📋 About This Mod
~ Compatible with Intense Realistic Gun Sounds Overhaul mod, load IRGSO.ba2 after the Appalachia Warfare if you're going to use both.~
DESCRIPTION
This Mod replaces most Vanilla game sounds for ballistic weapons, explosions and also some distant weapon sounds. Not only that, this mod adds sonic cracks to bullets whizzing past ya skull! Also, explosions are now crisper and more realistic with added ear-ringing for those danger close nuclear detonations!
This Mod Aims to improve realism and immersion by offering high quality weapon sounds carefully chosen to ensure that the sound perfectly fits the look and operation of the weapon. The combat rifle will now have a satisfying metallic clunk to it giving it a much more satisfying kinaesthetic profile (i.e. Blasting raiders will feel much better.)
The sole purpose of this mod is to remove any sounds that were not up to par, such as the weak sound of the combat rifle and unrealistic James Bond-esque sound of 'The Deliverer' which, let's be honest, sounds like a rip straight from Goldeneye on the NES. That was probably Intentional...

INSTALLATION
Just drop .ba2 files you want to use into your data folder, and add AppalachiaWarfare - Weapons.ba2, AppalachiaWarfare - Bullets.ba2, AppalachiaWarfare - Explosions.ba2 into SResourceArchive2List in Fallout76Custom.ini. You can use each module separately. For example, if you only want to use explosions, and bullets, you can use those two modules only.
