods to avoid compatibility issues.

In other Starfield news, fans have discovered that the game’s Steam DB update history has had some notable changes over the past few days, possibly indicating an upcoming update within the next few weeks.

Bethesda has historically had this pattern whenever a big update is coming out, and players are keen to know whether this update will finally bring land vehicles to Starfield.

With the release of Shattered Space getting nearer, players can only wait for what Bethesda has in store.
