📋 About This Mod

My last major "Die Hard Edition" update where I enhanced even more details. All features that you need to know are listed in the detailed description.

Changes in comparison to "Die Hard Edition 2. 0":

1. Removed the crosshair from Joe's Adventures and Friends for Life

2. Shooting from convertibles unlocked

3. All passenger seats available for Prison Bus

4. Complete whiteout and heavy snowfall for Ch. 2-5 and Friends for Life

5. Complete whiteout during the mission "Witness" (Joe's Adventures)

6. Summer weather skies from "Old Time Reality Mod" for "Friends for Life"

7. Added new ginger detectives (redhead)

8. New Thompsons (optional, you can select it in the archive)

9. No radar for Joe's Adventures and Friends for Life (optional)

10. Removed the crosshair from the main story

Changes in comparison to the "clean game":

Changes in Chapters 2-5, 8-15:

1. Increased max health of the script enemies in all of them (except 2 enemies in Ch. 5, 3 enemies in Ch. 13, enemies at the construction site in Ch. 14 and some enemies in Ch. 15)

2. Changed some enemy weapons

3. Replaced some skins (except Ch. 2, 8, 13, the construction site in Ch. 14)

Changes in the 4 main missions in Joe's Adventures:

1. "Witness" - increased max health of all the enemies and changed some weapons

2. "Connection" - increased max health of half of the enemies and changed some weapons

3. "Supermarket" - increased max health of all the enemies

4. "Cathouse" - increased max health and changed some skins (except the construction site), changed some weapons

Changes in the traffic (Story, Joe's Adventures, Friends for Life):

1. Besides the cops, the city also patrolling SWAT and detectives (the latter don't appear on the radar)

2. Replaced Thompson M1A1 on Thompson M1928 (100 round drum mag and vertical grip)

3. Replaced Smith & Wesson M12 on Colt M1911 (8 round mag). The mag capacity of the Colt from Ch. 10 I had reduced to 15 rounds (like real models)

4. Mobsters are not scared of the cops anymore and they armed with Thompson M1928, and some of them wear bulletproof vests

5. All police officers, gangsters and bartenders have increased max health (except the bartender in Lone Star)

6. Sometimes the police patrolling the streets in armored vans (both winter and summer)

7. Cops can shoot from armored trucks

8. Real weapons names

9. Mobsters roaming Hillwood and Greenfield

10. Increased number of police officers in the city

11. New armed bartenders in Empire Diner (Remington 870), Hill of Tara (M3 Grease Gun)

12. Bartender in Drag Strip armed with M3 Grease Gun, in Diner (Greek) with Beretta M38, in Empire Diner (Sand Island) with Thompson M1928 (100 round mag)

13. New gun shop owner

14. Soldiers in winter have combat uniform and armed with Colt M1911.

15. Taxi drivers armed with Colt M1911

16. Tony Balls in Ch. 9 back in his spruce and pristine suit from JA

17. Visually fixed 100 round drum mag for Thompson M1928 (now it looks bigger than the 50 round)

18. Detectives now driving civilian vehicles and acting under deep cover

19. "Empire Bay at War" option. You have to copy the "ingame.sds" file and before that do not forget to make reserve copies

20. Taxi passengers now sit in the backseat (keep in mind that detectives also can be taxi passengers)

21. Police officers and SWAT now driving Prison Bus

22. Weapons reloading sounds like in Mafia 2: Definitive Edition

23. A bribe for crashing into a police car now 250$ and for "sorting out" with an officer 500$

24. In Ch. 10 on the hotel roof changed some enemy skins and weapons (this is the hardest part of the whole game now)

25. Changed some enemy weapons in Ch. 12

26. You can ride a car as a passenger with a detective without intention of being busted

27. Added new detective models

28. Fixed mobsters behavior in Empire Diner. Now they react to player's actions

What I haven't been capable to change:

1. two weapon icons (for Thompson M1928 100 round drum mag and Colt M1911 on 8 rounds)

2. add more passengers to police and civilian vehicles
