Recoil Rework

Or.. tweaks? Doesn't matter. Vanilla recoil sucks anyway.

Introduction

Tarkov's recoil feels kind of bland and weightless. This lightweight mod aims to make recoil punchier by tweaking some recoil values. While I am open to suggestions, this mod is ultimately shaped by my own preferences and is thus highly opinionated around what I would like Tarkov's recoil to look and feel like. Feature requests are always welcome.

I encourage you to play around with various settings to see what suits you.

Preview

Installation

Drag and drop. Like any other mod.

Known Issues

• There's a rare bug where weapon recoil gets multiplied for seemingly no reason. I could replicate it by reloading my weapon and shooting without aiming down sights but there seem to be other causes. Setting the Recoil Angle Intensity config values to 1.0 seemed to make the issue go away at first glance. Let me know if this still happens with versions above 1.3.0

A small list of mods I would recommend using alongside Recoil Rework:

• Fontaine's FOV Fix
• Better Rear Sights
• Reflex Sights Rework
  

... and a few others, but I'm gatekeeping them.

Recoil Rework 1.2.0

• Adjusted recoil values for some weapons.
• Fixed head bobbing.
• Added toggle for camera rotation while leaning.
• Added config options for left stance offset amount, speed, rotation.
• Encountered an issue during testing where local recoil values would change while bots were changing weapons so hopefully that's fixed too.
• Some server-side changes related to weapon data management.
