📋 About This Mod
if you liked being able to see the bullets in Fallout 3 and would like something similar in New Vegas, then this mod is for you.
it doesn't mess with the projectile speed, force or damage. it simply adds a small red or yellow tracer to every vanilla projectile. Including shotguns (Optional).
If you want an ESPless version of this mod that uses scripts to do the same thing and more, you can check it out here.
Tracers on every bullet might not be realistic but I think it looks nice, and its nice being able to see where you are getting shot from.
You need all Fallout NV DLC
Only use the Tale of Two Wastelands version if you have that mod, or your game will crash on start-up.
