At the moment of release GO doesn't support modding directly, so installation can be

a bit tricky and you'll need to edit pak01_dir.vpk every time Valve/HPE releases a

patch that updates that file. This'll hopefully change at some point after launch.



1) unarchive the materials & models folders into steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo/

2) BACK UP PAK01_DIR.VPK IN CASE YOU SCREW SOMETHING UP!

3) open up pak01_dir.vpk in Notepad++ or some other proper editor

(Regular notepad will probably break your pak01_dir.vpk, so don't use that)

4) Use find & replace to find all instances of v_rif_m4a1 and replace those with 
anything else, say, rif_m4a2 for ease. What this does is basically it points the
VPK to a file that doesn't exist, and forces it to load loose files - ie. my model/textures.

5) Go in game and enjoy!

How to uninstall:

Rename models/weapons/v_rif_m4a1 

w_rif_m4a1  

w_rif_m4a1_dropped 

w_rif_m4a1_mag
