Enhanced Combat VFX

Disclaimer
By installing this mod, you’re choosing to experience combat in The Zone with an entirely new intensity. This overhaul deviates from the original visual design, and while it elevates immersion, it may also alter the visual feedback of firefights. Proceed knowing you’re embracing a reimagined combat atmosphere curated with passion.

In the Zone, a firefight is a brutal, lightning-fast conversation, and your weapon does all the talking. For too long, the visual language of combat has lacked its necessary punch. Muzzle flashes have felt weak, and impacts have gotten lost in the chaos.

Enhanced Combat VFX is a focused visual overhaul designed to make every single shot feel visceral and impactful. This is not a sweeping gameplay change, but a dedicated graphical enhancement that replaces the standard firearm effects with meticulously crafted, dynamic, and realistic alternatives. The goal is to ground you in the harsh reality of combat, making it a more intense and visually arresting experience.

Core Features:

• Added Muzzle Flash: Every firearm now features a unique, high-fidelity muzzle flash. From the sharp, violent burst of a rifle to the wide plume of a shotgun, effects are designed to look brutal and believable. Muzzle flashes now cast a brief, realistic light on your immediate surroundings. Use the fleeting illumination in dark spaces to your advantage, but be aware—it also gives away your position.
  
• Dynamic Combat Smoke: Smoke is leftover from all weapons, leaving behind clouds of smoke to add weight to sustained fights.
  
• Improved Laser Sight: Thinner and more tactical laser sight that isn't a sore for the eyes.

This mod conflicts with any other mods that alter the core _MuzzleF_ particle, material, or visual effect assets for firearms.

The assets modified by this mod are compiled and repackaged Unreal Engine assets. They cannot be easily merged with other VFX mods that may be released in the future. You will need to choose which one to use.

Best way to support my mods is to provide feedback in the comments. I will always try to be approachable and comment on any feedback/requests.

You can always donate to me via Nexus or Ko-FI[ko-fi.com]. But I rather you keep your money or donate it to a charity of your choosing on my name. All money I make from modding, I will anyways donate to my local Ukrainian Refugees support group[www.wolja-stuttgart.de].
