HDR Fanatic Sniper Rifle

HDR Fanatic adds a new iconic bolt-action anti-materiel rifle to Cyberpunk 2077. Chambered in 12.7 mm, it comes with a five-round magazine, custom variable-zoom scope, removable suppressor, folding iron sights and its own sounds and first-person animations.

The rifle always comes as a Legendary iconic weapon.

Weapon Features

– Power sniper rifle built on the Grad chassis
– Bolt-action operation with V cycling the bolt after every shot
– Each shot deals 1.5x the damage of the Grad
– Five-round magazine
– Unique model, name and inventory icons
– Custom sounds and animations
– Moving bolt, trigger and magazine

Variable Zoom Scope

The included optic combines a long riflescope with a digital rear unit and deep rubber eyecup. While aiming, the camera looks directly through the eyecup for a clean sight picture.

The scope can be removed. HDR Fanatic also supports other compatible sniper and rifle optics, including scopes from the Grad and Nekomata lists and modded optics added to the same lists.

The flip-up iron sights automatically fold flat whenever a scope is installed. Remove the optic and they return to their raised position, with the front post correctly aligned through the rear aperture.

Muzzle Attachments

HDR Fanatic initially comes with the Colossus Suppressor installed. It has its own suppressed firing sound.

The suppressor can be replaced from the weapon screen with the included Fanatic Muzzle Brake or compatible vanilla suppressors and muzzle brakes.

Animations

The original first-person animations have been retargeted and adjusted specifically for V and this weapon.

They include:

– Hip-fire and ADS poses
– Recoil and bolt cycling after every shot
– Standard reload
– Empty reload with bolt, casing and magazine animations
– First draw
– Weapon inspection
– Sprint animation
– Original camera shake and movement

The bolt lifts and travels backward during firing and empty reloads, the trigger moves when firing, and V manually replaces the magazine.

Audio

The rifle has dedicated sounds for:

– Normal gunfire
– Suppressed gunfire
– Bolt cycling
– Standard reload
– Empty reload
– First draw
– Weapon inspection

AudioXL adds these sounds using their original animation cues. REDmod isn't required.

How to Obtain

The rifle is available through the Dead's Aorta Virtual Atelier store.

It can also be spawned through Cyber Engine Tweaks:

Game.AddToInventory("Items.HDR_Fanatic", 1)

The rifle comes with the Variable Zoom Scope and Colossus Suppressor already installed.

Spare attachments:

Game.AddToInventory("Items.HDR_Fanatic_Scope", 1)
Game.AddToInventory("Items.HDR_Fanatic_Brake", 1)
Game.AddToInventory("Items.HDR_Fanatic_Suppressor", 1)

Requirements

– Cyberpunk 2077 2.31
– Phantom Liberty
– AudioXL
– redscript
– Codeware
– RED4ext
– ArchiveXL 1.27.3 or newer
– TweakXL
– Cyber Engine Tweaks – Required to spawn the rifle

AudioXL is required for the custom weapon sounds. Without it, the rifle will be silent.

Installation

Vortex:

– Install the main file normally

Manual:

– Extract the folders from the downloaded archive into your Cyberpunk 2077 directory
– A complete file list is included in the README

Compatibility

The rifle, attachments, animations, sounds and sound events use new records and files.

No existing game files are replaced. AudioXL merges the new sound entries into the game's weapon sound list during loading, so archive load order doesn't affect them and other weapon audio mods shouldn't override the HDR Fanatic's sounds.

Notes

Weapons retain the parts and stats they had when they were originally created. After updating the mod, spawn a fresh HDR Fanatic to receive any changes.

The animations have been tested primarily with male V. Female V uses a separate copy of the same animations but hasn't received as much testing.
