📋 About This Mod
2. 0 out now
Only Vulkan
Dear Outlaws
The vanilla guns looked a bit harsh especially with those horrible 256x256 handle textures and I gun mostly in first person so I notice it too much! Textures and stylings have been upscaled using various algorithms.
Some of the surfaces have suffered some detail loss so it's a matter of taste if you prefer these ones over the vanilla. I am working on a fix but it remains to be seen.
DLC guns, melee weapons and throwables are planned next.
2. 0 is out! Weapons have been upscaled with better algorithms in order to preserve the original details and some I had to manually edit (special thanks to WhyEm). DLC weapons, melee, throwables, miscellaneous (ex: Fishing Rod) and a variety of stylings have also been upscaled. Use Gun Metal Rework to get the same quality as the pictures.
Let me know your impressions and requests in the comments.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Makes weapons look noticeably sharper without changing gameplay.
- Huge download count (316k) shows it's trusted by the community.
- Simple install—just drop in and see the difference.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects weapons, so other textures stay vanilla.
- May increase VRAM usage on lower-end systems.
- No recent updates since 2021, so potential compatibility issues with newer game versions.
This is for players who want crisper weapon visuals without overhauling the whole game. If you're into screenshots or just like admiring your gear, this is a quick win. It's not for those seeking gameplay changes or full texture packs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check your VRAM usage after installing—if you see stutters, consider lowering other graphics settings.
- Pair with a general texture mod for consistent quality across all objects.
- Since it's from 2021, test it with your current game version to ensure no conflicts.
