MG42 Progress Update
Here are some new screenshots of the MG42, now fully textured and getting ready for Pointe du Hoc.
The MG42 will be a two-man-operated weapon, with one player handling the gun while the second helps keep it running under sustained fire.
We are also working on the details that make the weapon feel alive. The current asset includes:
Two bipod mounting positions, using either the front or middle socket
Texture variants for the barrel cleaning phase
Barrel overheating
Heat tinting after sustained fire
Barrel replacement when overheating becomes too severe
And yes... if you keep firing long enough, the barrel will overheat and you will need to change it.
This is one of the first steps toward making crew-operated weapons a proper part of the combat experience in Brass Rain.
