📋 About This Mod
Its simply replace the headshot sound with the regular hitting sound when you throw a knife or a axe.
My first mod ever, made this because it was so annoying and breaking my immersion.
Hopefully it was pretty simple to make.
There shouldnt be any conflict with this unless you use a mod that edit base\sound\event\eventsmetadata.json file.
You can still merge your mod JSON with mine, if you search for "headshot" term you will fastly find the related event whit the new ID i have set (which is the ID of the regular thrown hitting)
Made for 2. 12 game version, i guess you shouldnt try to use it with anything older than 2. 0 because the edited file eventsmetadata.json contain all the event triggered sound effect code, so if CDProject have updated this file, then this mod need to be updated too for each specific version of the file.
I recommend disbaling your steam updates by locking appmanifest_1091500 file in read only when modding in order to create backups of your game and mod config for being ready to roll back in case of issues when an update pop up.
This audio mod replaces the cartoonish headshot sound for knives and axes with a more realistic thud. It's a simple, focused tweak for players who want a grittier feel when landing melee headshots. With 67 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but appreciated addition.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and effective: does exactly what it says, no bloat.
- Recent update (March 2024) shows the author is still active.
- Decent community support with 67 endorsements and over 4k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects knives and axes—other melee weapons keep the original sound.
- No preview or sample provided, so you can't hear the new sound before installing.
- Limited to audio changes; if you want more comprehensive combat overhauls, this won't help.
For players who are bothered by the goofy headshot sound on knives and axes and want a more immersive audio cue. If you're a purist who likes to tweak small details, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for broader combat changes or if the default sound doesn't bother you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in the correct game directory (e.g., Data folder) or use a mod manager if supported.
- If you're using other audio mods, check for conflicts—this mod only changes headshot sounds for knives/axes, so it should be compatible with most.
- Test the new sound in a low-stakes situation first to see if you like it before committing.
