Elevate your Tarkov experience with enhanced lighting effects brought to you by way of Reshade and Amands graphics. Experience blacker blacks, more realistic nights, no rusty overlay, removed interior fog, and much much more.

Built upon Reshade 6.3.1 and AmandsGraphics with months weeks of tuning, adjustments, and testing the mod is finally ready to release to the public.

Enjoy EFT as it should be with no rusty orange overlay, no washed out colors, no fog inside every interior.

The aim of this mod is not to completely overhaul the look of EFT, but to improve what is already there. Designed first and foremost as a gameplay graphics enhancer and to deliver stunning visuals while not sacrificing FPS.

No in-game performance robbing Post FX is used.

2. Install Amands Graphics.

3. Install Reshade 6.3.1 When installing reshade, please select Tarkov 2025 for your preset. After selecting this and clicking next, your computer will download all required shaders and the parameters will be set.

4. In the download there is a folder called BepinEx. it has the config file for Amands Graphics. Please install this LAST. If you dont, your game wont look like my screenshots.

On the Select preset to install screen, the file called Tarkov 2025should auto-populate in the bottom text field if you followed step 1. If it doesn’t, browse to your SPT folder and select it.

(first shot is plain EFT, second shot is with the mod on. All shots were taken with Tarkov Weather System mod. Not all screenshots are taken at the same time of day. Screenshots taken on LG 39GS95QE HDR 3440x1440p OLED monitor. )

As with any screenshots, these do not do the quality very much justice.
