Hunt: Showdown Nitro Express

The Nitro Express chambered in.577 Nitro Express from Hunt: Showdown!

This is the non-aperture sight original variant of the Nitro before Crytek patched in the aperture. The example art has the aperture installed, I may release aperture variants in the future if I can figure out a way to implement it with scope magic.

Supports Potatoes Better Mag Release for blocking auto ejection if desired

NITRO EXPRESS RIFLE. (See also, RIFLE) A break-action, double-barreled rifle ideal for hunting large game, the Nitro Express was often used by British colonials on elephant hunting expeditions. It is similarly effective in bringing down buffalo, bear, and other large game found in the Americas. Though the Nitro Express has a short range, its shot is incredibly powerful, with an equally powerful recoil.

The Nitro Express Rifle is actually named for its cartridge, called as such because of the bullet velocity, which is fast as an express train, according to James Purdey, who coined the term, and because the propellant used is cordite, which is made of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
