Because the world is bigger than your raid.
Introduction
This mod attempts to enhance Tarkov’s atmosphere with sounds of distant warfare - sporadic gunfire, bursts from automatic weapons, artillery and vehicles in the background. These events occur dynamically during raids and try to simulate battles and events taking place beyond the playable area. The end goal is to create more immersive raids where the conflict feels larger than the player’s immediate surroundings.
Like most of my projects, this mod is ever so slightly experimental. This means that things may break, behave oddly or not work as expected. If you spot any oddities - let me know!
Project board can be found HERE.
Preview
This is just a preview, which means that the events will not play as often in-game as they do here.
Installation
Drag and drop, my friend.

- Significant rewrite of the mod’s core functionality - each map has their own event configurations, ambience events can happen simultaneously and ovelap, events can have time of day restrictions and more. Modders are now able to create their own configuration presets, import their own sounds, create new sound categories and sound types.
- Added helicopter ambient events to Customs, Streets, Reserve and Ground Zero.

Hell yeah, thanks for the Fika variant! This is suuuuuper helpful, was a bit jarring for folks to not hear the same events. I’m assuming this needs to go on all clients, including headless?
The new ‘distant’ sound effects + levels + reverb are fantastic in 2.1.0, looooove these changes.
I didn’t realize this mod’s config was min-max delays from the start of the raid and from the last event in the same category. I personally find the helicopter happens far too often (and the sound loop is very recognizable at this point), so I’ve swapped my config to this on all maps:
“minimumVolume”: 0.4, “maximumVolume”: 0.6, “minimumTimeToNextAmbience”: 1200, “maximumTimeToNextAmbience”: 3000, “minimumTimeFromRaidStart”: 180, “maximumTimeFromRaidStart”: 1200
Love the mod but one thing i noticed is that on maps like shoreline or lighthouse the noises also play from the sea which doesn’t make much sense but this is only a small thing and it would probably be a pain the the ass to fix
it’s a good concept for a mod, but it makes it sound like there are more people on the map than there really are. If you updated the effects to be more distant and cause less schizo moments that would greatly increase the immersion in my opinion.
Good mod nonetheless
I’d very much like to play with this mod, but it gives me “An error occured” while loading a raid, I can click “OK” and try again, second time it loads fine but it gives me serious errors like I can’t aim down sights, etc…
Since I haven’t seen anyone in the comments complain about that, I guess it’s conflicting with another mod ?

Enhanced Schizo Mod, just what I needed!
I love the idea of this mod, of more ambient sounds (or even visuals). But I don’t think I would like to hear more gunshots that sound like they’re coming from inside the map. The game Zero Sievert has some nice ambient sounds, distant explosions and such. Fighter jets flying far above would be cool, distance contrails. I dunno, Tarkov needs more ambient things in general but I don’t think more gunshots. I’m waiting for someone to turn zombies into rabid dogs…
Great work anyway. Want to see where this mod goes.
