📋 About This Mod

So have you ever wanted to play as the real Big Boss with both eyes in the beautiful fox engine? Well thanks to hex edits and PoisonedMods doing a texture edit to rid Big Boss' face texture of the eyepatch shadow, you can finally play as two eyed Big Boss.

Edit: So got told the hopspital face texture was used and after realising it was and the skin being paler, I fixed it with HeartlessSeph's edited BB texture. I won't be getting rid of the paler face texture though. It is kept in the new rar as an optional file if you want a BB head with a more paler skin and since it effect both the GZ flashback BB and Leather jacket BB it may show up on those too. Anyway it is there if you want an optional choice. So happy Big Bossing now. :)

Like my Venom's head over Avatar mod, this edits the eyepatch of BB's face and also makes his eye invisible to work in with the hex edited avatar head to leave only the eyeballs left. It also replaces the horn like the Venom head did as the hair on the head model has a weird bug where it's alphas get messed up. Anyway instructions are simple, unpack your chunk0 and your texture0 . dat files with MGSV QAR tool, drag and drop the two folder from this mod and overwrite everything. Also I'd recommend you all use this in conjunction with the "The Man who sold the world" mod to get the full Big Boss experience.

Credits: PoisonedMods for the texture edit of BB's paler face. HeartlessSeph for the edited proper BB's face texture.
