Not common

How about we make real tinnitus, making gun sounds as loud as it can be at the point of making your headphones and eardrums explode :)

adding more tinitus to my tinitus

What do you mean like muffle all the gun audio? I dont know if that would sound very good because it would be very inconsistant with the rest of the audio. I could just muffle everything like the player VO, the radio coms, the weapons, and the environment sounds, but thats a big endevor that i dont feel willing to do. Im sorry that shooting down your suggestion but please understand, doing a whole overhaul of the weapon's gun shots was tedious enough. Thank for playing mod, im glad you could pull some insparation/ ideas from it. :)

Can you try to make mod when you have ear protection on, other than that it is a really good mod my guy :)
