📋 About This Mod
This one turned out well too, imo. Baked normal maps from a high poly model, be sure to check it out ingame - screens can't do dynamic lighting justice!

- Community favorite with over 1,000 endorsements – clearly a well-liked retexture.
- Simple cosmetic upgrade – no gameplay changes, just a fresh look for the Riot Shotgun.
- High download count (22,981) shows it's been widely used by players.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2011 – might not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC.
- No screenshots or detailed description provided – you're going in blind on the visual style.
- Only affects the Riot Shotgun – if you're not a fan of that weapon, this mod is useless to you.

- Check if the mod is compatible with any other texture mods you have – conflicts can cause visual glitches.
