📋 About This Mod
Top Notch Swords Fix
These swords were used in cutscenes prior to the 4. 01 game update. In the 4. 01 update, CDPR added them to the actual game using their original cutscene models and textures. However, they were low quality and missing key functions like runes, oil applications, and visual effects (FX). This mod fixes those issues by providing higher-quality textures and models, while fully enabling all missing functions.
