Rededrunk's Realistic Law Dispatch Response

This mod completely changes everything about the dispatch system, making it more seamless, dynamic, rational, and unpredictable.

RDR2 is one of the most realistic games to ever release, but it has many systems that take you out of that immersion. One of them is the law system.

This mod changes how law is dispatched (or in some cases not at all) in every single area of the game. This mod will make the game a much more dangerous but believable world.

(I am working on another standalone NPC behavior mod that will pair nicely with this one!)

This mod was made for the main game during the year of 1899. It will still work after the epilogue but the dispatched groups will be the same as 1899 which might seem weird in terms of lore based on the events of the main game. If people are interested in a 1907 version, let me know by endorsing! 1907 is here!

• []Dispatched groups are no longer just lawmen. - e.g. Valentine has limited amount of law. Stir enough trouble and the O'Driscoll will come to take you out as you are interfering with their operations in Valentine!

  []Some random groups of the region might show up to see what the commotion is all about

  []Dispatched groups are completely changed to make each area of the game feel real - See spoilers below for details, although, it might be more fun to find out in game!

  []Dispatched groups will vary in size and will be convincing

  []Dispatched groups have been fully customized from the type of horses and weapons they carry

  []Limited law enforcement

  []Chance that dispatched groups do not come at all depending on circumstances

  []No more instant pop up of lawmen after a witness sees you

  []No endless waves

  []Distances matter - Depending on the location, it might take some time for groups to arrive

  []Train Robberies system changed

  []Search Radius increased to balance out the time it takes for dispatched groups to arrive

  []Bounty hunter system completely overhauled

  []Gangs are more prominent

  • []Being wanted should be redefined for this mod. Being wanted simply means a group is aware of something going on in the area you're in. It does not specifically mean law enforcement are coming. Dispatched groups may come or not at all and will also vary. This is why it is recommended to turn Wanted HUD info off.

    []Removed the annoying witness and wanted sound. This way, it will be harder to tell if someone is running away as a witness and when a dispatched group is on their way, making it feel more immersive.

    []There is still a very subtle sound indicator of this, but it isn't as jarring as the vanilla.

    []I recommend using Ingame World Sounds Only mod for full
