Alarmingly Streamlined Spawngroups
Simultaneously simplifies and complexifies enemy spawn groups
Also known as ASS, since it probably is
An enemy spawn group mod, crafted and refined for this one's tastes over the course of a year, with three distinct sets of simple yet alarming groups
Requires Streamlined Heisting - also compatible with Super Serious Shooter
The mod is more difficult than base Streamlined Heisting, but its difficulty is customizable
Custom Heist Support:
In version 6, the mod has received improved compatibility with custom maps.
Not all may work out of the box, especially if a given heist uses a custom faction, so leave a comment if needed.
Custom heists that have been played from start to finish with the mod, in loud, on Death Wish difficulty:

Notes:
- Majority of features only work as host
- Values (eg, frequency of tougher units) scale with chosen difficulty
- Some difficulties and Level Mods have a mixed response of two different police factions
- Minigun Dozers are added to some scripted spawns and will spawn regardless of the Minigun Dozers setting on Death Wish
- Marshal Marksmen are added to some scripted spawns to compensate for their removal from the assaults
- Includes a tweaked version of Give Random Arms to Scripted Spawns
- Certain special enemies are given appropriate weaponry for faction consistency
- Certain unique characters (bosses, friendly NPCs) are also given different weapons
- Mission scripting for several maps has been tweaked - both to improve scripted spawn variety, and to improve game flow
- Some enemy-related modifiers and mutators have been tweaked to better work with the mod
Assault Styles:
Original (default)
|
- Modernized and tweaked restoration of the game's pre-Crimefest 2016 spawn groups.
- New enemy combos; riflemen and shotgunners spawn together; light and heavy units spawn separately.
- Scales up shotgunner and flanker presence with difficulty; light and heavy unit presence is always approximately 1:1.
|
Streamlined++
|
- Spicier version of Streamlined Heisting's default groups.
- New enemy combos; more shotgunners.
- Scales up heavy presence with difficulty, to approximately 1:1 with light units on Death Sentence - this ratio varies with the chosen Skill Level.
|
Default Streamlined
|
- Tweaks Streamlined Heisting's default groups to work with the Level Mod and Skill Level settings.
- Does not add new units to the groups; all other aspects of the mod, such as mission script tweaks, still apply.
|
Chicken Plate
|
- Experimental - enemies spawn solo, but faster than normal.
- Higher heavy unit presence than normal - 5:2 heavy-to-light ratio in the toughest assault waves.

Level Mod Map:
These are used when the Level Mod setting is set to Per-Level.
GenSec-ZEAL and ZEAL Level Mods require an additional matchmaking lock to function online, and thus have no associated levels and will not be picked when Level Mod is set to Random.
For alternate factions like Murkywater, this will use their version of equivalent American units - they may not be visually different without other mods, though.
