🎯 Tips & Tricks
Check if the mod requires a new game or if it works with existing saves — some ballistics overhauls need a fresh start.
Test the mod in a low-stakes area first to get a feel for bullet drop and travel time before relying on it in combat.
If you use other gameplay mods, load Weapons of Fate after them to ensure its changes take priority.
