About this mod Author’s original text

Hunt: Showdown Rival Holdout

Fresh off my workbench, a Caldwell Rival 78 cut down using unused assets from Hunt: Showdown in 12 gauge! This is a bit of a kitbash of a few different models in the game files, a few different textures, and a custom grip texture I made myself to match the aesthetic. You can't flick close this one because the barrels are too short. Pocket sized so it can fit in the smallest quickbelt slots.

For wallbang action, use flechette in the Grillhouse XL scene!

Features

  • Tweaked and custom sounds - Expect improvement updates
  • Faster break action and ejection than vanilla double barrel shotguns
  • Tweaked grip angle for comfortable aiming down sights
  • Not flickable closed, not really a feature, moreso a warning
  • Fits in the smallest quickbelt slots for a holdout pistol that packs extra punch
  • Makes you kind of feel like a pirate

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
