- The Black Market now has 20x the items in it.
- Lots of Hireling changes, making them more competent and overall more fun to use, with a name list by NeoX.
- You can now have a lot more folks hired at once.
- You can now bring up to 7, 15 or 23 Hirelings into missions with you!
- More folks will show up with each Recruitment Call from Bossman!
- Hirelings can now reach Level 120, up from Level 30.

- NPC characters now support the DynamicSwap behaviour. Added to Hirelings by default! Try giving them both a melee and a ranged weapon and watch them be smart about when to use each one.
- Lifted the restriction on how many units can be spawned in each Playground Mode squad.
- You can now change your name after the first Imprint in Arena Mode.
- Madness Difficulty is now unlocked right from the get-go.
- Skinner now actually knows how to do skins!
- Bert can now sell you colour swatches.
- You now start with more magazines in your firearms on lower difficulties in Story Mode.
- A bunch of other miscellaneous changes.

Note that for any of these to work, you will need a custom Assembly-CSharp.dll. You can find the Google Drive link here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HjDnvcGy1GV2NRkO2OP-Oz_RaoubJWFP/view?usp=sharing
To install this, simply download the file, paste it into this folder:
steamapps/common/Madness Project Nexus 2/Madness Project Nexus_Data/Managed/
And overwrite it from there. As of currently, this mod is only compatible with Beta version 2.14.g.

Note that once you've done this, you'll need to keep this mod enabled or else certain functions might end up bricked.

Enjoy!

Special thanks to:
-Existingperson26, for overall being around to help and for small bits of feedback.
-NeoX, for the names list as well as for locating several functions for me and being a lot more knowledgeable on programming.
-Dr.Kyuu, for playtesting the mod.
-Pykar, for playtesting the mod.
-DarkSignal, for several clarifications on how the code functions.

Note: No, this mod is not compatible with Lua for M:PN. I may make a compatible version later. Possibly. But for now, it is unfortunately one or the other. That's the nature of mods that make modifications to the Assembly-CSharp.dll file.

If you have any questions or issues, please open a Discussion rather than asking directly in the comments. It makes it a lot easier to answer questions smoothly and overall makes the general comment section a lot cleaner. Thank you. As a note, I will generally not be responding to questions and such in the comments.

This mod has functionality for optional addons! Here's a list of those that I know of so far:
https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3351644018 - Adds MAG Agents to the Hireling roster for those of you who are feeling megalomaniacal and want to annihilate your enemies with sheer size.
https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3456185955 - Does your game not have enough memes? Would you like your Hirelings to have a soundboard they abuse 24/7? Do you feel like everything is too... sensible, and quiet? Well, alongside a new origin, this mod adds a new Hireling type to the roster - the Micspammer. Have fun with that one.
https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3527718068 - Zeds a problem? Here's your solution: calling in the experts. This mod, by AkaPreston, adds the protagonists of L4D and L4D2 as Hero Hirelings to bring into the fray.
https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3531457976 - So, I'm sure some of you would agree that there are some fights in Arena Mode that're... ultimately kind of pointless lore-wise. Slaughter Time and Murder Room come to mind. So, why don't we call in the ragtag gaggle of mercenaries that happen to be specialised in fighting pointless wars? This mod, also by AkaPreston, adds the lovable cast of Team Fortress 2 into the game as Hero Hirelings.
