📋 About This Mod
Stealth Finishers (ZKV_Takedowns)
For CP2077 v2. 0
qufkgcPS1JA
Adds the following features
♦ Melee Weapon finishers as stealth takedowns
♦ Takedowns without grappling first - Initiate grapple OR takedown from stealth (See videos)
Configuration
Known Issues
♦ 'Frontal' finisher animations often playing when killing from behind
• This is a limitation of the animations available in the game. I probably won't be fixing this; sorry.
♦ Blunt/Non-Lethal weapons have NOT been tested yet
• As far as I've seen, non-lethal finishers work as intended but I haven't tested extensively. (Why not just use the choke in that case anyway?..)
Requirements
♦ Cyberpunk 2077 v2. 31+
• Versions from v2. 0 to v2. 2 probably work but are not supported. Don't ask for help with older versions of the game.
• New versions of CP2077 almost never break this mod - It continues working as long as CET, redscript and red4ext are updated accordingly.
♦ Cyber Engine Tweaks (latest version) ( https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/107 )
♦ redscript (latest version) ( https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/1511 )
♦ red4ext (latest version) ( https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/2380 )
Use the if you're playing an older (pre-2. 0) version of CP2077
Installation
♦ Install manually by extracting the bin and r6 folders 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:
♦ ScriptedPuppetPS. DetermineInteractionState()
The following redscript methods are wrapped/hooked:
♦ LocomotionTakedownEvents. SelectSyncedAnimationAndExecuteAction()
♦ TakedownUtils. TakedownActionNameToEnum()
♦ TakedownExecuteTakedownEvents. OnEnter()
Mods that also modify/replace the above functions/files will likely be incompatible with this mod.
♦ The developers behind Cyber Engine Tweaks & redscript, without which this mod wouldn't be possible whatsoever
