📋 About This Mod
FINAL UPDATE HAS BEEN RELEASED, ALONGSIDE THE HEADBLEED COMPATIBLE FILE!
I have taken my time to perfect this .ini file, and i hope you all will enjoy this update!
I will continue to fix bugs, if any should occur, and i will update and/or release new versions!
MINIMALISTIC VERSION HAS JUST RELEASED!
Sorry for the delay, but we're here - my personal favorite!
This version disables features such as decreasing accuracy, adjusted NPC health, and death stages COMPLETELY, and only keeps "the good stuff" such as leg shots stumble, and less damage on leg & arm shots.
This is VERY true to vanilla, and aims to make it seemless, as if it was just a thing in the main game.
This is a personal configuration of the well known mod Ped Damage Overhaul uploaded by HughJanus, which i feel makes the mod even better!
I originally created this configuration for myself, but thought that some other people like me would enjoy it. Feel free to leave feedback or ask for configurations to your liking, and i might make seperate versions.
You can use any sort of euphoria mod with this, and it is highly recommended, but if you're not planning to, make sure to download the 'No Euphoria Installed' file, as euphoria is enabled by default with this mod.
This is the 'light' version of Ped Damage Overhaul with a bunch of tweaks, so if you want to know more, check the ini file for the changes i've made.
What to expect:
- Longer lasting and more dramatic reactions to gunshots.
- More brutal, fun and engaging combat.
- High standards for any use of euphoria mods.
- A generally more satisfying and enjoyable experience, to phycopaths like myself!
For additional info, be sure to check out the official mod Ped Damage Overhaul, or watch the ULTIMATE SHOWCASE video, which will go through the major changes.
If anything is not up to par, give me feedback in the posts section, and i will try to figure it out.
Installation
- Open the installed zip file.
- Drag the 'peddamageoverhaul.ini' into your game directory (where the rdr2.exe is located)
- Download the official Ped Damage Overhaul mod, and drag the .asi file from the your preffered version (read about them on the official Ped Damage Overhaul mod page) into your game directory (where the rdr2.exe is located)
Recommendations
- It is highly recommended to install a euphoria mod to your liking.
- I recommend using Whyem's BloodLust, at whichever level you prefer. It just adds another level of gore, and works really great with this mod!
Again, all credits go to HughJanus for creating Ped Damage Overhaul, great mod, go check
