Authentic Weapon Mechanics
Fully Customizable Firearm Assembly
A complete gun modification system is available, featuring hundreds of interchangeable parts including stocks, buffer tubes, receivers, optics, handguards, barrels, foregrips, Picatinny rails and more. Mix and match freely to build your exclusive firearm from scratch. Press F2 to open the weapon customization interface, freely adjust the position of every attachment, and customize your firearm to your ideal setup.
Realistic Ammo Loading Logic
Bullets must be manually loaded into magazines, and weapons fire strictly following your loading order. Every ammo type has unique stats for damage, armor penetration, recoil, barrel wear and heat generation. You can mix multiple bullet types in a single magazine: for example, load tracer rounds at the bottom to receive a clear visual reminder when you are nearly out of ammo. Or combine armor-piercing rounds and soft-point rounds to counter all enemy types effectively. Against unarmored targets: Prioritize high-damage soft-point or tumble destructive projectiles. Against heavily armored units: Deploy high-penetration ammunition to punch through enemy protection. For precision shooting: Choose low-recoil subsonic rounds or OTM match rounds. Chamber Mechanics & Tactical Reloading For most firearms, inserting a fully loaded magazine will trigger an automatic chambering animation, leaving one round inside the chamber. The weapon can still fire even after the magazine is removed under this condition. We recommend performing an extra chamber-clearing cycle when storing your weapon to eject any leftover rounds in the chamber. The full reload sequence for most weapons consists of several independently timed actions: eject the old magazine, place it back into inventory, retrieve a new magazine, insert it into the weapon, then chamber a round. You can optimize your operation to cut reload time drastically: Reload before expending the last chambered round to skip the final chambering step. Discard the old magazine directly to save time spent ejecting and storing it in your inventory. The fastest reload method in most scenarios is to reload without emptying the chamber and discard the old magazine entirely, which only counts the time to take out and insert the new magazine. Overheat & Malfunction System Continuous firing causes barrel overheating, and insufficient maintenance will greatly raise the risk of weapon jams or catastrophic barrel rupture. Short barrels feature inferior heat resistance and slower heat dissipation compared to long barrels. When a jam occurs, manual chamber cycling is required to clear the malfunction and resume firing. Submerging your firearm underwater will rapidly cool the barrel. [hr]
Dynamic Weapon Parameters
Five dynamic crosshair systems are implemented in this mod. Your movement, aiming posture and stance will affect bullet spread and crosshair recovery speed in real time, and well-matched attachments can effectively improve your combat performance. Important Note: All modifications come with trade-offs. Blindly stacking heavy attachments will significantly reduce weapon ergonomics and slow down aim raise and target tracking response speed. Always balance firepower and handling carefully.

Realistic Wear System & Ballistic Armor Counterplay
8 additional equipment slots are added for limbs, chest rig, waist and feet, allowing free combination of body armor and carrying gear:
Items stored in the chest rig support quick access. Hold the F key to bring up the quick-use wheel and seize the advantage in combat. Low-tier soft body armor can be equipped in chest rig slots for stacked protection, and certain models allow additional tactical pouch attachments to expand storage capacity. High-grade hard ballistic armor can only be equipped in the diving suit slot. Heavy plate carrier armor requires matching armor plates installed in corresponding positions to activate full protective performance. Helmets cannot protect your character's face. Additional ballistic face shields and goggles must be equipped and activated to provide facial defense. Please note that Barotrauma is a 2D game. Multiple tests prove that limbs take nearly the same hit probability as the torso. Most lightweight body armor only protects the torso, so we highly recommend equipping limb armor to mitigate incoming damage. Entry-level armor is an economical choice for early gameplay. [hr]
Decals & Velcro Patches
Fully customize your weapons and gear! Decorate your firearms with personalized decals, and add exclusive flair to your tactical equipment with velcro patches to craft a completely unique combat loadout.
