CODFish Perks

CODFish Perks by Rey brings a handful of legendary Call of Duty beverages into How To Fish, reimagined as temporary perks carried by drip fish.

Special fish have always been rare, but their purpose usually ends with a skin trade or a sale. CODFish Perks gives every drip fish something else to chase: inspect the fish to discover its perk, then eat it when the moment is right and keep the advantage for a limited time.

Perks

• Stopping Power - Gives your shots a harder punch.
• Juggernaut - Lets you withstand far more incoming damage.
• Speed Cola - Gets you back into action faster after reloading.
• Double Tap - Makes your weapons fire at a faster pace.
• Fizzy Yummy - Gives your movement a noticeable boost.
• Quick Fix - Gradually restores your health and hunger while active.
• Hardline - Improves the score multipliers earned from trickshots.

The perk is assigned to the individual drip fish, so the fish you inspect is the fish you will receive. Perks last for two minutes after eating.

Dynamic system for drip fish

CODFish Perks adds a small decision to every special catch. Do you sell it, trade it, or save it for the next fight?

• Prepare for difficult boss encounters by saving the perk that fits your strategy.
• Make PvP encounters less predictable with temporary advantages that can change the pace of a fight.
• Turn rare catches into meaningful resources instead of another item waiting in storage.
• Inspect before eating so you can make an informed choice instead of gambling with a valuable fish.
• Give trickshots another reason to go for style, especially when Hardline is in play.
• Keep everything in the game with an integrated HUD and no external companion app.

HUD

The in-game HUD shows the active perk and its remaining time. It uses the game's own UI style and can be hidden from the mod settings if you prefer a cleaner screen.

Installation

1. Install BepInEx for How To Fish through r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager.
2. Install CODFish Perks through Thunderstore, or place the mod files in your profile's BepInEx/plugins folder.
3. Start the game and catch a drip fish.

For the best multiplayer experience, everyone in the lobby should have CODFish Perks installed. This keeps perk behavior and the in-game display consistent for the whole group.

Compatibility

CODFish Perks works with the game's existing drip fish and does not require another mod.

Feedback

If a perk behaves differently after a game update, include the game version and BepInEx log when reporting the issue on the fish-modding channel of Dazed Games official Discord

Changelog

1.4.1

• Changed: Restored the host-only shuffled perk bag. Each perk appears once per bag cycle and clients receive the host's result.
• Fixed: Host-authoritative perk synchronization prevents clients from applying a different fish perk.
• Fixed: Eating now broadcasts the server-authoritative perk to every peer; server-controlled buffs such as Juggernaut and client-side buffs now agree.
• Fixed: Announcements use the game's observer chat RPC and are visible to connected clients.
• Fixed: Quick Revive feedback is sent as a reliable server event, so its sound/effect is not lost when the health SyncVar changes too quickly.

1.3.0

• Added: Quick Revive's resurrection vignette and sound effects.
• Fixed: Quick Fix no longer heals or restores hunger while the player is dead.
• Changed: Hardline's trickshot score multiplier increased from 20% to 35%.

• Added: Chat announcements when an active perk effect expires.
• Fixed: Stopping Power now modifies the damage value used by actual weapon shots before Juggernaut reduces incoming damage (PvP).
