Sci-Fi Arsenal

This pack includes missiles, explosions, flamethrowers and several other effects perfect for sci-fi combat and environments.

The particle effects mainly use additive textures and are made to look bright and glowy without the need for post-processing effects.

The prefabs are sorted into 3 main categories for ease of use. The range of effects supports genres such as RPGs, shooters, platformers and adventure games.
