📋 About This Mod
This mod replaces the VFX on the Scorchbeast's breath weapon projectile to help reduce the outrageous visual noise. It should be still slightly blinding if you let it hit you in the face, but less of a problem with proper strafing.

The optional file uses a smaller projectile if you feel like its still too obstructing (see videos).
Installation is as any other archive mod:
-Place 'GammaBeastProjectile.ba2' in '.../Fallout76/Data'
-Add 'GammaBeastProjectile.ba2' to the 'sResourceArchive2List' line in '.../My Games/Fallout76/Fallout76Custom.ini'
-Optional file uses 'GammaBeastProjectile_Small.ba2' instead
Replaces the Scorchbeast's breath weapon VFX to reduce visual noise while keeping some blinding effect on direct hits. Includes an optional smaller projectile file. Simple archive mod with manual installation, 448 endorsements and 6,883 downloads, last updated December 2018.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 448 endorsements and 6,883 downloads.
- Directly addresses a common complaint about visual clutter in Scorchbeast fights.
- Offers an optional smaller projectile variant for players who want even less obstruction.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2018 — may be incompatible with current Fallout 76 updates.
- Requires manual INI editing, which can be intimidating for less technical players.
- Only affects the breath weapon VFX; no other Scorchbeast effects are changed.
For Fallout 76 players who find Scorchbeast breath attacks visually overwhelming and want a cleaner combat experience. Also for those who prefer a less obstructive projectile without losing the visual feedback. Skip if you're fine with the default effects or want more comprehensive Scorchbeast overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to edit the correct Fallout76Custom.ini file in 'My Games/Fallout76' — not the one in the game directory.
- If you use the optional smaller projectile, use 'GammaBeastProjectile_Small.ba2' in both the Data folder and the INI line.
- After installing, test in a Scorchbeast encounter to see if the reduced VFX suits your preference; you can easily swap between the two files.
