📋 About This Mod
This modification is designed to enhance the realism of gunfights by significantly reducing the accuracy of all ped types. Most accuracy values were reduced by 50% or more. The intention is to address the issue present in the vanilla game, where even random civilians display a ridiculous ability to hit targets from long distances with perfect accuracy, using rusty firearms.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Boosts immersion by making peds less laser-accurate, which is a common complaint.
- Simple mod that does one thing well—no bloat or unnecessary changes.
- Active community with 482 endorsements shows it's trusted and works for many.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects pedestrians, not other NPCs like cops or gang members, so combat may still feel unbalanced.
- May make the game too easy if you rely on enemies missing shots.
- Compatibility risk with other gameplay mods that alter NPC accuracy or AI.
This is for players who want a more grounded, realistic experience where NPCs don't have superhuman aim. It's also great for those who find the default accuracy frustrating and want a more forgiving combat encounter.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using other gameplay overhauls, install this mod last to avoid conflicts.
- Test in a busy area to see the difference in ped behavior before starting a mission.
- Consider pairing with a damage mod to balance the reduced accuracy.
