📋 About This Mod

There's a check in the base game's code to disable ragdoll-ing (and collisions) for NPCs killed by finishers.

This small redscript mod disables that check for an NPC being in a finisher workspot in the `CanRagdoll` function.

i.e.; Enemy bodies will now ragdoll when killed by finishers. That's it. That's all it does.

I'm sure CDPR had good reason for this, such as preventing world-collisions from interrupting finisher animations and the like; but I hate that the result of it is enemy bodies looking like something from a 1999 shooter, turning into stiff models and clipping through world objects or floating in the air like a Doom sprite  - Especially when using my mod.

Using this mod may cause bugs, oddities or glitches. Use it at your own risk.

Again, I'm sure CDPR had good reason for doing it the way they did - I just don't like the result.

CP2077's handling of ragdolls is honestly still janky with or without this; and this mod only affects enemies killed by finishers (or stealth 'takedown' finishers in my other mod linked above).

Configuration

Known Issues

♦ Some finishers don't 'release' the body from their animation early enough, so bodies will still clip into world objects before the ragdoll physics kick in. Not easily fixed.

Requirements

♦ Cyberpunk 2077 v2. 0

♦ redscript (latest version) ( https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/1511 )

♦ red4ext (latest version) ( https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/2380 )

Installation

♦ Install manually by extracting the r6 folder to your CP2077 main folder. (Drag and drop from the .zip)

♦ Vortex installation is not supported. It might work, it might not. I don't use Vortex myself and can't help you with it.

Compatibility & Technical details

The following redscript methods are replaced:

♦ ScriptedPuppet. CanRagdoll()
