📋 About This Mod

1. 2. 0 Update! New shapes and colors, more accuracy and less bleed-over! Now with all-in-one FOMOD installer!

You can now choose from four shapes and two colors (Green or Red):

  • []Circle (default)

    []Chevron

    []Cross

    All reticles have been moved out even further in front of the gun, to increase accuracy and get closer to the "infinity focus" effect that reflex sights have IRL.

    The Falloff Angle (see technical details section) has been adjusted to reduce the bleed-over where the reticle appears outside the sight housing. There will still be some bleed-over, but there shouuld be less now.

    Description

    Reflex sights are great, especially in VR where scopes don't (currently) work and iron sights get too blurry to be functional at any sort of distance.  Sadly, the projected reticles are obviously not designed for VR, as they become so small and thin as to become almost impossible to see when a gun is held out in a realistic pose.

    This mod is just a few tiny changes that fixes this issue for most (though not all) reflex sights in the game.

    The following guns now have much more visible Reflex Sight reticles:

    • []10mm Pistol (Circle Sight only)

      []. 44 Revolver

      []Combat Rifle (Circle Sight only)

      []Combat Shotgun    (Circle Sight only)

      []Gauss Rifle    (Reticle changed from dot to circle)

      []Hunting Rifle           (Circle Sight only)

      []Gatling Laser           (Reticle changed from dot to circle)

      []Institute Weapons  (Reticle changed from dot to circle)

      []Laser Musket

      []Laser Weapons

      []Assault Rifle             (Circle Sight only)

      []Plasma Weapons

      []Double Barrel Shotgun  (Circle Sight only)

      []Submachinegun      (Reticle changed from dot to circle)

      The Pipe Weapons and Railway Rifle have reflex sights but don't have reticles, so they don't actually function as actual reflex sights in VR.  I don't have the kind of editing skills necessary to fix this problem, but fortunately other people do!
