✨ Mod functionality (current version 1.2)

🔥 **Core changes:**

  • **One Hit Kill:** Anyone (including the player) will die after one or two shots to the torso.
  • **Player health reduced:** Players themselves also become more vulnerable.
  • **PRECISION VITAL STRIKES:** A head or vital shot from long range with **any weapon** (not just sniper rifles) can cause fatal damage.
  • **Damage Adjustments:** The damage of revolvers, pistols and some carbines has been increased.

🎮 **Combat experience optimization:**

  • **Quick Aim:** Some revolvers and carbines have faster aiming speed.
  • **Removed Aim Zoom:** Provides a purer shooting feel.
  • **Enemy Balance:** All Enforcers have the same health as normal NPCs. The shooting accuracy of mounted enemies is reduced.
  • **Teammate Protection:** Your companions are temporarily invincible during gun battles, giving you more tactical space (Note: Long periods of inactivity may cause the script to accidentally kill teammates, this issue has yet to be fixed).

🎮 Recommended matching modules

In order to obtain the most extreme real western gunfight experience, it is strongly recommended to use the following modules:

  • **SoftCores** - Disables health regeneration and pickup highlight effects in combat.
  • **Crime and Law Rebalance** - Makes law enforcers behave more realistically.
  • **No Bullet Trail** - Removes bullet trails.
  • **No Hitmarkers (no red dot sight version)** - Removed hit prompts.
  • **Realistic Combat Overhaul (Only enable the "NPC no longer gets up" feature)** - Makes combat more deadly.
  • **Lower Ammo Limit** - Limit the amount of ammunition you can carry, say goodbye to the "mobile arsenal".
  • **Injuries Overhaul** - Complete injury system overhaul (optional disabling of head injuries).
  • **No Auto Ammo Pickup** - Disables automatic ammo pickup.
  • **No Automatic Reload Ever (BETA)** - Disables automatic reloading.
  • **No Dead Eye Effects** - Removed the Dead Eye effects.
  • **Longer Days** - Extends the daylight hours in the game.
  • **Guiding Wind** - Replace map markers with wind direction guidance.
  • **Hide Minimap** - Hide the minimap for immersive exploration.
💡 **TIP:** You can also look for mods that allow you to "hire a gun" to help balance the difficulty of combat (if one exists).

**Have fun in the Wild West! 🤠**

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.
