📋 About This Mod

Hides many parts of the in-game HUD. For I M M E R S I O N.

Choose from a collection of modified UI.pak files with varying degrees of Immersion, by removing parts of the in-game HUD.

Each version can be downloaded separately, or all in one pack - for convenience - in the optional files.

WARNING:

The UI elements removed in this mod - in ALL versions of it - will make the game more difficult if you are a new player. MUCH MORE DIFFICULT.

Although it's no Nightmare mode, there are some similiarities:

  • []No Healthbar

    []No Flashlight Battery

    []No Weapon/Ammo display

Nightmare mode also disables the map, makes the Motion Tracker far less effective, and adds a mountain of gameplay challenges like extremely scarce item pickups and much smarter AI that does more damage to you. What their HUDs lack in common, however, are things one might consider trivial, especially an experienced player. But if you haven't learned the controls to the point that they become a reflex, you may find yourself struggling when the game doesn't tell you which button to press to use your Medikit, or how to back out of that computer terminal. This is even harder for keyboard players, with many more buttons to try.

Combining these changes with Nightmare Mode can offer a daunting challenge for even the most fearless Sevastopolian:

        ----ESSENTIAL-HUD----

Removes everything unrelated to the story, or not considered helpful for progression. This option removes HUD elements that stay on screen the entire time you're playing, and provides a (mostly) cinematic, immersive experience without making the game too difficult.

Recommended for new or casual players who want a little challenge. Removes the following elements:

  • []Healthbar and Flashlight battery meter

    []Name and ammo count of your equipped weapon

    []The useless white dot that appears when you're pointing at NPCs and objects in interaction range

  • []Tape cassette animations that show on the upper right when saving and loading the game, and the spinning wheel animations which also appear on loading screens

  • []"Hold Enter to skip" popup during cutscenes. You can still skip the cutscene, but the message and bar don't show.

I wanted to remove this because it doesn't go away if you accidentally press a button during a cutscene, and it's distracting.

----CLEAN-AND-CLEAR----

         ----SHOKWAVE-APPROVED----

Removes everything that reminds you that you are playing a game. Shokwave's choice. Recommended for experienced players.

Removes all of the above, plus:

  • []Tutorial messages that appear when encountering some things for the first time, and other things all the time. This includes the breathing tutorial when hiding in lockers `(it's the same as your AIM button)`

  • []"Objective Updated" messages. Current objective can still be seen on the map.

  • []"<ITEM> Collected/Upgraded" messages, when picking up new weapons and blueprints. [ I know a flamethrower when I see one! ]

  • []The "button" part of interaction prompts. You can see what you're interacting with, but not which button to press for it. [ It's always E/A/X anyway ]

I always prefer having the option to remove these in games like Fallout and Skyrim, and never really saw the point in telling you what button to press since it's always the same in every single one of these games.

  • []Button prompts on terminals, gadgets, and interactive objects, like security braces and door handles.

    []Button prompts that tell you how to activate, throw and place items like flares and IEDs when equipped.

[ These are the few buttons prompts that aren't E/A/X. They're mostly R/X/☐ ]

        ----BARE-BONES----
