THIS IS WHERE ILL BE TESTING OUT NEW ADDITIONS IN VISUAL EFFECTS 

Attempting to recreate the violent, chaotic atmosphere of modern combat. Every shot fired, every round impacting a wall, and every explosion detonating nearby is designed to make firefights feel more intense, dangerous, and immersive.

A reworked version nearly every major combat visual, including:
-Enhanced muzzle flashes with realistic flash signatures based on weapon type and muzzle device.
-Improved tracer effects with more authentic brightness, persistence, and trajectory visibility.
-Rebuilt explosion effects featuring denser smoke, brighter blast flashes, and longer-lasting debris.
-Overhauled material impact effects, with unique dust, sparks, concrete fragments, dirt spray, wood splinters, and metal strikes that better reflect the surface being hit.
-Refined particle effects for a cleaner, more believable battlefield without sacrificing visibility.
