Bullet Impact Overhaul (Updated)

Increase the volume of the impact, crackle, and tail of bullets hitting all surfaces and materials: the result is a harsh and dangerous soundscape that will have you ducking for cover in every gunfight

Original address:

Updated on May 4th:

Updated optional VR version, original volume version and 3D Binaural Audio Fix files

Updated on April 29th:

2.5 update: Added a lot of new sound effects for all materials, adjusted the fade-in of flesh impact sounds, fixed missing files for wood and metal, the sound quality should be better than before

2.0 Update: Xorantha provides dozens of new sounds from BF1 and V for all impact sounds, earth and concrete sound effects have been completely redone, removing the "raucous" element that sounds unrealistic, the effect is very good

2.1: Redesigned wood sound effects, extended the fade-out range curve, allowing you to hear the impact from farther away, and added dozens of new cracks, power armor and wood sound effects. Low volume in version 2.2

Near perfection: expanded the range and fadeout of all hits (can hear sounds farther away), rebalanced all sound levels to fit the original soundscape (there will be a louder version in the future), adjusted some annoying sounds, tweaked some laser/plasma guns, fixed issue with heavy firearms not outputting sound correctly.

2.3: Added 20 new sound effects, and added some interesting new content to most materials (this mod now edits some IPCT records), overall added volume and fade distance adjustments, laser volume has been reduced a bit, very happy with it so far, :D

Ballistic mods like Explosive Impact Blast are no longer mandatory but highly recommended, hitting sweep projectiles will not respect fade out and normal volume, it will still work but the immersion will be reduced, there will be more updates in the future. Basically, anything that makes the projectiles turn into actual flying bullets instead of instantaneous hit sweeps will greatly enhance the effectiveness of the mod.

Try to load this mod as low as possible to avoid incompatibilities, it is very non-intrusive and designed to be compatible with hundreds of other mods, it may even be ranked last, I recommend you do this,

I still recommend that you use it with mods that change the original sound effects. My personal recommendation is:

MWGS is recommended for all gun mods you can find.

All remaining guns use JSRS,

There are fixes like this, this or that (plus all the extras) in R&A Overhaul,

Simple Impact will be stronger,

Also my other mods, especially the physical impact mod because it adds a nice shell sound.

Then, I highly recommend using mods that increase penetration and ballistics (ahem) so that the impact sound is like when the bullet actually hits the surface, rather than an instantaneous hit scan (further expanded in version 1.3.1), and of course the penetration is decent so you have a reason to shoot at the wall xD

Essentially: you need loud gun sounds for this mod to really work, the original sounds are a bit too low for the stock version, if you're on the original ESP

In the ESP marked ESL, download the reduced sound effect version. Next, you need to change the settings of any sound coming into contact with the bullet, otherwise the effect will be unstable.
