KF2 HRG Weapon Skins: Apply Any Skin via KFGame.ini

Players cannot normally equip skins on the HRG copies of weapons, but you can apply any skin you own to them by adding entries to KFGame.ini. Other players in online games should see the skin on your HRG weapon. This guide, translated from Spanish, uses the Bastion HRG (the SWAT copy of the Commando Stoner 63A) as the example. Compare with the weapon mod install guide if you also use custom content.

Steps

Own the skin and equip it in-game on the weapon it belongs to. In the example, a Stoner 63A Vietnam skin that will go on the Bastion HRG.
