Shoot it out with bandits, hunt down outlaws and walk the streets with a star.  RDR First Response (RDRFR) is an all new experience we've created specifically tailored for Red Dead Redemption which ties in seamlessly with the game, turning you into the law.

 
This first version of RDRFR puts the power of the law into your hands for the first time since Rockstar's flagship title arrived on PC.  Working in conjunction with our Patreon supporters and testers, we've built a number of core features into the mod for you to enjoy with the ability to arrest suspects, go on duty and request backup in a manner similar to LSPDFR for GTA V.  
 
Being tailor made towards RDR, though, there's a couple of key differences in RDRFR.  One of the new concepts we've introduced is for providing 'missions' or 'investigations' to the player.  Instead of pretending that police radios existed in the 20th Century, you'll now find that civilians within the world will summon your help the old fashioned way - in person, calling out loudly for the assistance of the law.  Similarly, there are other noticeable deviations throughout especially as it relates to arresting suspects and the interaction options available.  Instead of having separate key presses or buttons, we've tried to keep things as integrated with the game as possible: most of the features and actions in RDRFR are accessed or performed through the game's contextual prompts.

Description
The mod adds 141 new bandit hideouts, 50 ambush points, a bandit posse on horseback that will chase and hunt you,
random roaming bandits on foot, horse, or wagon. Hire up to 9 gunmen at saloons, and fight against zombies.
       Players can customize all features through various settings with the included Bandit_Hideouts.ini file.
Bandit Hideouts is a standalone mod, it is a highly upgraded version of all the AMJM Transport mod bandit features,
created by crossed99 and Gunter Severloh
 
                                   //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
                                             Warning - Before you install!
                                                        For those installing the mod for the first time and want to also play the story/missions.

                                                          So you understand what this mod does, it adds 141 bandit hideouts and
50 ambush points all over the map, thats everywhere and anywhere except towns (settlements).
                                                          That means there are some hideouts that will spawn at story, and mission
                                                            locations. There are also ambush points that will spawn bandits that may
                                                               interfere with story missions, or while riding to them.

                                                            There are also other bandit features like the bandit posse on horseback
                                                                     that will spawn and attack the player anywhere, anytime.
                                                      That means they may come when your in the middle of a story mission, or traveling
                                                          with another character from the story during a mission.

                                                    If you do play the story and dont like the idea of hideouts, and bandits interfering
                                                         during the story and missions. 
                                             There is a Bandit_Hideouts.ini file included in the download, it is a configuration file that will
                                   allow you to configure every feature in the mod, this includes being able to disable the mod while ingame,
                                                 or disabling certain features, hideouts, and ambush points that could interfere with the story.

                                As said everything in the mod is configurable, it can be enabled, disabled, or adjusted if it uses numbers.
                                        Do not install the mod if you are not at least in chapter 2 of the story!
                                                           Any questions or problems review the articles, or ask on the post tab!

Features
Bandit Hideouts
The Bandit Hideouts mod adds many new hideouts across the RDR2 map for the player to discover and clear out.
     Each hideout ranges in the number of bandits, but you can define in the ini of the mod how many bandits
a hideout will have, what gang will spawn there, and how many reinforcements will come if any,
even if zombies will spawn there instead of bandits.

Hideout Locations Map
The hideout locations map is a high resolution map of the RDR2 world you can download and use it as a reference to
see where all the hideouts, & ambush locations are at in the world.           
    The legend on the map will tell you what region a hideout or ambush location is in, what gang is at each hideout/ambush
point. All hideouts and ambush points are marked with a colored skull icon to represent a hideout, and an X to represent an ambush location,
both a numbered and listed in the legend accordingly.  Icons on the map will indicate their exact locations.

Ingame Blips & Icons
Hideout Locations Blip (icon)

A blip (icon) of a house with a skull inside it, will show up at the bottom left corner of your screen
 it means a hideout has spawned in and is nearby.
    If you pass by a hideout without attacking it, the map blip (icon) will disappear once your out of range of the hideout.
If you attack and clear the hideout then the blip on the map will be removed and your screen until the hideout timer is up.
        You can disable this icon if you wish through the included bandit hideouts.ini

Default spawned in hideout map blip

When a hideout spawns in, by default this icon will be showing on the map at the location of the hideout,
the player has 3 other choices of map icons they can use if they want to change it which can be done through the ini

Persistent Blip (icon)
The Persistent blip icon will show on every hideout location on the map whether your near a hideout or not,
if you clear a hideout the blip icon on the map will be removed until the spawn time for that hideout has returned.
   The persistent blip icons have their own icon type vs the one on screen. The icon can also be disabled in the ini, and
only the blip icon of a hideout will show on the map when the hideout spawns in.

