FN SCAR Mk. 16 Tactical (Replaces SCAR-L / Desert Rifle)

Yo dawg, I heard you like SCARs. So I made a SCAR for the SCAR! Specifically, an FN SCAR Mk.16 Mod 0, otherwise known as a SCAR-L or SCAR-16. Or is it an Effing SCAR? It seems to go by a number of names, maybe this is another of them.

This was a project that was a work in progress since before the Last Stand Update. However, due to various reasons - including personal circumstances and a hard drive failure - I stopped L4D2 modding and forgot all about this. That is, until I managed to recover most of the data from the hard drive a few months ago.

Sometimes, it turns out, if you turn something on and off for just long enough, it'll start working again. Not always, but maybe if you get lucky.

Anyway, I digress. Since I don't like leaving things incomplete, I've finally decided to apply the finishing touches and publish this.

This is heavily based on Farengar's SCAR-L for Mk18 Insurgency mod and uses a previously unreleased variation of Lt. Rocky's ported SCAR Mk20 DMR animations. It actually uses the same base model as Cele's HQ SCAR-L submission, but with a number of small changes; I swapped out the magazine for a Magpul EMAG and added an angled foregrip for a more tactical appearance, in addition to the usage of higher resolution textures and improved material parameters. Also includes a secondary RNG reload animation, though unfortunately this may not work online.

Click here to download the sounds! I decided not to include them this time, so it's optional. If you're the kind of person who likes the default sound effects or uses their own custom sounds, you may find this to be a welcome change.

Requires Doktor Haus' and Urik's particle effects to work properly. Don't mind the inclusion of the sounds in "required items," it's simply to make it easier to download if you subscribe to this mod.

That's it. Do enjoy.
