'''.hfs format file compression.'''
: The games files are compressed via the proprietary .hfs format instead of .[[vpk]]. Possibly to counteract cheating or leaking of any game assets.
: Files within .hfs packs contain the typical models, materials, maps, sound etc as every other {{src|4}} game. These can be extracted with a tool named [https://github.com/yretenai/HFSExtract/releases HFSExtract], this is a command prompt executable capable of mass extracting {{Vindictus|4}}'s .hfs files.
