An ongoing collection of my personal favourite mods to enhance the game but stay true to it's roots and vision.
Keeping it grounded and believable with a little dash of humour ;)

Carefully selected with compatibility in mind.

1. Subscribe to all and wait for the download to finish.
   
2. Move Weapons FX Realistic MuzzleFlash Particles' .vpk inside your steamapps/workshop/content/222880/972191982 folder into the custom folder.
   
3. Move VALient's .vpk inside your steamapps/workshop/content/222880/3320528771 folder into the custom folder.
   
4. Add "-floathdr" to Launch Parameters.
   
5. Run the Game and enable the console.
   
6. Open the console and enter the following commands:
   
   • snd_restart (Needs to be enabled everytime you play, so I highly recommend to follow this Guide to bind it to a hotkey! Or even better, follow my recommendation below*)
     
   • snd_obstruction_enable 1
     
   • dsp_enhance_stereo 1
     
   • dsp_vol_2ch 1.0
     
   • cl_ragdoll_collide 1
     
   • cl_ads_fov_scale 0
     
   • cl_ads_weapon_fov_scale 1.3
     
   • mat_use_compressed_hdr_textures 0
     
   • hud_reloadscheme (bind to hotkey recommended)
7. Enjoy the Game ^_^

On Step 3, instead of manually writing in the commands at gamestart (especially those that need repeating), I recommend to setup an autoexec file that does that for you whenever you launch the game.
Here's how:

1. Go to steamapps\common\insurgency2\insurgency\cfg
   
2. Create a new textfile and name it autoexec.cfg
   
3. Open the new file with your texteditor of choice (Notepad++[notepad-plus-plus.org] highly recommended) and enter all the needed commands:
   
   snd_restart snd_obstruction_enable 1 dsp_enhance_stereo 1 dsp_vol_2ch 1.0 cl_ragdoll_collide 1 cl_ads_fov_scale 0 cl_ads_weapon_fov_scale 1.3 mat_use_compressed_hdr_textures 0 hud_reloadscheme Doesn't seem to work, bind to hotkey recommended!
4. Save and close the file.
   
5. Start the game, knowing you don't have to worry about commands ;)

A good ReShade can tremendously transform your ingame experience!
All ReShade files need to be in C:\steam\steamapps\common\insurgency2\bin\x64 in order to work.

I can highly recommend the Sokol ReShade by kaz here on the workshop for a nice modern natural look!

WARNING!
Unfortunately, this particular Reshade is unavailable and the new one gets blocked by Battleye!
As it seems to be with every Reshade Version higher than 1.1.0! (seems I got lucky somehow when I first tried it, investigating further)
Personally I went with Body Cam ECHO for Ready or Not on Nexusmods[www.nexusmods.com] and disabled most post process effects to achieve stable 60+ fps but retain the body cam look.
Check the video and my screenshots to see how it looks ;)
