About this mod Machine translation

Gun Metal Rework but Nickel is Replaced with Gold

🎉 **Welcome to this unique gun metal replacement mod! ** It can give your "Red Dead Redemption 2" firearms a completely new look.

✨ Module function

  • **Gold Replaces Nickel**: Completely replace the **nickel metal** and **oxidized nickel** materials of all firearms in the game with shiny **gold** and **oxidized gold** materials.
  • **Double Action Revolver Exclusive**: This mod was originally made to allow the **Double Action Revolver** to be metal customizable with gold.
  • **Keep original options**: Through clever file adjustments, both metal options **Nickel** and **Gold** are still available in the game, and you can choose freely.

🛠️ Production instructions

This mod is based on the original Gun Metal Rework mod by **Alsharad**.

All I did was:

  • Assign the material values ​​of **gold** and **oxidized gold** to the original **nickel** and **nickel oxide** respectively.
  • Perform the reverse operation at the same time to ensure that both metals will not disappear in the game.

💡 **Tips**: This process is actually quite simple! I encourage other players to try modifying the file to create their own unique metallic look.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
