📋 About This Mod

I've attached two videos, one showing the vanilla firing sounds and one showing the modded sounds. I've used Streamlabs to record these videos but am not 100% happy with the audio settings so if you know a good guide, please let me know!

In any case, this mod replaces all the Drumbeat sound files which contain the word "fire" in them, excluding the files which contain the word "reload" or "equip".

IMPORTANT: If you haven't already, place these two lines at the top of your StarfieldCustom.ini (located in Documents\My Games\Starfield):

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

sResourceDataDirsFinal=

I'm currently planning the following replacements as well (no promise on timeframe):

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects the Drumbeat rifle—if you use other weapons, you won't hear the DC17m sounds.
  • No support for other sound effects like reload or equip, so the experience is incomplete if you want a full overhaul.
