📋 About This Mod
- A completely fresh dispatch system, written literally from scratch, that is designed to be challenging but also a lot of fun.
- Below 3 Stars: Only a few changes to these wanted levels. This allows for partial compatibility with other dispatch mods.
- 3 Stars and Beyond: Every wanted level has 2 phrases. At the beginning, special K9 are sent to support local police. Then, local SWAT and snipers are dispatched to handle the increasing threat. Once the situation gets more critical, federal agencies, merryweather, and NOOSE are deployed. Ultimately, the National Guard is called in and are assisted by heavy armor, attack helicopters, and even JETS.
- Fine-tuned loadouts based on wanted level and unit.
- In the night, units will use flashlights on their guns and are more likely to use a suppressor.
- Law enforcement is more likely to utilize shotguns and other CQB weapons when a suspect is in an interior.
- Based on the weapon class, units will have differing armor, health, and behavior.
- Realistic armor and health. If you have armor-piercing rounds, you can easily kill many of the units, even the juggernaut units.
- Improved chase, combat, and search AI compared to the base game and can be further improved. But, you can further enhance AI through the use of other mods like PEV.
- All units are all able to arrest the player at all wanted levels if the player is being non-hostile.
- Special AI for K9s, snipers, helicopters, juggernauts, and jets which make them a lot smarter and harder to deal with.
- The last known position or LKP is used for searching and spawning to emulate real life.
- Custom spawn & despawn logic for optimal searches and chases.
- Ocean, mountain, and air response has been fine-tuned drastically so the player cannot escape without resistance.
- The spawning system, police AI, and many other optimizations have also been made depending on if the player is in an armored vehicle or is using explosive weapondary.
- Gang or group wanted severity is incorporated. Basically, crimes committed by members of your group influence your wanted level. This is a script-only feature that cannot be added through the game files.
- Killing firefighters, EMS, and security guards influences wanted levels similar to that of police officers.
- Depending on the scenario, vehicles have upgrades such as armor, brakes, engine, and transmission.
- Robust Jurisdiction system has been added to emulate Los Santos’s different agencies.
- Uses only a simple . Ini file that allows you to customize the many features of the mod, including custom ped and vehicle models, weapons, difficulty, and so much more.
There are countless other adjustments and changes which help to make the mod more enjoyable and realistic.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with the vehicle and ped mods
- RDE, PEV, DOV, VE:DGA, Dispatchworks, and BetterChases+ will work
- Any mod that changes ped money is incompatible with this mod.
- Missions may not work as well, but the mod should work regardless.
