💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an audio mod, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 makes uninstalling a breeze.
- If you're using other sound mods, check load order—this one should typically override base game sounds, so place it after other audio mods.
- Test with a grenade or explosive weapon right after installing to hear the difference immediately.
