💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a replacer, it will overwrite the original gauss rifle model — make sure you back up your original files if you want to revert
  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file conflicts to avoid issues with other weapon mods
  • Check if you have any other mods that alter the gauss rifle — they might conflict, so load order matters
