A huge thanks to Ace for helping me put everything together and doing the M249 PARA SAW mod. Another huge thanks goes to Dekr0 for creating sound mods for these.

This mod includes replacers for the M-105 Stalwart and MG-43 Machine Gun:

M-105 Stalwart

  • []M249 PARA SAW []M249 PARA SAW Suppressed

MG-43 Machine Gun

  • []MK48 MOD 1 []MK48 MOD 1 Suppressed

We gave these working dust covers and charging handles to try to make these as immersive as possible.

I didn't feel like updating the suppressed versions and maintaining 4-5 different files, with the mods breaking every 2 months and all. Sorry.

  • Made M249 texture slightly lighter
  • Made both mods compatible with 3/18 game update
  • Updated texture for MK48 MOD 1s to the new advanced material to eliminate flickering
  • Updated texture for M249 PARA SAWs to the new advanced material to eliminate flickering
  • Reverted materials back to Basic+ shader
  • Fixed compatibility with 5/13 game update
  • Reverted MK48 MOD 1 and M249 to Advanced Material to eliminate flickering
  • For MK48 MOD 1, adjusted box mag position and rail positions, fixed some clipping issues
  • Fixed compatibility with 7/15 game update

If you have more mods installed you need to name them in sequential order in order to have them work at the same time. IE:

9ba626afa44a3aa3.patch_0

9ba626afa44a3aa3.patch_0.gpu_resources

9ba626afa44a3aa3.patch_0.stream

9ba626afa44a3aa3.patch_1

9ba626afa44a3aa3.patch_1.gpu_resources

9ba626afa44a3aa3.patch_1.stream

9ba626afa44a3aa3.patch_2

9ba626afa44a3aa3.patch_2.gpu_resources

9ba626afa44a3aa3.patch_2.stream

So on and so forth.

You only need to do this for archive 9ba626afa44a3aa3
