📋 About This Mod
Edits the mesh of the Thread Protector for the Diligence family of Rifles to resemble a low-profile radial ported muzzle brake.
MOD UPDATED AND WORKING FOR 28/04/2026 "EXO EXPERTS" PATCH.
I really did not like how the Diligence Counter Sniper looked when picking the "No attachment" option in the Muzzle category, however, due to how the Weapon Customisation system has changed the handling of the DCS, it is pretty much mandatory to pick it in order to be able to actually hit anything that is moving, so I decided to modify the mesh of the Thread Protector that appears on the end of the barrel when "No attachment" is chosen into a basic looking radial ported brake. Now the end of the DCS doesn't look soo naked.
Also affects the "No attachment" option for the Tenderizer, Adjudicator, Knight SMG, Diligence, Counter Sniper, MG43, AR/GL One-Two, and Coyote, as these all use the same 8mm Thread Protector asset.
Recommend using the HDII Mod Manager to Install.
