🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a texture/model replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder and enable the mod in your launcher.
If you use a mod manager like FOMM or Vortex, install it through the manager to keep your load order clean.
Check the mod's file structure to ensure it overwrites the correct files—backup your original sniper textures if you want to revert.
🔧 Troubleshooting
