r_vertexLight
Replaces baked lightmaps/shadows with flat vertex lighting for even illumination. On eliminates hiding spots in shadows, revealing enemies consistently.
💡
Pro Tip
Turn it ON and set r_overBrightBits 2 — flat lighting removes every shadow hiding spot so you can see enemies no matter where they crouch.
