📋 About This Mod
One of my biggest pet peeves is the myth that cars explode after being shot, this is not true so i fixed it but wanted to keep the lore of nuclear powered cars.
Brief overview:
1.this makes most of the cars in the game have no explosion effect at all cause seriously its been 200 years there is not much fuel that lasted this long
2.the cars that do have fuel will vary in the amount so explosion plumes will vary in size and if you get any of the nuclear fuel on you you'll take radiation damage for about 20 sec
If you like the Tracers here's my Ballistic mod: Advanced Ballistic Effects Tracers
Quick Vid to show effects but there is way more variations then shown
