=================================================================================
Make combat as thrilling and punishing as you want!
What this mod can do:
(With tons of customization options in the ini)
- Increase any damage you take, based on which body part of yours were hit (or not..)
- Receive critical hits that will:
- Do extra damage (based on where you were hit).
- Make you fall over.
- Make you act injured for some time.
- Make you bleed for some time.
- Critical head shots will make you instantly die (optional).
- Make you fall off your horse.
- Your horse can also take critical hits and fall with you.
About disabling injury animations:
If you for example disable arm injury animations and you're hit in the arm you'll get the "general" injury anim, where your character doesn't hold any body parts, only acts generally injured.. If the general injury anim is also disabled you'll not get any injury animation for that crit.
Installation:
Download CriticalHits.rar, extract it and drop the files into your Red Dead Redemption 2 game folder.
You're going to need Script Hook By Alexander Blade.
