⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Huge community trust — nearly 10k endorsements and 286k downloads.
Does exactly what it says: kills the orange plastic look for a worn metal vibe.
Lightweight texture swap — no performance hit or gameplay tweaks.

👎 Cons

Last updated in 2015 — might not be patched for newer DLC or updates.
Only affects pipe weapons — if you want a full weapon overhaul, this won't cut it.
No before/after screenshots in the description, so you're flying blind on the exact look.
