🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Gratuitous Violence adds Haemophilia, a sword that inflicts powerful bleeding attacks dealing flat and percentage max health damage over time. Its base damage is lower than weapons like the Porcupine, but the bleed compensates. A niche weapon mod for players seeking a DoT-focused melee option.

✨ Key Features

Adds Haemophilia, a sword with powerful bleeding attacks.
Bleed deals both flat and percentage max health damage over time.
Base damage is lower than other weapons like the Porcupine.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Bleed damage scales with max health, making it strong against tanky enemies.
  • Unique DoT mechanic sets it apart from standard damage-dealing weapons.
  • Decent community traction with 75 endorsements and over 2k downloads.

⚠️ Cons

  • Lower base damage means it's less effective for quick kills.
  • Last updated in 2021 — may be outdated for current game versions.
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who enjoy status-effect builds and DoT gameplay, especially against high-health enemies. If you prefer raw damage output, this sword might feel underwhelming. Skip if you want a straightforward weapon mod without gimmicks.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Pair Haemophilia with gear that boosts bleed or status effect damage to maximize its potential.
  • Test the sword on high-health enemies to see the percentage-based bleed shine.
