Version 2. 1. 1 Final
If you're looking for new and more sounds check out my new mod Fallout 4 Resound Project - Guns.
Description
Dynamic. Mechanical. Powerful. Just a few words to describe this mod. FO4R brings a much needed audio overhaul to the vanilla weapons in Fallout 4. Nearly all weapons have had their firing, reloading, and equipping sounds replaced. This includes both player sounds and NPC sounds. FO4R is a custom built audio overhaul designed from some of the best libraries available along with some of my own recordings. There are no sounds ripped from other games or other mods. You won't find any of these sounds anywhere else. I am constantly working on creating new sounds as well as remastering old ones. So check back often. I try to update FO4R about once a month. For a complete list of sounds included in this mod check down below.
