📋 About This Mod
-
[]🍖 Extreme Gibbing🧠: Exploding heads, flying chunks of brain, meat, bones, intestines, livers, kidneys — enemies torn apart by grenades, shotguns, or katanas.[/]
-
[]🩸 Dynamic Blood Splatter System: Built from scratch — over 70 unique splatters randomized by weapon type, direction, and hit location. Small calibers create fine sprays, Big calibers cause dense splashes, Katanas leave initial slice trails then spatters all over. Limbs chopped off bleed out with continuous trails while wounded limping enemies leave a trail of blood droplets.[/]
-
[]💀Enhanced Gore Models: More exposed ribs, brutal headshot flaps, and deeper wound detail.[/]
-
[]🩹 New Wounds: Thick bump-mapped wounds that sometimes soak in, plus unique slice wounds for sharp melee weapons(still WIP)[/]

(Better Ragdolls)
Carmageddon (its a separate mod due to a pop in bug when viewed from angles but overall i use it)
Head Popper(must have to pop heads with quickhack with gorerunner spawning giblets and blood)

⚠️!!!!NOT COMPATIBLE!!!!! with "More Blood Splatters", "2077 More Gore V3. 0", "BLOOD FX - EGGHANCED" or any other blood mod,this mod has its own splattering system it doesnt need to spawn more,and all of those just spawn more splatters or replace the few vanilla splatters.BUGS -sometimes gibs slide slowly on some sh
