✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 697 endorsements and over 44k downloads.
- Simple, focused improvement that enhances situational awareness without overhauling the UI.
- Recently updated (August 2025), so likely compatible with current game version.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects scanner blips—if you're looking for broader UI changes, this won't cover them.
- No screenshots or videos included, so you can't preview the visual effect before installing.
For players who rely on the scanner and want a quick visual cue for distance without checking coordinates. It's a subtle QoL mod that fits into any UI setup. Skip if you want major UI overhauls or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a UI mod, make sure to place the files in the correct mod folder for your game (e.g., Data or Mods).
- If you use a mod manager, enable it and check for conflicts with other UI mods that might alter the scanner.
- Test in-game by moving away from a blip to see the size and opacity change.
