📋 About This Mod
JOHN'S RDR1 HUNTING KNIFE
- UPDATE: Improved textures + 4 new versions of the mod:
- This new version of the mod is way more configurable than before. The new versions are as follows:
- John's Knife Replacer
- John's Knife Albedo
- John's Knife Hunting Knife Replacer
- John's Knife Hunting Knife Albedo
- If you are using JhnCarter's RDR1 Knife Sheath mod then read the ReadMe document, it will tell you which knife versions are compatible.
- Known issues: Knife will clip through default knife sheath. This is because John's knife is unreasonably big. Also, overlaps between default and John's equipment icons may effect weapon wheel display icons
