This mod is a true extension of your combat and other capabilities in Barotrauma. Inspired by Guns Enhanced, this mod adds a lot of new, detailed weapons and armor, and implements adaptive mechanics and extensive animations for everything possible. Thanks to this, combat becomes more dynamic and realistic. You will be able to throw melee weapons, hide in lockers for survival, feel pain from gunshot wounds, and use a host of other innovations that allow for flexible adaptation to any combat situation. It is fully compatible with Enhanced Armaments, Guns Enhanced, Deep Sea Warfare, and Neurotrauma.

Note: It is recommended to install this mod together with Neurotrauma and it must be placed higher in the mod load order.

[h1]Key Features:[h1]

  • 🔄 Dynamic Reload Animation: Every weapon has a full reload animation, making the process more realistic. Furthermore, for most weapon types, the animation speed depends on the weapon proficiency skill.
  • ⚙️ Weapon Durability System: Found weapons have varying durability: Separatists' weapons are usually heavily worn, while the Coalition's are in better condition. At low durability, weapons start to jam and misfire. Durability loss accelerates in water (except for underwater weapons), and weapons left in water slowly rust. Weapons can be repaired at a fabricator.
  • 💧 Unique Water Mechanics: Non-underwater weapons lose effectiveness underwater. Choose your gear wisely for underwater missions!
  • 🎯 Aim Carefully: Weapons have no default crosshair; you will need to aim by feel, relying on instinct and experience. A crosshair only appears when a laser sight or optical sight is installed.
  • 🛡️ Armor System Rework: This mod reworks all standard armor and adds new vests and helmets, making them more important in combat. Various types of armor plates have been added, and different weapon calibers have different armor penetration values. Tactics and the right choice of gear are everything!
  • 👤 Helmets with Mechanical Visors: Nearly every helmet is equipped with a mechanical visor that can be raised or lowered depending on the situation, providing a flexible balance between protection and visibility. With the visor raised, you can use additional equipment: gas masks, NVGs, etc.
  • 💥 Ballistic Trauma Effect: Shot targets experience screen shake, blurred vision, and worsened aim, giving the attacker an advantage. Pain effects are active and require analgesia for treatment (only works with the Neurotrauma mod enabled).
  • 🛠️ Weapon Customization System: Customize your weapon with accessories such as sights, suppressors, flashlights, and more.
  • 🔫 The mod adds a fire mode system dependent on the weapon:
  • - Semi-Auto - for precise long-range shots.
  • - Burst Fire - 2-3 shot bursts for recoil control at medium range.
  • - Full Auto - for close quarters and suppressing fire.
  • 💣 Animated grenades with new mechanics and realistic shrapnel.
  • NPCs now use grenades too — take cover and watch your step!
  • - Short Press (E) - Pick up the grenade. It will not explode while you hold it.
  • - Hold (E) - Pull the pin and start the timer before throwing.

[h1]Additional Lua Features:[h1]

  • Multi-function interaction menu for the character on the N key
  • (Not reassignable)
  • Quick weapon draw from belt on Q key
  • (Can be reassigned in the game's control settings menu - the "View Inventory" button)
  • The mod also adds a prone stance mechanic: Hold CTRL and double-tap S to go prone for maximum stability, reduced recoil, and spread. Hold CTRL and press W to stand up. (Not reassignable)
