Description

Super Brutal GloryStrike is a pure declaration mod. This mod fixes the long-standing issue where executions in the game feel too soft, enemies fly off like ragdolls when executed, and the overall impact is completely lacking. And This mod also makes the enemy's daze mechanic more similar to that of DOOM: Eternal, thereby giving players more opportunities to execute demons. It does not modify the executable and does not require a DLL. Every Glory Strike now rips through far more of the target: limbs, legs, wounds, weak-point chunks, and destructible flesh pieces all activate at once.

with this mod,you can turn this:

a soft gloryStrike,into this:

a  SLAYER WORTHY GLORYSTRIKE!

If that isn't enough,now you can literally rip the titan to pieces:

Main features

- Generic Glory Strike executions use all-limb, all-gore behavior: up to 8 limbs removed, 64-128 wounds, and 8-32 weak-point gibs.

- Flail executions keep the same flesh explosion but remove 0 limbs, so the target is carved open without limbs flying off.

- Mace and gauntlet executions keep the vanilla shatter/death flow and add 10-20 wounds plus 4-10 weak-point gibs on top of the original full-body gibs.

- Sync-kill damage is raised from 9999 to 100000 so high-threshold gorewounds reliably fire during Glory Strike.

- Long cinematic Vagary executions are disabled; dazed Vagary now uses a fast, loose-validated quick Glory Strike.

- All six Vagary legs can sever in one execution: hit-group and direction restrictions are removed, and mace/gauntlet behavior switches to a 32-limb Vagary override.

- Rear/butt and abdomen chunks are body-triggered and gated to execution-level damage, so they burst into destructible flesh during the kill instead of staying attached or popping from normal guns.

- Pinky shoulder, face, head, and neck chunks get relaxed execution-specific variants, so they burst during Glory Strike.

- Pinky severed limbs are body-triggered with a high execution-only threshold.

- Normal weapons keep the original hit-group and direction limits, so enemies stay intact until you execute them.

- All modern AI gorewound damage thresholds and frame-damage requirements are multiplied by 1. 7.

- Glory Strike damage still clears every gate, producing the full dismemberment and flesh-drop effect.

- The result is a cleaner look: enemies take normal damage without prematurely losing chunks, and executions become the gore centerpiece.

- Heavy enemies (Acolyte, Arachnotron, Battleknight, Buzzsaw, Hellknight, Imp Stalker, Mancubus, Pinky Rider, Revenant, Whiplash) are guaranteed to daze at 8% health and take only 60% damage while dazed.

- Superheavy enemies (Agaddon Hunter, Archvile, Baron, Komodo, Pain Elemental, Tyrant, Vagary, Wizard) are guaranteed to daze at 5% health with per-enemy daze damage scaling from 25% to 50%.

- The superheavy daze declarations are included in the mod, so this package is fully self-contained.
