\1/ ~==========================~ | IMPACT - Description | ~==========================~ IMPACT is a mod that aims to bring a feeling of power and danger to ballistic weaponry by adding new vfx and decals. This all began many years ago when I first played the title F. E. A. R. , for in that gamethe ballistic weapons felt very powerful and seemed dangerous as each impact caused very visible damage! Even to this very day I still feel 'new games' often lack in that department where FEAR had succeeded. When playing FO3/FNV the look, sound, and impacts of ballistics make them all feel like shabby pea-shooters. Well I say no more!!! This mod is my humble attempt to get Fallout one meager step closer to ''awesome shooter stuff''.
What it does :New custom particle effects for most surfaces (wood, metal hollow, metal solid, stone/concrete, dirt, glass, and cloth). Also adds brand new decals for bullet holes. Bul