Types of bandit hideouts
Each bandit hideout can be a house, camp, cabin, abandoned building, cave, mine, fort, ruin, and other places.

   Hideouts will spawn bandits in by chance when you're nearby, this means that if set in the Bandit Hideouts.ini
you set the chance to 100 then each time you come close to an area where a hideout would be then bandits
will spawn there for sure, the lower the chance then it becomes random or less.

Cleared hideout message
A small feature by default is if you cleared a hideout a message will show on the screen saying
      "You have cleared the hideout!"
you can disable this in the ini if you wish.

Earn money from clearing hideouts!
Yes you read that right, after killing all the bandits in a hideout, you will earn a random
amount of money ranging from $25 - $150
You can customize the amount you want to earn in the ini or set it to 0 to disable it.

Cleared hideout respawn
Once you clear a hideout you can set in the ini the cool down of how long before they respawn again.
If you set the respawn to 1 for example then in one hour from when you cleared the hideout bandits will spawn in again.

Hideout bandit/gang types
Each hideout will be populated with gang members for the area the hideout is in, for example:
Valentine area will have O'Driscoll members or a generic gang.
Lemoyne/ Rhodes area will have Lemoyne Raiders, and a generic gang.
Annesburg area will have Murfree gang members.
Saint Denis area may have either Nightfolk, or a generic gang.
Tall Trees area you will see the Skinner brothers gang.
New Austin area you will see the Del Lobo gang.
Grizzlies West (snow region) area will have a generic gang.
Grizzlies East (snow region) area will have a generic gang.
Guarma will have the Cuban Army and Nightfolk.

Disable individual Hideouts and Ambush points
This feature allows the player to disable any individual hideout and ambush point in the mod through the included ini
all you need to do is locate the hideout you want to disable through the downloadable map and then change the number from a 1 to a 0.
    There is a list for both hideouts and ambush points in the ini.
 
Custom Gangs in hideouts
Each hideout listed in the ini for the Disable Individual Hideouts list can either be disabled, or changed so it spawns another gang.
The gang types to choose from are the following:
// Gang Type Reference //
  Generic gang - 7
  Murfree Brood - 8
  Lemoyne Raiders - 9
  O'Driscoll Boys - 10
  Skinner Brothers - 11
  Del Lobo gang - 12
  Nightfolk -13
  Cuban Army -14
  Ku Klux Klan - 15
  Wapiti Warriors - 16
  United States Army - 17
  Laramie gang - 18
  Micah's gang - 19
  Angelo Bronte's Mob - 20
  Cornwall Goons - 21
  Braithwaites - 22
  Gray Family - 23
  Foreman Brothers - 24
  Bounty Hunters - 25                       
Pinkertons National Detective Agency - 26
Chelonians - 27
Vampires - 28
James Langton Boys - 29

Here is an example hideout in the ini that is listed in the Disable Individual Hideouts list:
ENABLE_ABANDONED_FACTORY=1
- With the setting at 1 the hideout spawns its default gang.
- With its setting at 0 the hideout is disabled and wont spawn.
- If the number is changed to a number from either 7-28 seen in the list above, then that hideout will spawn that gang based on the number. 

For example if we changed the number to say
ENABLE_ABANDONED_FACTORY=18
then the Laramies gang will spawn at that hideout instead of the default gang.
     Here is an article on how this works in more detail with a video demonstration/guide
https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/articles/435

Custom Gangs in Regions
A feature where you can define what gangs will spawn in what regions for hideouts, a list in the ini of all the regions
or areas on the map, each region has a default number, the number represents what gang will spawn in that region.
From the reference in the ini, you can change the number for the region for whatever gang you want to
spawn at the hideouts in those regions.  This feature is disabled by default.
 
Exact or random number of bandits in a hideout
The amount of bandits you can encounter in a hideout will be defined in the Bandit Hideouts.ini
there you can set the minimum and maximum numbers you will encounter, this is for all hideouts.
  If you set the number for both min/max the same you will get that exact amount, if you set the number to
exceed the default random min and max then the extra bandits will come as reinforcements.

Bandit Reinforcements
Bandits at hideouts can call in reinforcements, they will show up on horses and or on foot.
Reinforcements is set by chance in the ini, the higher the percentage (chance) then reinforcements will show.
Reinforcements also has a setting where you can define how many bandits will come, and if you only wanted
bandits on horses, or foot, or both, you also can disable reinforcements from coming in the ini.

