📋 About This Mod
Description
Changes the foley sounds when picking up and equipping rifles and pistols from a favorites menu to something more tacticool. You'll notice that vanilla sounds are very minimal, this changes that. Highly recommended for modern weapon mods, might be a little odd for some vanilla ones but they seem fine in my opinion.
Highly recommend to use in tandem with the JSRS Soundpack

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 905 endorsements and over 131k downloads.
- Simple audio overhaul that makes weapon handling feel more impactful.
- Last updated in 2022, so it's relatively recent for a sound mod.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects equip and pickup sounds—no changes to firing or reload sounds.
- May not be compatible with other sound mods that alter the same audio files.
For players who want a grittier, more tactical feel when equipping or picking up weapons. If you're tired of the default soft sounds and want more punch, this is a quick fix. Skip if you're looking for a full audio overhaul—this only touches two specific sounds.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a sound mod, make sure to back up your original sound files if you manually replace them, so you can revert if needed.
- If you use a mod manager, install this mod through it to avoid conflicts and enable easy uninstallation.
- Test the sounds in-game by equipping and picking up weapons to ensure they fit your preference.
