Overview

Adds configurable camera shake and VFX when you take damage, inspired by Modern Warfare.

|

Getting hit by an enemy can feel mundane, as it's easy to miss the rapidly flashing red on the screen, especially if you're using the Silent Protagonist mod.

|

Now, when you're attacked, your camera will briefly flash red, shake, and your vision will be slightly blurred. Combat now feels more intense and impactful.

|

This is better explained, watched and enjoyed in the video, so please enjoy this quick demonstration linked below.

Low health VFX are disabled in this Showcase.

Specific content

MW Player Hit Sounds and Effects Redux is a cool mod, but has many out-of-scope issues and patches, such as editing each glowing creature's radiant cloak to reduce the radius.

|

This mod requires no patches, works with all DLC, and is optimized with perk hit detection and engine-level condition evaluation instead of Papyrus OnHit event detection and evaluation.

|

You can configure mods in MCM at any time. You can also toggle stagger, low health effects, and configure the threshold for low health effects.

|

That’s it, have fun!

Notice:

This mod has been tested on both versions and works on both next-gen and last-gen.
