[]Add smokes on fire to 4 Old Earth guns. I like the smokes in COD 16, so I add them to Starfield
[
]Change 4 old earth guns' agx files to the bridger's agx. I don't wanna do this, but vanilla agx files don't have weapon fire sequence, I can't add firefx. I test a lot and no bugs
Q: You change agx file, will it cause bugs?
A: As far as I know, nope. But the agx file is related to animation, there is no official animation kit, I can't analyse. If you have any bugs, report to me.(Found one😓)
When you throw a grenade while equipping these weapons, muzzle smoke is incorrectly generated. There's nothing I can do about it at the moment, as there are currently no animation tools available.😓
Q: After I change the barrel, will the smoke spawn in correct place?
Q: Loose file version?
A: No. As far as I know, particle files must be packed in ba2.
If you like the smoke, tell me. I will cover more guns.

[]给旧地球武器加入了仿cod16的枪口烟雾
[
]更改了这些武器的agx文件,换成了桥接器的文件,我不清楚会不会有bug,因为原版的文件没有开火的事件来绑特效,现在也没有动画工具,不过我测试的应该是没有
Q: 你更改了agx文件,会有bug吗
A: 我不确定,但是我测试的没有
Q: 如果我改装了枪的枪管,烟雾的位置是否正确
Q: 有松散文件版本吗
A: 没有,据我所知粒子文件必须打包到ba2里
如果你喜欢这些烟雾,发个评论,我未来会涵盖更多的枪

A compact visual mod that enhances the gun fire smoke effect for the Old Earth weapon in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. With 89 endorsements and over 25,000 downloads, it's a popular choice for players seeking a more immersive combat experience. The 1.1 update suggests ongoing refinement.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 89 endorsements and over 25k downloads — clearly a hit.
- Simple, focused improvement: better smoke makes gunfights feel more visceral.
- Actively updated (July 2025) so it's likely compatible with current game patches.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one weapon's smoke effect — if you don't use Old Earth, this is useless.
- No detailed description of what exactly changed, so you're flying blind on the visual tweaks.
- Small mod with a niche appeal; may not be worth it if you prefer broader visual overhauls.
For Darktide players who main the Old Earth weapon and want a quick visual upgrade without overhauling the whole game. Skip if you're looking for comprehensive visual changes or don't use this weapon.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple file drop, just extract the archive into your Darktide mods folder.
- Check the mod's page for any load order notes — some visual mods need to load after others.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the install to avoid conflicts.
