📋 About This Mod

What you get(hopefully):        Patch 2. 31 compatible

-Less eye fatigue

-More visual clarity during gun fights

Have fun, for longer

2 Variants: Reduced Muzzle Flash by 95% or 60% (60% is main Vortex file due to popularity)

1  Optional add-on: Guess what else was hiding behind those inflated Flashes!? some cheap ass tracers!!

So I made "reduced Bullet Tracers" mod to Reduce Tracers by 99%, I recommend using it because vanilla tracers were so thick & not parallel to the gun's barrel.

Installation:

unzip into the game's root folder, done.            or            use  Vortex

Detailed: download the mod file -> unzip(uncompress) it

-> open the resulted folder and go to /archive/pc/mod  ->

copy the file "reducedMuzzleFlash#.archive"     into:

\Cyberpunk 2077\archive\pc\mod  or  \Steam\steamapps\common\Cyberpunk 2077\archive\pc\mod

Uninstallation:

remove the "reducedMuzzleFlash#.archive" file from

{Cyberpunk 2077 install folder}\archive\pc\mod}

Required mods: None - this is an independent mode

Mod Conflicts:

idk, I got no time for that, but it will be nice of you to share in posts, to warn other users, and possibly get a solution from a kind person, or a double down rant, idk.

Check my other mod reduced Bullet Tracers, they pair together very well

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge download count (219,823) shows it's a go-to fix for flash annoyance.
  • 95% reduction is a massive change—your screen won't turn white with every shot.
  • Better visibility means you can actually see your targets during firefights.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only 133 endorsements compared to downloads—maybe not everyone's thrilled, but still decent.
  • Not all weapons are covered; some may still have noticeable flash.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use Vortex, the mod manager will apply the 60% reduction by default—you can adjust to 95% in the mod's settings if you want the full effect.
  • Test with your favorite weapons to see if any still have noticeable flash; you might need to tweak settings for those.
  • Since it's a visual mod, it won't affect gameplay balance, so you can use it in multiplayer without worrying about unfair advantages.
