Because the world is bigger than your raid.

Introduction

This mod attempts to enhance Tarkov's atmosphere with sounds of distant warfare - sporadic gunfire, bursts from automatic weapons and artillery in the background. These events occur dynamically during raids and try to simulate battles taking place beyond the playable area. The end goal is to create more immersive raids where the conflict feels larger than the player's immediate surroundings.

Like most of my projects, this mod is ever so slightly experimental. This means that things may break, behave oddly or not work as expected. If you spot any oddities - let me know!

Preview

By default the ambient effects don't play as often as they do in the video. This is just a preview.

Installation

Drag and drop, my friend.