Bandit Spawn Amount
In the included bandit hideouts.ini there is a list called spawn amount, this list will list every hideout/ambush point
and allow you to set a specific number that you want to spawn at a or each individual hideout.
This lets you customize hideouts based on how you want to play.
        Each hideout and ambush point has a default or base number of spawn points you can use this article reference
to get the base default number of each hideout:   LINK

Knowing the base number of a hideout or ambush point will tell you how many bandits can be spawned there.
For example: If you chose a hideout that had 10 bandits spawn positions that means if you set the spawn amount
to say 5 then only 5 bandits would spawn. If you set the number to say 15 then the extra 5 bandits would spawn
at the reinforcement spawn points.
    The would respawn at the reinforcement spawn points because there are only 10 available spawn points
at the hideout. The same applies to ambush points.

Bandits will chase the player
Bandits will chase you if you ride off or run away after attacking their hideout.
Bandit Ambushes
Ambushes are not dynamic they are built the same as hideouts and are at set locations.
Each ambush location can vary between 2-6 bandits that will attack you on foot if you enter an ambush location.
   If you run away on foot or on horse the bandits at the ambush location will chase after you either on foot or get on a horse.
Ambush locations are marked on the downloadable map with an X

Enable/Disable individual Ambush Points
This feature introduced in v1.18 gives the player the option to enable or disable an individual ambush location through the included ini,
all you need to do is refer to the map linked for download and decide which ambush location you want to disable for whatever reason,
you open up the ini file, locate the ambush point in the list, and just set the setting accordingly.
         Ambushes can also be customized to have a certain amount of bandits spawn using the spawn amount setting.
Bandit Posse on Horseback
As players explore the game world, they will randomly be attacked by bandits on horseback, these encounters can happen at any time.
In the Bandit Hideouts.ini you can define how often (how many ingame hrs) bandits will attack,
and a minimum and maximum number of bandits on horseback that will attack, you can disable this feature in the ini if you want to.
Random Roaming Bandits
Bandits roaming the world, they will spawn in the area you are in and will be bandit/gang members
from that area so if your in Valentine Area then you might see a small group of O'Driscolls wandering around.
These bandits may be on foot, on horseback alone, in a group, or on a wagon, or both.
    You can also set in the ini if they attack you on sight or not, and set how often they will spawn.
Hired Gunmen
Players can hire up to 9 gunmen to fight alongside them, to do so just talk to the barkeep in any saloon.
    These hired guns will assist the player in combat, making it easier to take on large groups of bandits or zombies.
You can hire up to 9 gunmen at a time.
You can hire a random gunmen with their own gear and weapons.
You can customize what they wear, and the weapons they carry.
Set how much it costs to hire a gunmen.
Hired Guns will not fight while in a town (can change this in the ini).
Story characters are also available.
You can use the 'Rest & Recover' option in the menu that will teleport your hired guns to you in case
 you got separated, they'll be cleaned and their hats and weapons will be recovered if they lost them.
They automatically go into "sneak and hold fire" mode while you're crouching / sneaking outside of combat.
If the "Allow revive" option is enabled, instead of dying they will go down into an injured state and be revived
 by crouching close to their head until the 'Help' prompt fills up (10 seconds).
 Using the 'Wait for signal' command will make them stay and don't do anything until you signal to them by whistling.
The 'Ride with me' command will prevent them from spawning in their own horse.
If there's another free horse around they'll use that, but if not they'll ride with you on your horse.

Commands menu:
You can also give commands to them through their command menu, Numpad 1-9 keys by default.

Hired Gunmen Voice Lines
When you tell your hired gunmen to stay or follow, Arthur or John will actually say out loud those commands,
 and when your crouched and you tell your gunmen to stay Arthur or John will say it in a quiet voice.
This feature can also be enabled and disabled in the ini, and is enabled by default.

