✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 562 endorsements and nearly 20k downloads
- Tiny mod that does exactly one thing: kills the auto-reload annoyance
- Easy drop-in install if you already run ScriptHookRDRDotNet
⚠️ Cons
- No updates since April 2020, so it might break with newer game patches
- Requires ScriptHookRDRDotNet, which can be a hassle to set up and may conflict with other script mods
- Only affects reload behavior when weapons are holstered—if you wanted deeper realism tweaks, this is just a small piece
For RDR2 players who hate the game auto-reloading your guns while you're just riding around or looting. If you're a realism enthusiast who already uses ScriptHookRDRDotNet mods, this is a no-brainer. Skip it if you don't bother with script mods or if you're fine with the default reload behavior.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have ScriptHookRDRDotNet installed and working before adding this mod, or the game might crash on startup.
- Place the DLL file directly into the 'scripts' folder inside your RDR2 install directory—don't put it in the root folder.
- If you're using other script mods, test this one alone first to ensure no conflicts with reload-related scripts.
