High FOV causes clipping
Use The Cartel Overhaul Mod
|
- When using a higher FOV there will be a large amount of clipping on most weapon models. This mod fixes the issue by setting the FOV to 68° vertical (100° horizontal) and moving the positions of every weapon to remove as much clipping as possible.
