📋 About This Mod
Description =========== This mod just replaces the V. A. T. S. audio files to the Dio's ZA WARUDO from the anime of Stardust Crusaders. One version will also mute the other V. A. T. S. sounds (like when you select a target or change body part) because I felt like it would be better without a beeping noise.
Install ======= You can use a mod manager to install this, or you can do it manually. I recommend to back up the folder "Fallout New Vegas\Data\Sound\fx\ui\vats" before doing so. If you don't have it, it doesn't matter, the mod will be correctly installed.
For the manual installation just extract the contents to your Data folder and overwrite if prompted to do so.
Uninstall ========= For the manual unistallation remove the "vats" folder that I noted above and replace it with your backup.
Known Issues or Bugs ==================== This mod just changes a pair of sound files, so there are no bugs.
Credits ======= Thanks to Hirohiko Araki for making JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Thanks to David Productions for animating JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders 2nd Season.
This mod replaces the V.A.T.S. sound effects in Fallout: New Vegas with Dio's iconic 'ZA WARUDO' from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It's a simple audio swap for fans of the anime who want a dramatic touch to their slow-motion kills. With 478 endorsements and over 10,000 downloads, it's a niche but popular choice.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 478 endorsements and over 10,000 downloads.
- Adds a fun, memorable anime reference to V.A.T.S. for JoJo fans.
- Lightweight audio mod—no gameplay changes, just pure style.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015—may not be compatible with the latest game patches or mods.
- Only changes V.A.T.S. sounds; no other audio or gameplay tweaks.
- Niche appeal—if you're not a JoJo fan, the novelty wears off fast.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who are also JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fans and want a fun, thematic twist on V.A.T.S. If you're looking for a serious or immersive sound overhaul, this isn't it—it's pure meme fuel.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a sound replacement, make sure to place the files in the correct Data folder or use a mod manager to avoid conflicts.
- Test in V.A.T.S. early to ensure the sound plays correctly—if not, check your load order.
- If you're using other sound mods, this one might override or be overridden, so prioritize it in your mod list.
