Speedloaders for Revolvers

🎯 Features

Added a historically accurate speedloader system for the Revolver in Red Dead Redemption 2!

  • **Significantly Reduced Reload Time**: The reload speed of swing-out revolvers (double-action revolvers in the game) and top-loading revolvers (Schofield in the game) is significantly increased by using the speed loader
  • **Real historical background**: The speed loader was invented in 1879, which perfectly fits the background of the game era.
  • **Good Compatibility**: Supports all variant firearms and dual-wield modes (except High Gambler Revolver)

🔧 How it works

The quick loader can load all 6 bullets at once, eliminating the tedious process of manual reloading one by one, allowing Arthur to reload more efficiently during gunfights.

⚠️ Compatibility Notes

**Not compatible with any mod that modifies the 'weapons.ymt' file**

  • This often includes mods that modify gun statistics, such as Maverick Weapons
  • But it does not affect trainer modules such as Rampage Trainer

⚖️ Balance options

The mod contains an optional file that reduces the reload speed of revolvers using a speedloader to half that of the original version (0.5x):

  • Provide better game balance
  • Made the reload animation look more realistic
  • The author believes that the original reload speed is too fast even without the speed loader

**Note**: You can only choose one of the two versions to install. Installing them at the same time will cause the module to become invalid.

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.
