🎯 **Make ammo look more realistic! **

I've always thought the ammo textures on the belts and holsters in Red Dead Redemption 2 looked terrible - the colors were too bright and the reds were unnaturally red, making the overall effect look artificial and cartoonish.

✨ Mod origin

At first, I tried to make a mod to remove the red part on the ammo, but the effect was still not satisfactory because the overall brightness was still too high.

Later, while browsing the NPC files, I stumbled across an ammo texture used by **cs_johnmarston** (John Marston). This texture is **100 times more realistic** than the version used by players, and the colors are much more natural!

As a result, this mod came into being - it applies the real ammunition textures used by NPCs to the player's ammunition.

📸 Screenshot module

In order to show the best effect, the following mods are used in the screenshots to enhance the visual effect:

  • John Marston Classic Stubble
  • The Classic Cowboy
  • The John Marston Restoration Project
  • Marston Equipment Retexture
💡 **Tip**: Use these character appearance mods to make your John Marston look even more perfect!

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.
