📋 About This Mod
I had an issue with my PC and lost all my files. I am also in the need for an explanation on distant weapon sounds. As Bethesda decided to do that in layers, as opposed to coding.
GOAL: I aim to make the weapon sound of the wasteland more realistic, and/or better sounding. In starting, I plan to only mod the ballistic weapons to sound better, I may add onto this. I may or may not touch certain sounds that are not weapon sounds (Handling, Explosives, Etc)
Disclaimer: I cannot record in game video. I apologize.
The following video is very outdated.
QaNVNN7CGgY The first sound is the ORIGINAL, the second is the MODDED sound. The sounds in the video will be louder than in the game.
