📋 About This Mod
All of RDR2's vanilla gun metals look dull so I decided to rework the material properties and tweaked the color tones for all gun metals. Engravings included.
This is a .ymt file so you need the LATEST Lenny's Mod Loader.
INSTALL:-
[]Extract and drop the 'Gun_Metal_Rework' folder into RDR2/lml directory
[]It should be Red Dead Redemption 2\lml\Gun_Metal_Rework\(ymt and xml files)
Future plans include : Reworking grips and wood varnishes + adding more metal options instead of replacements

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 15,858 endorsements and over 600k downloads
- Tackles a common complaint—dull gun metals—with a realistic overhaul
- Simple drop-in install if you already use Lenny's Mod Loader
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Lenny's Mod Loader, so it won't work on a vanilla setup
- Last updated in 2021, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches
- Replaces metals rather than adding new options, so you lose the original look
For RDR2 players who want their firearms to look more realistic and less plasticky, especially those who already use Lenny's Mod Loader. Skip if you prefer the vanilla shiny look or don't want to mess with mod loaders.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest version of Lenny's Mod Loader installed, as the mod specifically requires it.
- Place the 'Gun_Metal_Rework' folder directly into your RDR2/lml directory, not inside any subfolder.
- If you're using other weapon mods, test this one first to see if it conflicts with their textures.
