Banshee Defense

👻 Hi! This is Banshee Defense, let me briefly introduce this mod.

Banshee Defense is a personal defense-focused firearm mod dedicated to providing subscribers with affordable, efficient, and lethal personal defense weapons. This allows users to quickly arm themselves and their teams to protect their assets in the cold, merciless depths of Barotrauma.

No prerequisites required, fully compatible with the base game. It currently supports both English and Chinese languages.

🔫 Weapon System:

We currently offer 10 assault rifles from different eras of Old Earth to accompany you on your deep-sea adventures. All weapons possess relatively complete weapon systems. Weapons can also be equipped with attachments to enhance combat effectiveness. Please note that weapon expandability varies objectively due to platform limitations.

Weapon list: M16 Assault Rifle, Z95 Assault Rifle, AK-74 Assault Rifle, M16A3 Assault Rifle, M17SP Assault Rifle, HAR37 Assault Rifle, VHS Assault Rifle, AK400 Assault Rifle, M42 IAR, Z191 Assault Rifle

🔧 Attachment System:

We currently provide 14 different types of attachments for weapon customization, including red dot sights, holographic sights, optical scopes, special-function sights, two types of grips, one laser pointer, one tactical flashlight, and two functional cosmetic items for friendly fire protection.

Special note: Some weapons feature dual sight mounts. This design allows players to maintain tactical advantages by pairing special-function sights with other optics for better versatility. Please avoid installing two non-special-function sights on the same weapon simultaneously (this may cause visibility issues).

📝 Additional Notes:

Items in this mod can be obtained through crafting, purchasing, or natural spawning. The Banshee Defense mod features higher stats compared to the base game and is recommended for higher difficulty gameplay.

The mod is still in its early stages, and content may be relatively rough. Please report any bugs or suggestions in the comments section.

Special Thanks: Letheland, cheese, Hellcat, Sleepy Whale

Version 0.93 Update Notes:

Not all weapons have received skins at this time—feedback will be taken into consideration, and remaining weapons are planned to receive skins in future updates. Also includes item description text adjustments, as well as bug fixes and known issue corrections.

Special Statement:

To address potential needs down the line: in principle, I give everyone permission to adjust this mod however you see fit. Whether you want to add mechanics, tweak details, or simply tailor it to your own gameplay experience—if you truly want to, go ahead and make it happen. All I ask is that you drop a link to your uploaded version in the comments below :-)

================== A Few Words from the Author ==================

It is June 23, 2026. Given the series of changes that may be coming, I feel I should say something.

I returned to Europa in September 2025 to start a new exploration, and for various reasons, I began thinking about and prototyping my own standalone weapon mod. It all started during a time when my job was getting progressively worse. By November that year, as the number and functionality of individual weapons grew, I started consolidating them into a single mod and continued building from there. For a long while after that, the mod remained in a private, testing-only state.

On December 14, 2025, my work life came to a complete collapse. I took some time off to rest and pull myself back together. Once I felt better, I returned to the mod to create new content and consolidate the scattered resources I had made. That was when I started seriously thinking about sharing the mod with the community and began polishing it in earnest.

It was beautiful—even if only temporarily. You can make yourself feel less miserable by staying focused on one thing.

But those good days are behind me now. I have to save my life, even if I only have eight days to decide how I will die. So version 0.93 might be the only update I can manage for the foreseeable future. I don't want to make empty promises—I just hope I can get through this and come back to breathe new life into this mod.

Thank you for reading this far. Wherever you are, please take care of yourself in these difficult times. See you on Europa…
