Escape From Tarkov – Overhaul (v1.2 B27 stable)

Test version 0.9.5B of the Escape From Tarkov – Overhaul mod

Core Features
1. Massive Arsenal of Realistic Weapons
The mod introduces near 100 new clean, realistic firearms from EFT and some from others, for those who hate the junk aesthetics of vanilla weapons.
Each weapon comes with custom animations, visible attachments, grip pose, under barrel grenade launcher, PiP scopes, secondary sight and dynamic reloading (shotgun singular shell loading, empty vs partial reloading, drum mag vs normal mag reloading).
Weapons quality tier no longer increases damage but instead increases durability, resale value, and the number of attachment slots available.
The damage system has been redesigned to make weapon caliber, rather than weapon quality, the determining factor in damage output. A high-caliber round will shred through enemies but might be scarce and expensive to craft, forcing you to make every shot count, while smaller caliber have the advantage of better sound suppression and cheaper to produce, higher stack size etc.
2. Overhauled Ammunition and Armor Mechanics
The mod adds 45+ types of ammunition, categorized into Ball, Armor Piercing (AP), and Hollow Point (HP) variants for each caliber. This allows players to tailor their loadouts depending on the type of enemy they’re facing.

Armored zombies now have actual armor. Shooting armored zombies with non-AP piercing ammos will have reduced damage, so you can’t no longer just brute force without wasting your ammunition.
Ammo can be disassembled at workbenches to retrieve the resources equivalent and create the rounds you need.

3. Attachments
Weapon attachments play a key role in combat. Scopes, suppressors, muzzle devices, foregrips + stocks and magazine attachments can drastically change the performance of a gun, its accuracy, recoil, hip-fire spread, aiming speed and more.
The mod includes nearly 200 item modifiers ranging from common to unique. Some require prerequisite attachments for example: a gun with shorter handguard might require a foregrip before you could install light and laser on it; a gun with no rails might need a ‘Rail handguard’ to enable other attachments like foregrip, laser, light or launcher.

4. Revamped Looting System
The looting system has been completely reworked for immersion. Containers like shelves, cabinets, and crates now contain contextual loot based on their appearance and location. For example:

Electronics shelving will have electronic components.
Kitchen cabinets will have food, water, or cooking supplies.
Hardware stores will carry tools and crafting materials.
So if you want something in particular, go to that specific location to look for it.

5. Immersive night

Night time has been made truly dark as nighttime should be instead of ‘darker day’. Light sources from helmet light and weapon light have also been changed to compliment this. You start with an old and weak helmet light with limited power and intensity. Progressing looting tiers will eventually give you a chance at finding better, wider and brighter helmet light to help with your nighttime adventures.

This mod is still in active testing phase, but is very much 90% playable and enjoyable.

For installation, simply download and extract with 7z preferably into your ‘Mods’ folder. Remember to check for ‘0_TFP_harmony’ in your mod folder. The overhaul mod will not work without this file. If you’re missing the file (by accidentally deleting it), simply verify the game through steam to recover it.
