I’m trying to emit particles that are using a the Particles/Additive(Soft) shader on mobile to emit in front of all other object.
Found out how to do it. I downloaded the builtin shaders, and added this right underneath the tags: ZTest Always
For those who quite didn’t figure this out, here’s an example of an Alpha Blended Foreground shader:

Shader "Particles/Alpha Blended Foreground" {
Properties {
_TintColor ("Tint Color", Color) = (0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5)
_MainTex ("Particle Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
_InvFade ("Soft Particles Factor", Range(0.01,3.0)) = 1.0
}
