✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 252 endorsements and over 112k downloads — clearly a mod people trust.
- Espless and minimalist means it's lightweight and won't bog down your game with scripts.
- Vanilla-friendly — keeps the feel of the base game while making your shots land where you aim.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in September 2023 — might not be compatible with the latest game patches, so check before installing.
- Only affects player accuracy, not NPCs — if you wanted a more realistic combat overhaul, this isn't it.
For players who want more accurate shooting without overhauling the whole combat system. If you're tired of bullets spraying everywhere and want a vanilla-friendly fix, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for a full weapon realism mod or script-heavy features.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's espless, just drop the files into your Data folder or use your mod manager — no extra setup needed.
- Test it in the shooting range or against enemies to see how the new spread feels; you might need to adjust your aim habits.
- If you're using other combat mods, check load order to ensure this one doesn't conflict with accuracy changes.
