📋 About This Mod
After playing game while using power armor, i noticed that walking/running/sprinting sounds doesnt make me feel heavy, this mod fixes that, by adding some weight to vanilla power armor movement.
All update log in readme section
Future updates: More voice/sound variations Added sounds walking on grass/metal surface
Requirements: None
Compatibility: Conflicts with any mod that alters power armor walking, running, sprinting, jumping, UI sounds. Enclave version conflicts with fast enter/exit mods.

Bugs: -When equiped with laser musket weapon, you will hear double sound. Its not my mod issue, you can hear that with vanilla sounds too. I'll fix this when geck arrives. -Missing some sounds walking up/down stairs, not mod problem, mod just makes it notice, game itself doesnt have sounds on certain places. -When "equiped" bare hands sprint movement speed increases also increase step sounds.
