✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (224k) proves it's a must-have for Helmet Overlay users.
- Tight integration with the base mod—no bloat, just the animation polish.
- Active maintenance (updated March 2026) means it's likely up-to-date with the game.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works if you already have Helmet Overlay installed—not standalone.
- Small mod with a niche audience—if you don't use Helmet Overlay, this is useless.
For players who already use Helmet Overlay and want that extra layer of immersion from head-bob and camera sway. If you're a fan of first-person realism mods, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you don't have the base mod or prefer static overlays.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Helmet Overlay is installed and working before adding this addon—it won't do anything on its own.
- Check the mod's load order if you're using a mod manager; it should load after the base mod.
- If you notice weird camera behavior, try toggling the inertia settings in the base mod's config.
