ESP

This mod adds lots of new information to tooltips and visualizes many hidden mechanics which can be used to improve your gameplay and perfect your build. Also includes a DPS meter.

Works on dedicated servers for server admins.

Some use cases:

• Perfecting your builds with a better understanding of structure support, structure health, cover and smoke mechanics.
• Spawn proofing your bases with the player base effect visualized.
• Determining the best weapons for the job by using the DPS meter and checking the detailed weapon tooltips.
• Finding the best ways to deal with tougher enemies by knowing their resistances and attacks.
• Getting deeper insight of exact mechanics and interaction by looking at the detailed visualizations and tooltips.
