🌫️ Stealth Master
In the West, gunfire is deafening, but silence is the deadliest weapon.
"Silent West" is a "Red Dead Redemption 2" mod focusing on stealth gameplay. It significantly reduces enemy alertness and silences the sound of your footsteps, allowing you to cross borders as silently as a shadow at dusk.
Never again have to experience an intense gunfight unless you initiate the conflict. This mod is designed for players who would rather disappear into the bushes than rush in with a gun drawn. Ambush quietly, hunt silently, and even leave no trace behind.
🕶️ NPC vision is completely disabled
NPCs will be completely unable to see you - even if you are standing right in front of them, day or night, rain or shine.
However, you will still be discovered if gunfire is heard or if you fail to kill the NPC immediately (with knife, gun, bow, etc.). But don't worry, they'll lose track of you in about 5 seconds.
Regular townspeople, the Sheriff, and Pinkerton detectives will all turn a blind eye to your presence. You can even take out an NPC right next to them without attracting any attention. But be careful: don't rely on the sound of gunfire for your assassination, the sound of gunfire will attract their attention and they will move towards you with curses.
⚙️ Installation instructions
This mod is built based on elements of the "Criminal Law" mod. After downloading the criminal law module, go into the `law_rebalance` folder and simply replace the `pedperception` file with the version of this module.
(It is recommended to delete the criminal information file so that the NPC's reaction to gunfire will be more realistic and the stealth experience will be more immersive)
⚠️ Notes
You are now free from the surveillance of the Sheriff and the gang. Of course, you may notice that NPCs behave a little... dull.
This is by design currently, with future plans to adjust their vision system to find a balance between realism and task fluidity. The current version sets NPC sight range to zero, making you a true ghost. Please keep this in mind.
🎬 Source of inspiration
Inspired by the recent popularity of stealth mods, soon everyone will be able to pull off those crazy stealth moves you see on YouTube.
Thanks for reading! If you find any bugs or issues, please let me know. Happy gaming!

**Special Note**: Some Sheriffs are displayed as red enemies on the minimap. They have extremely sharp vision (this problem will be fixed later). If two enemies are in close proximity, any kill will result in detection.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
