📋 About This Mod
I always felt like the sounds were a little whimpy on the RU556. So I made a sound mod for it. From scratch. Just like Grandma.
Gives the gun more punch in a firefight, makes it feel like you're doing the damn thing. (includes a beefed up suppressor sound as well for those dark nights.)
- If you have any issues please let me know and I'll get them taken care of. More importantly though, let me know how awesome they are and what gun you'd like me to work on next...seriously any real world weapon I'm down to work on, up next is the AK400 and SIG MPX (also: if anyone knows how to make full-auto sounds get at me).
NOW SUPPORTING FULL AUTO SOUNDS!
