RDR2 Enhanced Edition

The Mod

This a big overhaul of the game that I quietly worked on since the first iterations of Red Dead Offline (so about 4 months ago). Initially it was just "my edition" of rdoff, but I decided to finally polish it up and make it public! It includes loads of stat changes and tweaks, that make the game harder (& some would say more tedious) than vanilla. Also as a forword I want to mention that this mod is compatible with all script mods (all of my other mods, PDO, bounties exapansion, dialogue overhaul)

Before we get into the mod I wanted to state that this mod is MY take on how I enjoy the game more. This means the mod is really subjective and it is certainly not for everyone. But with that out of the way... let's get into it!

and yes... the title is heavily inspired by that one Witcher 3 mod haha

Firstly, ammo limits are greatly reduced. Heavily inspired by one of my previous mods, every ammo type has a much smaller capacity, so that every shot counts! This comes with some other tweaks to supplement it: there is no auto ammo pickup, so you have to actually search the bodies for it. Ammunition boxes in stores and in the open world also had a decrease in ammo units amount. Also express ammo has had it's price doubled (as it's the strongest type).

Another change are the much slower reload speeds, being at approximately 70-80% of the vanilla ones. This allows you to fully appreciate how beautiful they are and as obviously the vanilla speeds would be almost impossible IRL.

The reload speed change comes with modifications to weapon familiarity. With the mod installed familiarity has a much bigger impact, changing reload speed and accuracy by 20-25% instead of 10%.

Lastly the degradation rate is greatly increased, to facilitate the new ammo changes. With that I raised gun oil price, to create a bigger challenge in having all your guns in pristine condition.

Crafting

In RDR2EE you can craft regular and watered down tonics. These cost less resources then the potent and special versions, but obviously have less of an impact to the player (as in the vanilla game).

Potent and special tonics have greatly increased crafting costs. Now buying them in the shop is more viable!

Watered down tonics, are repurposed opened tonics. Personally I always thought that mechanic was under used in the game, so now you can also craft them with very little materials (sometimes even half of the actual ingredients!).

I always thought that cooked food was overpowered, as in most o
