Realistic barrel smoke and heat haze on fired weapons with an in-game editor for ESX and QBCore
Guns in FiveM fire and then look instantly cold, which robs every firefight of a little realism. Weapon Smoke & Heat System fixes that with barrel smoke and shimmering heat haze that builds as a weapon is fired — and an in-game editor to tune it exactly how you like. It is a subtle effect that makes your gunplay look genuinely cinematic.
What the weapon smoke system adds
- Barrel smoke that rises from a weapon after firing.
- Heat haze that shimmers off a hot barrel during sustained fire.
- Effects that build with use and cool down naturally.
- An in-game editor to tune intensity, timing and appearance.
- Consistent behavior across your weapon loadout.
Why weapon effects matter
- Firefights look cinematic instead of flat and gamey.
- The lingering smoke adds weight and consequence to gunfire.
- Streamers and clip-makers capture dramatically better footage.
- Sustained fire visibly heats a barrel, rewarding controlled bursts.
- Small realism touches raise the tone of your whole combat system.
Clean and configurable
- Built for ESX and QBCore with a simple install.
- The in-game editor makes tuning effortless — no config diving required.
- Optimized so effects do not hurt frames in a heavy firefight.
- Works alongside your existing weapon and combat systems.