The command menu has some extra commands:
 Aim at person while the menu is up: Attack target, lasso target.
 Aim at dead / hogtied person: pick up target.
 Aim at horse: put carried body on horse.
 Aim at downed hired gun: help up (it'll take them the same amount of time as for you).
 Press numpad 0 to make all hired guns stay / follow
Zombies
As if bandits weren't enough to deal with, the mod also adds zombies to the game world.
    Disabled by default, you can enable them in the Bandit Hideouts.ini

These are the options in the ini you can customize :
Spawn frequency - this is how much more or less you will see of them.
Day/night detection - this is a setting where you can set if the zombies detect you.
Zombie health - this is how much a zombie can take before you kill them.
Min/max spawn amount - this will be the group size of how many groups of zombies.
Min/max number - number of zombies that can spawn during day or night.
Min/max spawn time - how often they will spawn in seconds.
Zombies burst into flames upon dieing.
Zombie lairs - this will change all the bandit hideouts to zombie lairs,
        so instead of bandits spawning, zombies will.
Customization
All of the features in the mod can be customized by editing the Bandit Hideouts.ini file.
Each setting in the ini has a description on what it does and how to enable/disable it or adjust it.
   Open the ini file with notepad to edit it, also run it as administrator if you are being denied access.

Dive, Crawl & Gun
[Diving]
- You can dive to go prone and start crawling.
- You can aim and shoot while diving before you start ragdolling. [This is important, don't except something like Max Payne 3 shoot dodge system. You can only shoot for a little time period before you ragdoll]
- You can also enable your dead eye while diving to shoot your targets.
- Rifles, pistols and fists have their unique diving animations and you can dive to 4 directions.


I'm planning to improve this diving feature. I'll probably start by making jumps pushing player more forward.

[Crawling]- Makes you less visible and more unlikely to be noticed.- Crawling includes most of animations of the unused crawling move set.
-Included animations are:idle - idle turn left 90 degrees - idle turn right -90 degrees - idle turn left 180 degrees - idle turn right -180 degrees | walk - walk backwards - left walk start - right walk start - walk left - walk right | run - run right - run left.
- You can aim and shoot all of your guns while prone. You can also switch between your weapons and use scope of your weapon.
- If you crawl under water you'll start losing your stamina.
- You'll get up to crouch position and won't lose your stealth status.

[Crawl to Sitting]
- You can also go from prone to a sitting position and fire your weapons like that.
- Rifle and pistols have different animations for this position.

[Stealth Mode]
- Stealth noise is reduced.
- You can also go into stealth mode, instead of crouching. Takedowns look better in this mod since the player doesn't have to get up from crouching.

[General Controls]
Hold CTRL / L3 = Go Prone
Double tap Z / R3 = To enter stealth mode | Tap once to exit stealth mode
G / Hold △ / Ⓨ = Dive to prone

W+A / Hold Left Stick Diagonally Left = 90 degree turn left start.
W+D /  Hold Left Stick Diagonally Right = -90 degree turn right start.

G / RB / RT = Switch to sitting position.

[Crawl Controls]
W / Hold Left Stick Forward = Crawl
W / Hold Left Stick Right = Right turn

26th August 2025 update:

New features

- All the hacky solutions here, but now we explicitly ensure that the AnimScene specific hotkeys below can only be used while in an AnimScene, this addresses a lot of bugs that happened, yay!
- Once an AnimScene finishes, the game now wrestle control back of the camera stuff and resets PostFX, etc, ensuring its nice and stable.
- You can now toggle Freecam or the new PedSnap camera while the perspective is forced without needing to turn it off/on again to make it work.
- Added the ability to toggle a Camera (PedSnap) which selects a character in the AnimScene, showing you the view from their perspective while they look at Arthur, one small note is that because some characters are teleported around it can be a bit janky, but its fun!

---

This mod focuses on trying to do a load of cutscene magic... hopefully!

Default Keybinds (can be edited in the Ini) - These can only be toggled/used while in an AnimScene (for example start of a mission)

F1 - Forces the Cutscene camera to use the gameplay camera, go into a mission cutscene, etc and press this then it'll kick in, press it again and the next shot in the Scene will default to the camera. This'll persist in each new AnimScene so you don't need to force this each time.
F2 - Forces first person/third person camera
F3 - Removes the black bars across the entire game
F7 - When pressed you'll have a camera you can guide around the cutscene (This has additional key inputs, see below.), this requires the F1 functionality to be active. 
F9 - When perspective is active (F1), PedSnap can be used, when used this will select another character in the Scene with Arthur and attempt to get the camera to look at him (mimicking a first person view from their perspective)
F10 - Snaps it back to the forced perspective or Freecam if active.

O - Experimental feature added allows you to force a AnimScene (Cutscene), the names of these can be found in anim_0.rpf and in the AnimScenes folder, try it out (note must of these rely on the characters already existing so you may see invisible characters on most, but its fun to play around with)!
K - Toggles a PostFX visual, press it again to choose another, and keep cycling until you find one you like.
L - Removes all PostFX effects.

