Adjustments to Kiddo’s health, stamina and death eyes

Higher difficulty. Medicines are now vital to survival. Vigorous exercise consumes more energy. A more cinematic Dead Eye effect.

Kiddo's Health Stamina and Deadeye

🎯Mod Overview

In the original game, the health and stamina systems had an 'arcade-like' feel. They regenerate too quickly, rendering various medicines and recovery items almost redundant. Arthur can take 12 bullets, or sprint uphill infinitely, and then fully recover within 30 seconds. Dead Eye's slow-motion effect is also so powerful that players can almost pause time.

This mod aims to increase player vulnerability without destroying the original design, bringing a more realistic and imminent sense of danger. Exhaustion and death were now real possibilities.

❤️ Health and physical strength adjustment

**HP** has been reduced by 20%. Recovery is extremely slow both in and out of combat, for both players and horses. Every health point lost counts, and medicines are now vital to survival, adding a sense of urgency to the gunfights.

💡 Without medicine, it takes about 20 minutes of game time to restore the entire life circle from scratch

**Stamina** is moderately expended during strenuous activities such as jogging, climbing, or crouch running. You need to walk at a slower pace to begin recovery. Recovery is slower, conveying the feeling that long-term endurance requires time to recover.

🏃 Arthur is no longer the invincible athlete, you may find yourself finally needing to use cocaine gum

**Horse Stamina** is now slightly depleted while cantering/trotting. You need to slow down to an easy trot to begin recovery, which is slower.

🐎 This forces players to pay more attention when traveling long distances and dangerous escapes, you may find yourself finally needing to use horse doping

🎮 Role adjustment

**John** can now swim completely normally, but his stamina is drained faster than Arthur's, representing his inferior swimming skills. His hit points are now equal to Arthur's.

**Legendary Animals** health reduced from 850 to 450, making them less extreme bullet sponges.

📊 The health value of ordinary NPC is 70

**Injury Threshold** has been slightly increased, allowing for more appropriate and realistic injury animations.

🎬 Enemies will now act like they are nursing a shot in the shoulder

🔫 Death Eye System

**Death Eyes** Slow motion speed increased from 15% to 30%.

🎥 This small change brings greater challenges and a more cinematic action experience

**Eagle Eye** Slow motion speed increased from 40% to 70%.

🦅 This prevents players from almost 'pausing' the hunting experience and interrupting the flow of the game. For example, hunting small birds now requires faster decision-making and more precise execution
