Weapon damage has been fully adjusted to reflect 'realistic' values, and armor has been redesigned to provide a more immersive combat experience

Realish Weapons and Armor

🎯 **Comprehensively improve the authenticity of weapons and armor**

✨ Core Features

This mod completely reworks the damage values ​​of all weapons to match KCD2's **100 HP** system, and completely redesigns the armor defense values ​​to reflect a more realistic defense ratio.

⚔️ **Combat system optimization:**

  • Open helmets provide minimal facial protection
  • Headshot damage increased from normal 1.5 times to **2.75 times**
  • Limb damage reduced from 0.7x to **0.5x**

🛡️ Damage types and defense mechanisms

**Damage Type:**

  • **Stab**, **Slash**, and **Smash** are no longer exclusive to any weapon or projectile type
  • Damage type is applied based on the weapon's visual model or projectile purpose
  • Weapons of the same model, regardless of name, will have similar or identical stats

🏹 **Ranged Weapon Balance:**

  • **Crossbow** and **Bow** now deal comparable damage, more in line with realism than game balance
  • **Bullets** are now split damage, causing both **Stab** and **Punch**, giving metal armor a moderate defensive effect against **Firearms**

🛡️ Armor type classification

| Type | Description |

|------|------|

| **Plate Armor** | Rigid tempered steel |

| **Composite Armor** | A combination of plate armor and laminated armor or plate armor |

| **Laminated Armor** | Steel or iron, riveted to laminated leather |

| **Hailmail** | Steel or iron riveted rings |

| **Fabric Armor** | Layered linen and/or wool |

| **Plate Armor** | Steel or iron plates, riveted into fabric |

⚔️ Damage type and damage reduction effect

  • **Stab:** Plate armor and composite armor have strong defense, plate armor and laminated armor have medium defense, and mail or fabric armor have weak defense.
  • **Chop:** Plate armor, composite armor, plate armor, and mail armor have strong defense, laminated armor has medium defense, and fabric armor has the weakest defense.
  • **Heavy hit:** Plate armor and composite armor have the strongest defense, plate armor and laminated armor have medium defense, and fabric armor and mail armor have weak defense.

🎯 Defense rating system

Defense rating is directly related to the timing window of **Perfect Block** and **Master Counterattack**:

  • **50-100 Defense:** Mace, Axe, Club, Hammer, Pickaxe
  • **100-150 Defense:** Armed Sword, Hunting Sword, Scimitar, Saber
  • **150-200 Defense:** Long Sword
  • **200-250 Defense:** Polearm

🔧 Compatibility and Installation

**co …

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
