Mod «[B42] Vanilla Firearms Expansion [CLASSIC]» for Project Zomboid

A Build 42 port of the classic Vanilla Firearms Expansion, originally created by Vilespring, Stendo_Clip, and Spuchel. This fork preserves the original assets and design while ensuring compatibility with Build 42.

• Adds approximately 40 firearms in vanilla art style, including pistols, revolvers, SMGs, rifles, shotguns, and machine guns with custom models, textures, icons, sounds, and animations
• Includes attachments such as optics, bipods, slings, recoil pads, choke tubes, ammo straps, and coupled magazines
• Introduces additional calibers alongside vanilla ammunition, complete with magazines, boxes, and cartons
• Features folding stocks, bayonets, weapon lights, and alternate weapon models
• Provides craftable ammunition packing integrated with vanilla recipes

Firearms spawn based on rarity tiers rather than uniform distribution. Common weapons appear in houses, cars, and pawn shops, while rare variants are concentrated in police and military locations. Container density is tuned per location type to maintain immersion. Sandbox options allow control over overall spawn rates and specific location groups, with an option to replace vanilla firearms with modded weapons.

An in-game admin panel enables per-weapon and per-class tuning for damage, fire rate, jamming, reload speed, range, loot density, and rounds per ammo box. Changes apply live and sync to connected clients, though loot adjustments require a server restart. The mod is built and tested on dedicated PvP servers with server-authoritative mechanics.

Compatibility:

• Compatible with Better Sorting and Improvised Silencers — Build 42.20 Compatibility
• Compatibility with other gun mods is not guaranteed and requires testing
• Serves as a requirement for Vanilla Firearms Expansion — STALKER pack and Vanilla Firearms Expansion — Post '93 add-ons
