I don't suppose someone can copy and paste the text from the now obsolete Angel of Death ability?
Hopefully thanks in advance :D
Not sure if it was ever finalized, since they axed the ability rather quickly for being too niché.

Basically, AoD gave you a 25% reduction to the self-inflicted leg damage when performing a DFA attack, and came with a slew of related bugs like keeping the pilot standing despite having a leg blown off.
Its still in the game files, it's just not activated - but I tried it out and it does work. I'm not sure about the associated bugs that vonHardenberg mentioned, but the it is still there.

All you have to do is add it to the simGameConstants.json file - I added it as a level 9 Pilot trait.

The file is called: TraitDefDFASelfDmgReduction.json
Its in the directory: C:\GOG Games\BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets\data\abilities\traits\

I did add a line of text, and alter a few so that you will be able to see the ability show up in your list of pilot traits. I can give more specific instructions if you aren't familiar with modding those files, otherwise, enjoy!
Thanks for the replies.

@Big_mike Yeh I found that file, but sadly it doesn't have the part I wanted.

In this site (http://btmodding.warriorsblood.com/index.php?title=Pilot_Abilities) it says that:
AbilityDefP8 ANGEL OF DEATH AbilityDefP8 PASSIVE: Jump distance increased by 25%. Attacking with Death From Above deals 50% less damage to this 'Mech and doesn't cause UNSTEADY.

I am interested in the Jump Distance Increase (and maybe the unsteady bit).
I could'nt find any ability that increases jump distance. I have already tinkered with abilities and got them working in game.
I also wanted to add the AbilityDefCMD_FireBase abiltity, just because, but it never worked :(
