Blue Overhaul 1.5 - Laser Bolts for Every Weapon

Blue Overhaul is the first of my color overhauls which brings optional laser bolts to ALL kinetic weapons in the game, as well as a bunch of new and improved effects. Some of the highlights of this overhaul include:

• []Laser bolts for all kinetic weapons, as well as improved muzzle flashes with removed

  white smoke and new projectiles for certain weapons[]PLAS weapons now fire a laser bolt instead of a straight plasma line

  []Various visual reworks to existing laser weapons, including removal of heat distortion and smoke

  []The DE Sickle has different muzzle flashes depending on the stage of heat-up. Sparks no longer kick up into your face

  []Improved explosions and laser bolts for the orbital gatling barrage and eagle strafing run.

  []Orbital strike and barrage turbo lasers

  []Fully recolored arc lightning

  []and more!

  I highly recommend using ReShade along side this mod as I normally play and develop my color mods with it turned on. I've provided my small ReShade settings in one of the images to this mod that allow for some minor color enhancements.

  The addition of the laser bolts for kinetic weapons was a massive project and when combined with laser recolors, this mod features over 100 individually edited particle effect files. I want to thank RaidingForPants for the particle editing tools that allow me to make these mods, and I would also like to give a HUGE thank you to mrdeadkingz for programming the editing tools for me to make quicker edits to particle files. Please check out their mods!

  Making these visual mods to the extent that I do takes quite a bit of time and patience. If you like my overhauls and other visual mods and would like to see more, consider supporting me on my Ko-fi. Also, feel free to send me any cool clips you make with this mod on the modding discord! I would love to see them.

  My to-do list:

  • []Bring laser bolts for kinetics and all of the various visual improvements made in this mod to Cyan Overhaul

    []Add a proper showcase video + photos to Blue Overhaul

    []Additional improvements to Blue Overhaul such as new effects for eagles and orbitals

    []Continue work on Red Overhaul and Green Overhaul

  • Various small visual mods
