(Slightly) Improved Kleiner
Created by ChalkyMalky
A not so significant tweak mod I made after being bothered about his hand's UVs and color inconsistency. Disclaimer: This mod replaces Kleiner's model to fix the UVs so this won't be compatible with any other mod that tweaks his model, also for full disclo...
2004 Toxic Water Impact Effect
Created by spoono
Adds an accurate re-creation of the toxic water impact particle effect from the retail build of Half-Life 2. Valve forgot to add it to the "use classic effects" option that came with the 20th anniversary update....

AR2 Alt-fire Ammo With Particle FX
Created by Theplayerthatexists

Jiggly Physgun Hand Fix
Created by Bunslinger
