📋 About This Mod
This mod fixes the head gib (heads exploding on enemies) when shot in the head with a weapon that can gib. This issue only affects users playing on keyboard and mouse; this bug is due to code assuming there would be no aim assist module when playing on keyboard and mouse, rather than the module being deactivated.
