Accurate visual ballistic arc for grenades. Do you identify as a pitching machine? Yearn to sink a grenade down a scav's pants from a dozen yards? This is the tool to get you going.

This here is a visual assistance mod. For now it's fairly barebones as it only contains the ballistic arc assist for grenades that was part of my HollywoodCam mod but separated after on numerous requests to make it standalone. Perhaps it'll grow into something more over time.


* Accurate visual ballistic arc for grenades

* Works both in 1st person and 3rd person (with my patent pending HollywoodCam apparatus linked below)


Best used with HollywoodCam

  • Version 1.0.1

    Fixed a bug where partizan would get his shit pushed in, someone then tripped one of his traps and the grenade would get depressed that it's owner died and decided that the best course of actions is to SPAWN LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF GRENADES AS REVENGE!!111one


    Thanks Retrologic and "die mitze" once more for doing the detective work.

  • I play almost exclusively in VR and can't throw grenades to save my life, hopefully this mod will save me as I've been after something like this forever! Thank you!

  • We saw some serious issues when using this. Given what i'm about to describe, I suspect this is some sort of desync issue with Fika.

    The arc looks great but from an observer's perspective, the grenade seem to teleport around randomly, and almost like they're bouncing off the "walls" of the arc while sailing through the air and often don't land anywhere near where they were thrown (in the vicinity, ie not on the other side of the map, but significantly off from the trajectory).


    I thought I'd grabbed a screen cap of this before we removed the mod but can't find it so I'll try to describe what we saw. At the Resort on Shoreline, the thrower was standing by the heilcopter throwing grenades towards the closest east wing doors (south west corner of the east wing). I (the observer) was standing outside the fence to the south of the east wing, about halfway down the path. The arc looked good but the grenades (I think 3 or 4 were thrown) wouldn't land anywhere between the thrower and the door. At least one instance it landed pretty close to where I was standing, nowhere in that trajectory.

    • This mod doesn't do any network synch and has nothing to do with Fika, so I'm not sure why you are submitting this problem here...

    • Primarily because we never saw this issue before adding this mod and it went away immediately when we removed it. That's obviously circumstantial and could have been some network issue or something so I'll try to do some more testing and see if I can better understand what's going on.

    • Try giving it a shot now? I changed some stuff around so that the game feeds the correct velocities to the underlying fika logic. FWIW, if you see that kind of bouncing around, it probably also means that the Fika host is struggling to maintain at least 30 fps...

    • Thanks! I'll see if I can talk the guy I game with to give it another shot.


      I don't think I've ever seen my headless drop below 58 FPS and is usually pinged at 60; it's a Minisforum UM780 XTX (Ryzen 7 7840HS, max 5.1 GHz) so I would not expect it to.

    • FWIW, this is a purely client side mod. There's no need to coordinate with anyone else.

  • mm nice tool <3 bugcatfat

  • Please do the same, but for underbarrel grenade launchers.

  • Some cool-factor requests for this mod:
    - Option to change the colors

    - Alternative visual: instead of a solid line have a option to change to a line of dots
