A.R.E.P (AnymYo remastered Euphoria physics system)

🎯 Module introduction

This mod brings you a shooting and burning reaction system inspired by Max Payne 3, but "exaggerated" specifically for a western style. All shooting reactions are written from scratch and will not break the immersion of Red Dead Redemption 2.

A.R.E.P now caters to a wider range of ragdoll physics preferences by offering multiple versions. Each version focuses on a specific aspect, but all retain the core elements of creating a satisfying ragdoll physics experience - which is exactly what I was aiming for in A.R.E.P and what we're used to in older Rockstar games.

🎮 Version selection

**A.R.E.P 1.1 Major Version** 🌟

This is the main version of A.R.E.P, inspired by the ragdoll system of Max Payne 3, but adjusted for the western genre. Choose this version if you want a balanced and immersive experience with balance/crash, appropriately exaggerated shooting reactions, and satisfying Euphoria physics. A headshot may cause the enemy to fall down directly, sometimes causing a "brain not working" reaction. Fire reactions are more dramatic - NPCs either fall to the ground or run away while burning.

**ALTERNATE VERSION**

**Version A - "Less Balanced, Faster Fall"** ⚡

This version reduces Euphoria balance time and NPC stability, causing NPCs to fall to the ground significantly faster. Their weight feels heavier and they fall over immediately with a headshot. Players who like the original RDR2 Euphoria tuning but want a touch of "realism" in A.R.E.P will love this version!

**Version B - "Headshot will kill you"** 🎯

This version is similar to the main version of A.R.E.P, but the difference is that headshots will cause NPCs to fall to the ground immediately. Parameter adjustments slightly affect balance.

**Version C - "Spaghetti Western (with more staggering)"** 🤠

Many players want NPCs to be more stable and stay in balance mode longer. This version has been adjusted in many ways to give NPCs a higher chance of being staggered for a long time, especially when firing rapidly. The overall feel is more like a 1960s spaghetti western style.

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.
