Suppression
Bullets that whip past your head now mess with your senses. When enemy fire passes close to you, your screen darkens with a vignette and your audio gets muffled and quieter, just like being under real fire. Get hit and the effect slams to full.
Features
- Near-miss detection: Tracks the flight path of incoming bullets and checks how close each one passes to your head. Bullets fired at you from up to 70 metres away are picked up.
- Distance-based intensity: The closer the shot passes, the stronger the effect. Anything within about 4 metres of your head triggers suppression, and very close calls hit hardest.
- Visual effect: A dark vignette closes in around your vision, plus a light overall darkening.
- Audio effect: A low-pass filter muffles the sound and the master volume drops while you're suppressed.
- Toggles: Toggle if you want this or that.
- Damage response: Taking damage pushes suppression to maximum.
- Smooth fade: The effect holds briefly, then fades out over a few seconds so it feels natural instead of flickering on and off.
- Ignores your own shots: Bullets from you and the guns in your hands never suppress you.
Requirements
- BONELAB (PCVR used for making, unknown effect on standalone)
- MelonLoader
- BoneLib
These are installed automatically if you use a mod manager such as r2modman or Mod Manager.
Installation
With a mod manager (recommended): Install the package and launch the game.
Manually: Make sure MelonLoader and BoneLib are installed, then drop Suppression.dll into your BONELAB Mods folder.
Known issues
- None for now.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
