🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's ESPless, just drop the files into your mods folder and activate it in the in-game mod menu — no load order headaches.
Test your aim with a low-recoil weapon first to get a feel for the new spread before you rely on it in a horde fight.
If you're playing multiplayer, make sure all players have the mod installed to avoid desync issues.

- Adds a real sense of weight to gunplay — you'll actually feel the kick instead of laser-beam accuracy.
👎 Cons
