📋 About This Mod
Rain of Brass is a small mod that makes shell casings from the player and NPCs last longer, and be visible from far away, so that after a firefight you can find piles of spent brass wherever anyone was shooting.
Main version: Shells stay for 1 hour and are visible from weapons fired within 500 meters.

Thanks to:
Shells Rain for FO3 by Ginnungagap for having the same idea with the GS names available in a mod to look at so I didn't have to reinstall FO3 and the GECK just to get them. Go and give Ginnungagap kudos! :)
Thanks to FO4Snip for initial modding.
New files made with FO4Edit.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 11,517 endorsements and 309k downloads show it's a go-to for immersion.
- Simple and effective: no scripts, just tweaked settings, so it's stable and lightweight.
- Works for both you and NPCs, making firefights feel more visceral.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2024: might not be updated for the latest Fallout 4 patches, though likely still works.
- Purely cosmetic: if you want gameplay changes, this isn't it.
For Fallout 4 players who love immersion and want those satisfying brass showers to linger after gunfights. Perfect for screenshot enthusiasts and roleplayers. Skip if you're after gameplay overhauls—this is purely visual flavor.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with your mod manager (Vortex or MO2) and enable it in your load order; it's a simple ESP, so place it anywhere.
- If you use other immersion mods that affect casings, check for conflicts—this one is made with FO4Edit, so it's clean but may override similar tweaks.
- Test in a firefight to see the difference; if casings disappear too fast for your taste, look for a configurable alternative.
