✨ User experience
After installing this mod, you will find that the weapon shop, item descriptions and weapon wheel in the game have a completely new look! Those familiar "Lancaster repeating guns" become the "Winchester M1866" from the history textbook, instantly making you feel more like a real gunfighter at the end of the 19th century. For players who like textual research and history, this is definitely a small detail module that can greatly enhance immersion.
**Go and experience these historical guns in the game! ** 🤠
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
