Shiny Weapons
**⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE NOTICE**: This mod has been replaced by the **Gun Metal Rework** project.
✨ Module Introduction
This is a mod designed to improve the appearance of all base gun metal textures in Red Dead Redemption 2. By modifying the material file, the weapon looks more reflective and realistic, as if it has been carefully polished and maintained.

- **Confirm path**: The final file path should be `Red Dead Redemption 2\lml\Shiny_Guns\` (contains ymt and xml files).
**Prerequisites:**

📝 Project status
This is an **ongoing project**. The author's ultimate goal is to make the weapon textures in the game look as realistic and awesome as possible.

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.
