✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a real visibility problem on bright maps like desert and lunar.
- Hotkey toggle means you can switch colors on the fly without digging through menus.
- Tiny mod, 6 endorsements, but it does exactly what it says.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 6 endorsements and 135 downloads — niche appeal, might not be widely tested.
- Last updated in 2022 — could be outdated if the game has had major patches since.
- No screenshots or detailed instructions in the description, so you're flying blind on setup.
For players who struggle to see weapon range ticks on bright maps and want a quick visual fix. Skip if you're fine with default ticks or want a more comprehensive UI overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Bind the hotkey to something easy to reach, like a mouse button, so you can toggle colors mid-fight.
- Test the color options on a desert map first to see which one stands out best against the sand.
- If the mod doesn't work after installing, check that you've placed the files in the correct game folder — the description doesn't specify, so look for a 'Mods' or 'Data' folder.
