🎮 Module Features

This mod is designed to bring the ultimate survival challenge experience to Red Dead Redemption 2.

• **Severe Death Punishment**: If you die in a non-mission state, all your cores (life, stamina, eyes of death) will be **completely emptied**, allowing you to truly feel the pressure of survival.
• **Slow Recovery**: Only **Stamina Core** will recover after sleeping, other cores need to be replenished manually through food, supplies, etc., increasing the importance of resource management.
• **Adjusted Combat Balance**: The damage you receive is increased to **400%**, while the damage caused is only **120%**. The battle will be more dangerous and difficult, and every gunfight needs to be carefully planned.
• **Extremely low health recovery**: The natural life recovery rate is only **5%**, and it takes a long time or relies on items to recover after being injured, encouraging a more cautious play style.

Are you ready for a true test of western survival?
