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
📊 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- Last updated in 2021 — may be outdated for current game versions.
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.
- Since the mod is from 2021, check if your game version is compatible before installing.
