The beta major update is now live!

Destructive Update Warning: This update refactors the code and removes all "tactical" weapons. For previous saves, weapons may disappear after the update. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this version update!

Main content:

- Fixed the issue where plugin effects needed to be re-installed to work after a map reset

- Rewrote the code to prepare for GunEnchanced compatibility. All core content is now ported to vanilla weapons, so you no longer need to throw weapons into a fabricator. You can now add and remove plugins directly on vanilla weapons

- Added a new plugin type: Scanner. It has the same effect as the original instrument but only works when you aim the gun. Currently includes medical scanners and thermal imagers

- Added support for Blast, Auto-Shotgun, Nuclear Gun (Accelerator), and Scrap Cannon

- Added original stocks for all stocked weapons, as well as extended magazine and drum magazine versions for all magazines

- Optimized the bullpup modification option: all stocked weapons now generate with their original stock; removing the stock provides a movement speed bonus at the cost of a slight increase in spread

- Laser sights are no longer just red. You can now change the laser color at any time, with the same logic as changing light colors



- Some plugins have been rewritten. Weapons are now preliminarily divided into three types: "Pistol," "Light Weapon," and "Heavy Weapon." Pistols cannot install most plugins other than scopes and flashlights, while light and heavy weapons have different plugin options

The Vanilla Gun Modify Sys (VGM) for Barotrauma aims to replicate the tactical plugin modification system found in mainstream FPS games like PUBG, Call of Duty, Metro, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R., providing a familiar, convenient, and elegant way to fine-tune your ship's weapons: from a submachine gun with a suppressor and laser sight to a revolver "rifle" with an extended barrel, sniper scope, and pistol grip.

This mod adds a workbench, 10 weapons with multiple slots, and 15 different firearm accessories. All plugins work by being directly inserted into the weapon. The plugin effect values are based on the original game's values, with some slight imbalances but are generally suitable for the vanilla game environment.




You need to craft a "Weapon Modification Workbench" at the vanilla workbench, place it in the submarine, and power it on. Use this workbench to craft various plugins.

Currently, there are five slots for modification:


Affects the reticle size and the weapon's maximum visible distance. In addition, laser sights, flashlights, glowsticks, etc., can also be installed on top




Affects screen shake during full auto, damage, and barrel position



A longer barrel can provide a more significant bonus to damage and stability, but an overly long barrel can be a hindrance in close quarters combat




Affects the gun's posture and is the primary mounting point for light sources. Keeping the muzzle pointed forward helps maintain alertness during mobile firefights




Affects the weapon's movement speed and spread. A heavier stock allows the shooter to aim better but also affects mobility




Installed on the side of the gun, with the exact same function as the vanilla scanner, except they must be aimed to work properly

This is not considered a tactical plugin, but who can say no to a drum magazine with 3 times the capacity?


Considering my history of "promising and not delivering," I can't guarantee too many future updates this time.

Best-case scenario: VGM will finish all vanilla weapons and add at least 10 more plugins within this year. In addition, a total of 4 themed expansion packs will be released in 2026—two before the DLC is released and two after. Of course, there will also be minimum subsequent version support.

Worst-case scenario? Maybe I'll release it and then abandon it. How far I can go depends on community feedback and how busy I am this year.

GunEnhanced, Additional patch is required. (Strongly Recommended)

Compatibility Warning
This mod modifies (almost all) of the original weapons and has a complete framework built around them. In theory, it may conflict with any mod that modifies the original weapons.

If you plan to play with other original expansion mods, simply place VGM at the top of these mods, and it will not affect the gaming experience.
If you plan to play with mods that deviate from the original game's numerical parameters, consider downloading a dedicated integration patch. VGM modifies the numerical values of these weapons, and they require a dedicated numerical compatibility patch to work well with them.
