🔫 MWC — Weapons (OpenWar changes)
MWC (Modern Warfare Cubed) brings the firearms, attachments and gear. Here's what changes on OpenWar compared to the original mod — custom tweaks focused on realism and performance.
🔊 Realistic weapon sound
Weapon audio has been fully reworked for maximum immersion:
- Realistic echoes depending on the environment
- Sound muffling behind walls and obstacles
- Speed-of-sound travel (at range, the sound reaches you with a slight delay)
- Audible range up to ~850 m
- Custom attenuation (sound fades naturally with distance)
🤖 The combat bots
The server adds real armed NPCs (nothing to do with the vanilla mobs). Their internal name always starts with a_ or b_ — two sides at war… and shooting at you too:
- 🟦 Side A — Military (
a_…): the military base forces, better equipped. - 🟥 Side B — Terrorists (
b_…): the hostile faction, more numerous but more fragile.
⚔️ Military and terrorists fight each other (and attack players). You can take advantage of their clashes… or get caught in the crossfire.
| Bot | Side | HP | Weapon | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soldier | 🟦 A | 30 | M38 | Standard |
| Soldier T2 | 🟦 A | 40 | NGSWR | High fire rate, 45 m range |
| Heavy Soldier | 🟦 A | 60 | M249 | Tough but slow, sustained fire |
| Sniper | 🟦 A | 20 | L96A1 | Stationary, 90 m range |
| Terrorist T1 | 🟥 B | 15 | Makarov | Low-end |
| Terrorist T2 | 🟥 B | 25 | AK-47 | High fire rate |
| Sniper | 🟥 B | 20 | SVD Dragunov | Stationary, 70 m range |
| Shotgunner | 🟥 B | 15 | Remington 870 | Close-range specialist (20 m) |
| Boss | 🟥 B | 100 | M134 Minigun | Giant, near-continuous fire 😱 |
🧠 Behavior & AI
- ~120° field of view: they only spot you within their vision cone — stay behind them!
- When a bot spots you, it alerts allies within ~20 blocks.
- Realistic accuracy: regular bots have spread; snipers are deadly accurate.
- Each bot has its own fire rate and engagement range (see table).
- Bots don't despawn, can't be pushed, can break doors to chase you, and don't drop their weapon on death.
💥 Body-part hitboxes
Damage depends on where the bullet lands (applies to bots and players):
| Hit zone | Damage | Bonus effect |
|---|---|---|
| 👁️ Eyes (no face protection) | ×2.0 | — |
| 🎯 Head (no helmet) | ×1.55 | 12% chance of a brief blackout |
| 🫁 Torso (no armor) | ×1.1 | sprint disabled at low HP |
| 🍔 Stomach (no armor) | ×1.1 | Hunger applied at low HP |
| 💪 Left arm | ×0.6 | sprint disabled at low HP |
| 💪 Right arm | ×0.6 | 12% chance to knock the weapon out |
| 🦵 Legs | ×1.0 | sprint disabled at low HP |
| 🥾 Feet (protected) | ×0.3 | — |
🛡️ Helmet, vest (plates) and boots absorb part of the damage. An un-helmeted headshot hurts a lot (~×2.5 multiplier).
⚡ 3× faster world loading
A custom optimization cuts world loading time by ~3× with the mod — you get in-game much faster.
