Shrapnel Grenade: Decrease the scale of fragments.
Toxic Gas Mine: The smoke moves more slowly when it’s affected by wind.

Details Frag Grenade, Impact Grenade, and Fragmentation Mine: Greatly reduced flame size, significantly increased explosion shock smoke. (visual style similar to Call of Duty) Incendiary Grenade and Inferno Mine: Explosions now produce flaming debris. Enhanced heat wave and fire effects. Shrapnel Grenade: Reduced fire and smoke. Greatly increased the number of explosion fragments. Stronger sense of impact. Particle Grenade: More stylized appearance, similar to fireworks. Stun Mine: Significantly enhanced smoke quantity and visual effect, similar to a smoke grenade. Additionally, an experimental feature has been added: smoke collision. Smoke can be blocked by large objects. Players do not block smoke. Toxic Gas Mine: Optimized smoke. Added more fire flashes. Added sparks. Cryo Mine: Optimized smoke Tesla Pylon: More sparks and electric arc

Compatibility This mod does not modify any forms, which means it has unmatched compatibility. There are only two possible conflict scenarios:

Another mod modifies the same particle effect files used by the grenades and mines listed above
Another mod causes the grenades and mines to use non-vanilla particle effect files Aside from these two cases, this mod is compatible with all other mods regardless of how they modify grenades and mines.

Stability Tested on three different hardware setups. No noticeable performance issues were found, except for slight frame drops with the Stun Mine under high-stress scenes.
