Closer's Experimental Weapon Pack — blocking, parrying and gun bashes
A weapon pack with custom first-person animations and mechanics, adding a block that absorbs attacks and a parry that knocks enemies down.
Details
A weapon pack that brings **defensive options** 7DTD does not have, built on top of `KF Common Utility Library` (kflib) to extend melee controls.
What it adds
**Blocking** — certain weapons can absorb attacks, raising buff resistance and cutting damage. A **perfectly timed block (a parry) knocks enemies down.**
**Bashing** — shove enemies away while holding these guns, or stab from the dark.
Both have **no default key binding**: the author deliberately leaves them unset, so you must **assign them yourself in the keybinding settings**. Without that, you may never notice the features exist.
The dependencies are heavy
| Requirement | |
|---|---|
| Prerequisites | `KF Common Utility Library` and `KF SFX Lib` |
| Install on | **both server and clients** |
| EAC | must be **disabled** (the library uses DLLs) |
| Updating | **update the prerequisites first** — the author warns about this repeatedly |
Installing with stale prerequisites throws exceptions. **Always update the libraries before this pack.**
Compatibility patches for `EFTX` (the Escape from Tarkov line) are included, adapting loot, recipes and trader inventory.
The distributed file is labelled for game versions **v2.0 - v2.6**; V3 support is not stated.
Installation
Install `KF Common Utility Library` and `KF SFX Lib` **first**, then extract this into your `Mods` folder. Required on both server and clients. Afterwards, **bind the block key yourself in the settings.**
