📋 About This Mod
Overview
DaggerBlood enhances combat with damage driven blood effects, persistent pools, dripping ceilings, and brutal overkill explosions.
Higher damage results in more intense visual feedback.
Supports SD and HD textures. HD pairs especially well with DREAM.
The mod relies on Vanilla Combat Event Handler to react to hits. Combat overhauls that do not use it will most likely not function correctly.
