Respect Your Weapon 2.0

Why this mod?

In vanilla Cyberpunk 2077, NPCs barely react to an armed player. Brandishing a weapon left and right in front of a gang? No reaction at all. Aiming at the NCPD? Keep aiming for a decade and they’ll politely ask you to calm down. That’s bullshit in America—and totally bullshit in Night City.

What does this mod do?

[]Weapon-drawn tension — sense-active NPCs (gangs, guards, cops) build detection tension the moment your weapon is out, escalating faster when you point or aim.[/]

[]Ranged vs. melee awareness — separate visible/dangerous ranges for guns (20m/10m) vs. melee weapons (10m/5m).[/]

[]Melee block exemption — holding aim with a non-throwable melee weapon is recognized as blocking/parrying, not a hostile threat.[/]

[]Crowd panic reactions — background civilians react too: mild uneasy walk-away at range, full panic/flee up close, spreading to nearby bystanders automatically.[/]

[]Real aiming escalation — actually aiming (ADS) triggers vanilla's full "surrender/beg" reaction on your exact target.[/]

[]Crosshair fallback — even pointing at open ground near a crowd finds and reacts the nearest civilian to your aim.[/]

[]Facing-angle check — only NPCs who could plausibly see the weapon (within a configurable cone) react, avoiding "reacts from behind" immersion breaks.[/]

[]Combat grace period — armed NPCs warn you first and only attack if you don't holster in time.[/]

[]Varied tolerance per NPC — faction and rank set how long a weapon is tolerated; Scavengers, Wraiths, Barghest, MaxTac and high ranks give you far less time to holster than the Mox, Aldecaldos or low-rank grunts (suggested by B).[/]

[]Instant combat chance — at max tension an NPC rolls against their menace: dangerous, high-rank types may open fire on the spot instead of warning you (suggested by B).[/]

[]Quest NPCs protected — hostages and characters in quests, gigs and NCPD hustles keep their scripted behaviour and ignore your weapon entirely.[/]

[]Only authority reprimands — NCPD, gangs and guards tell you to holster; ordinary civilians no longer reprimand or track you, they just get scared.[/]

[]NCPD/gang holster requests — police and gang members can ask you to holster instead of instantly escalating.[/]

[]Safe-zone, scenes and combat-state exceptions — no reactions in Safe zones or while you're already in combat (configurable).[/]

[*]Fully tunable[/b
