Performance Impact: Low (CPU)
r_ambientScale
Intensity of wraparound ambient light on objects. Higher reduces deep shadows for better visibility in corners without full washout.
💡
Pro Tip
Bump to 15 — the extra wraparound light fills in dark corners so you can spot campers without cranking fullbright or vertex lighting.
