📋 About This Mod
Patch 2. 31 compatible
I reduced the existence of those damn cheap ass tracers to near nothing.
Vanilla tracers are often too thick & not parallel to gun's barrel, and don't match the actual projectile path, nasty immersion breakers.
Benefits:
- Better visual clarity.
- Better sense of bullet's ACTUAL trajectory and point of impact.
- A bit improved realism & immersion.
3 Variants, use only ONE of them:
1 reducedBulletTracers | Affects all weapon types (set as main Vortex file due to popularity)
2 reducedBulletTracers-noSmart | Affects Power and Tech weapons. Does Not Affect Smart weapons.
3 reducedBulletTracers-TechOnly | Affects Only Tech weapons
Installation:
Detailed: download the mod file -> unzip(uncompress) it
-> open the resulted folder and go to /archive/pc/mod ->
copy the file "reducedBulletTracers#.archive" into:
\Cyberpunk 2077\archive\pc\mod or \Steam\steamapps\common\Cyberpunk 2077\archive\pc\mod
Uninstallation:

Check my other mod Reduced Muzzle Flash, they pair together very well.
