An enthusiast has introduced a modification for Atomic Heart that brings lifelike chest movement to the game’s two central robotic units, the twin ballerina robots. The tweak has sparked conversation on a cyber-sports oriented forum, where players weigh its impact on the feel and realism of the game’s robotic figures.
On Nexus Mods, a creator using the handle Lagglemchammer released a mod for Atomic Heart designed to simulate believable chest motion for the twin ballerina robots. The update makes the torsos respond to in-game actions with a natural sway and breathing-like movement, adding a tangible sense of weight and presence to the machines during movement and combat sequences.
The developer has also cautioned about potential compatibility issues. The mod may conflict with other alterations that modify robot visuals, and there is a possibility of odd or unexpected behavior in certain cutscenes and video sequences within the game. Players are advised to test carefully and back up save data when experimenting with this modification.
Lagglemchammer has expressed plans to continue refining the mod. An upcoming release is anticipated to address user-reported concerns and to bolster stability, with further tweaks aimed at smoothing animations and ensuring broader compatibility with other popular architectural mods in Atomic Heart.
Atomic Heart is a first-person shooter available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. For players in the Commonwealth of Independent States, the title is distributed on PC through the VK Play store, expanding regional access beyond mainstream storefronts.
