📋 About This Mod
Regular Liberator, Lib. Penetration & Lib. Concussion all share same sounds with each other. Choosing one variant will make all 3 have same sounds!
Some of the sounds are shared with SEAF Liberators too. Hence they're now included. Now making city firefights along homies in blue audibly more intense :)
Includes 5 variants for the Liberator trio and 3 for the Carbine.
Liberator trio (all sounds extracted from MW19, heavily edited and reverbified) <-- these variants will affect SEAF troops gunfire SFX:
- SA80 (BF6 Wartape V. A. L + HEAT (1995) inspired)
Liberator Carbine (again, all sfx from MW19):
- SA80 (BF6 Wartape V. A. L + HEAT (1995) inspired) SMG:fied-ish*
MEGA showcase below. See timestamps for specific weapon.

________________________VERSIONS________________________
v3 Everything (November 18)
- Finally updated to work in game version 4. 1. 1 (Into the Unjust)
- All variants now combined into one download with selectable options
- SEAF troops Liberator rifles now included as new addition
- Bonus variant inspired by BF6 BETA Wartape V. A. L and HEAT (1995) shootout scenes. BF6 left a lasting impression audiowise so it had to be made :)
v3. 1 Everything (In the works)
- Supply drop Liberator turret and AR Guard Doggy now included as new toggleable addition (new showcase video in the works)
- General volume tweakings
- Reverb profile adjusted/ remade for SEAF units on all versions, making city skirmishes alongside them more intense.
- FYI inconsistent reverbs still happen - I just can't get rid of them. If some of you use my MG206/ Strata Machine Guns SFX Overhaul, you'll occasionally hear MG206s reverb mixed in with a slight chance. Shouldn't be too annoying that one tho.

- Worked in 01. 003. 202
