📋 About This Mod

Brings various visual improvements and changes effects of kinetic, laser/plasma weapons, stratagems, and equipment to purple.

Purple Overhaul is another installment 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. 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.
