📋 About This Mod

Intense Realistic Gun Sounds Overhaul

Derived from my previous mod, this overhaul replaces ALL gun sounds. So far replacement consists of all bullet-based weapons, and energy weapons. All that is left now is for pipe weapons to be finished!

These gun sounds are heavily inspired by this set of mods for a different game. I felt no other mod came close to what this intense realism brought to the game it had the mods for (Insurgency) so I felt I should bring that same feeling of realism and firefights into Fallout 4.
