📋 About This Mod
Ragdoll Physics Helper
A dummy dum dum mod that tries to make CP77's ragdolls fall a bit better, and stops enemies from flying 6 feet backwards when you shoot them with a pistol. Pair with Ragdoll Physics Overhaul, or the rig archive from SPLAT.
Aims to be lightweight, do simple things.
Core problem is we modders do not have access to the mass of the ragdoll rigs, or the gravity applied to them.
SPLAT tries to circumvent this with a mile long feature list. This mod tries to get around the problem with smallest set of changes possible.
Neither come close to properly good looking ragdolls. But at least we can try.

[]Ragdolls fall at a believable rate instead of being all floaty and weird.[/]
[]Halves the impulse from gunfire/ranged hits so bodies don't launch backwards. Melee is left alone.[/]
[]Settings for the down force: enabled, how strong the extra downward pull is, and how long it is applied for. Defaults are what I found to look mostly ok.[/]

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 306 endorsements and over 16k downloads, so it's proven to work.
- Simple, focused fix: halves ragdoll forces, making gunfights feel more grounded.
- Lightweight and likely compatible with most setups since it's a straightforward tweak.
⚠️ Cons
- Author explicitly says it's not for Gorilla Punch enthusiasts, so if you love absurd physics, skip it.
- Last updated in April 2025, so it may not be compatible with future game patches.
For players who find vanilla ragdoll physics too over-the-top, especially when shooting enemies with pistols. If you prefer more realistic reactions over comedic flying bodies, this is for you. Skip if you enjoy the chaos of Gorilla Punch-style physics.
