📋 About This Mod
2. 5 UPDATE: Added a bunch of new sounds for all materials, adjusted fade ins for flesh impact sounds, FIXED some missing files for wood and metal, should sound better than ever
Ballistic mods like Burst Impact Blast now not mandatory but heavily reccomended, hitscan projectiles won't respect fadeouts and proper volume, it still works but it's less immersive, plenty more updates to come soon. Basically anything that turns projectiles into actual travelling bullets rather than instantaneous hitscans improves the mod immensely
Load this mod as low as possible to avoid incompatibilities, it's very non-intrusive and designed to work with hundreds of other mods, it can be put even dead last, I suggest you do it
I still suggest you use this mod in conjunction with mods that alter the vanilla soundscape, my personal recommendations would be:
MWGS for all the guns you can find
JSRS for all the guns that remain
R&A Overhaul with its fixes such as this or this or this (with all its extras)
Simple Impact for extra beefiness
and my other mods, especially physics impact overhaul because it adds nice bullet casing sounds
Physics Impact Overhaul
Melee Impact Overhaul
Then, I highly suggest using mods that add penetration and ballistics (cough cough) , so that the impact sounds play as the bullet physically hits a surface instead of being an instantenous hitscan (further expanded in 1. 3. 1), and of course penetration is good so you have a damn reason to shoot at walls xD (unless you're magdumping)
Essentially: YOU NEED LOUD GUNS in order for this mod to truly shine, the vanilla sounds are a bit too low for the regular version, download the lowered sound version if you're in a vanilla soundscape

ESP marked as ESL, put below any sound overhaul that touches bullets in any way or you will have inconsistent results
