📋 About This Mod

  • []Makes all headshots with bullets a critical hit (100% version), effectively killing regular zombies (exploding head) and severely damaging other creatures...[/]

    []Also affects limbs.[/]

    []Increases effective range of weapons to 40m.[/]

    []Three versions available: 35%, 50% and 100% crit chance (choose in Fluffy mod manager by clicking the mod title - this takes you to a submenu where you can choose a variant)[/]

Install instructions

Use with Fluffy Mod Manager. Make sure it's updated (Download button in Fluffy has a red dot if there is an update available.)

Alternate download mirror for Fluffy Mod Manager here (should be updated).

Place the archive in a path such as this:

G:\Fluffy Mod Manager\Games\RE3R\Mods

(Replace with your own path to the mod manager folder. If the RE3R\Mods folder does not exist, create it.)

RE2R version now available here.

RE9 edition now available.

Some notes:

  • []Get the version that matches your game. If you have not changed beta branch in steam preferences, then get the RT file.[/]

  • []Dogs die in 1 hit, it seems.[/]

    []Doesn't seem to affect Brad or Paleheads too much, but I think they die quicker.[/]

    []Staggers most creatures, including some versions of Nemesis.[/]

    []Makes the assault rifle VERY strong, as it should be.[/]

    []Seems to work with infinite versions of the weapons as well.[/]

    []I have not modified the rocket launcher, grenade launcher or that zapgun thing.[/]

    []May not explode the heads on zombies that are in the process of crawling through windows, getting out of cars or waking up, although they may drop dead when their animation completes. This is shown in the video with that one cop jumping out of the car. Seems to be a game engine thing.[/]

    []Glock 19 with suppressor equipped doesn't work with this mod. Without equipped suppressor, it works fine. Silencer is kind of useless and only make the Glock take up extra inventory space, so it doesn't really matter.[/]
