Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Tranq Gun Tweaks Mod v1.1

                    
Tranq Gun Tweaks is a balance-focused Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Mod that makes the M22 tranq pistol feel precise at the crosshair without turning it into a map-wide cheat.
It targets non-lethal stealth fans and challenge runners who want cleaner sight-to-impact behavior, optional reticle clarity, and fewer arc-induced misses while keeping positioning and range discipline meaningful.
Mod features

Two installable variants: Core ballistics tweak and an optional reticle add-on designed for the new behavior.
M22 hitscan-style trajectory: Converts the vanilla steep arc into near-instant impact for point-of-aim consistency.
Balanced trade-offs: Lowers tranq needle speed and shortens effective range so stealth still demands good spacing.
Optional quad‑dot reticle: Swaps the stadiametric M22 sight for a quad‑dot pattern (from M1911 style) that better fits hitscan alignment.
Version-ready: Calibrated for current builds targeting v1.1.2 behavior.
Achievement-safe: Does not block achievements in single-player.
High compatibility: Plays well with most Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Mods that don’t edit the gun-parameter datatable.

In-game impact and use cases

What it affects: The M22’s ballistic drop, velocity, and effective range; optional ADS reticle for better visual confirmation.
Best scenarios: Non-lethal clears, stealth boss prep, speedrun routing where a missed tranq wastes time and consumables.
Why it helps: Hitscan removes unpredictable mid-range drop while tighter range/velocity preserves stealth risk-reward.
Shines in: Jungle patrols and tight indoor routes with overlapping cones, where a single clean dart collapses an alert chain.

Installation & Prerequisites
Variants included:

Tranq Gun Tweaks (Core): M22 hitscan-style ballistics with balanced range and speed adjustments.
Tranq Gun Better Reticle (Optional): Quad‑dot reticle that aligns better with the new ballistics.

Requirements: Standard PAK loading via the game’s “~mods” folder. No special loader is required beyond the base game’s support for loose PAKs.

Download the file from the Downloads section.
Go to the game path: …/steamapps/common/MGSDelta/MGSDelta/Content/Paks
Create ~mods inside Paks if it does not exist.
Place the three core files (.pak, .utoc, .ucas) for Tranq Gun Tweaks into ~mods.
(Optional) To use the Tranq Gun Better Reticle variant, drop its three files into the same ~mods folder.
Launch the game and test the M22 to confirm the new ballistics and, if installed, the quad‑dot reticle.

Uninstall:

Remove the installed Tweaks files (e.g., 000_Tranqualizer_NoGravity_P set) from ~mods.
Remove the optional reticle files if you installed that variant.

Compatibility notes:

Should be compatible with anything that does not modify the gun-parameter datatable.
Does not interfere with achievements in single-player.
For shared or co-op-style setups, install on both ends if you want guaranteed identical behavior.
