🎯 Module Introduction

This mod replaces the **Basic Scope** of the Roller Lock Rifle with a classic **Hawken Rifle** (aka "Plains Rifle"). This is a muzzle-loading rifle from the early to mid-19th century, perfectly fitting the American frontier-era atmosphere of Red Dead Redemption 2!

✨ Core Features

  • **No script required**: The module does not require script support at all, avoiding script conflicts and stability issues.
  • **NPC Interaction**: NPCs can also use and hold this gun normally, which is perfect for taking **immersive photos** in historical scenes!
  • **Visual Optimization**: Removed short sight flickering issue, short sight will be set to invisible if you don't want to edit game files.
  • **Custom Sound Effects**: Thanks to **Oakous Pokous** for the beautiful custom gun sound effects.
  • **Compatibility**: Now compatible with LML versions <11.

🗺️ How to get it

You can find this "Plains Rifle" in the **Gun Shop** in the game, and then take it with you on your adventure on the American border.

🎮 Usage suggestions

  • Ideal for players who enjoy **historical re-enactments**, **screenshot photography** and **immersive role-playing**.
  • Since NPCs can use this weapon, you can create more vivid battle or daily scenes.
  • Remember to use the **Vulkan** API in graphics settings for the best experience.

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.
