RealImpact: Authentic Ragdoll Physics

🎯 Module introduction

RealImpact brings a new level of realism to Red Dead Redemption 2! This mod completely reworks the in-game ragdoll physics system to create more realistic, responsive, and immersive character behavior in interactions, falls, gunplay, and environmental collisions.

✨ Core Functions

🩸 Enhance the physical effect of ragdoll

• **Grasp Wounds**: NPCs will cover wounds (e.g. arms, chest) when hit, adding emotional depth to reactions
• **Delayed Death**: Critical damage now has staggered collapses effect, NPCs will remain standing for a moment before collapsing
• **Dynamic Environment Reaction**: NPCs will react to nearby objects (such as walls, tables or railings) before falling down
• **Improved death animation**: The transition to ragdoll state is smoother and more diverse, reducing repetitive animations

🔫 Shooting specific reactions

• **Hand/Arm Shots**: Realistic weapon drop and stagger effects
• **Leg Shot**: Guaranteed fall with slight crawling or staggering movement
• **Heart Shot**: Dramatic instant death knockout effect

💥Real explosion effect

• **Damage Scaling**: Explosions now deal true damage, with more damage in the center and diminishing effects around the edges
• **Power Adjustments**: Explosions push NPCs and objects with real force, avoiding exaggerated ragdoll behavior
• **Camera Shake**: Subtle yet impactful camera shake enhances immersion during explosions
• **Visual Range Update**: Explosion effects (such as debris and dust clouds) are visible at real distances
• **Balance Radius**: The explosion radius is scaled according to real proportions to avoid cartoonish over-extension.

🔧 Remade weapon mechanism