Cutscene freecam keybinds

WASD - Moves the camera around
Mouse - Moves the Camera around whereever you look
R - Raises the camera level
F - Lowers the camera level

RENAME RACHEL AND/OR BUELL

Simple file to be able to rename Buell and/or Rachel. Open the file with notepad or any text editor of your choice and change the "Buell" or "Rachel" string in the file to whatever name you want to change it to and save.

BUT you have to do it BEFORE the horse spawns into the world of your save file.
I know it sounds insane but it's the only way.

For example: change Buell's name and make a save before you go to meet the Veteran for the first time (so before Buell spawns for the first time).
For example: change Rachel's name and make a save before you start the epilogue (so before Rachel spawns for the first time).

If you plan to catch either of them in the wild while playing with SUHM, plan ahead and change their names beforehand.

Good thing about this is that the previous Rachel or Buell that spawned in your save file will still keep the name that they had before. So if for whatever reason you'd like a full stable of 4 Rachels with different names, you can do so, lol.





Pasted content

Tired of having to wait for that specific moment in the story to get the horse you want?
You want that one horse right now, but don't really want to spawn it with Rampage or other mods because it breaks MUH IMMERSION?
You want to see that one horse you want in the wild and tame it yourself, you've tried other mods but then you realize: what the heck is a high-born Arabian hanging out with a bunch of lowlife Tennessee Walkers?
Say no more...


To complement the mod, I've made a SUPER ULTIMATE HORSE CHART, that also includes vanilla horses locations, to help players locate any horse they want, including the new ones SUHM adds.





CHANGES / ADDITIONS / FEATURES:

GENERAL HORSE VARIETY

Every horse can be tamed/stolen in natural manners without having to wait for the next mission/chapter. Horse spawns are also 100% consistent now. In vanilla, the game would rarely mix and match some breeds, and if certain conditions are met, spawn them in the wild. This was incredibly inconsistent, making people look for ages for a specific horse because they read somewhere that someone found one in that spot but realistically, it might just not spawn for you ever in that same spot. Well, no more of that.
Every stable horse is available for purchase from the start. Don't feel like stealing a Black Arabian, want to be an exemplary feller and purchase one instead, but don't want to wait until Chapter 4? Now you can! (At their respective stables though, of course).
No more missable horses, or epilogue exclusives. Already went through Arcadia for Amateurs III and those random events where the lady needed a ride so you missed your chance of having that Silver Dapple Pinto Missouri Fox Trotter as Arthur? Say less. You can find it at any moment now. Though of course, it is a rare breed.
NPCs can be seen riding a wider variety of horses now. I can understand the average country feller can't really afford anything else than a Morgan but realistically some of them must be doing better, right?
Unique vanilla horses (White Arabian, Tiger Striped Bay Mustang, Red Chestnut Arabian, Warped Brindle Arabian and Perlino Andalusian) seemed to have a bit of an inconsistent spawn. Now they always spawn and they do so in groups, giving the player a chance to obtain one of these horses male or female. In the vanilla game, the White Arabian was always a female, for example.

NEW HORSES

Version exclusives like the Reverse Dapple Black Thoroughbred and Iron Gray Roan Ardennes (commonly known as War Horse) are no longer exclusive and can be found just like any other horse in the game.
2 of some unused horses in Story Mode have been replaced to provide you
with 2 of the (in my opinion) best looking horses in the game: the Chestnut Turkoman and the Black Overo Mustang.
5 Unused in Story Mode, Online Exclusive horses (kinda like "Beta" horses that made into Online) have been brought back and they're working just as any other horse! You can tame them, bond with them and stable them! Now, be it in the wild, in towns or throughout the entire land, you will see 5 new horse coats:
Black Snowflake Appaloosa
Gray Arabian
Golden Dun Mustang
Sable Champagne Missouri Fox Trotter
Liver Chestnut Hungarian Half-bred

TWEAKS TO THE LAW

Speaking of doing better, men of the law live off of our damn taxes, so now that's gonna be seen reflected on the damn good horses they ride (the higher your wanted level, the better horses they ride).
Originally, US Marshals would be dispatched at Wanted Level 5 in big towns like St. Denis and Blackwater. Now they will do so at Wanted Level 4 while Pinkertons will come to kill you at Level 5. Bounty thresholds have been modified as well, so they're more consistent with this change.
On that same vein, Pinkertons originally have an accuracy of 100%, effectively making them wild west aimbots, which of course would be too much if you intend to kindly ask for a test ride of one of their horses. This accuracy has been toned down to 77.5%, so they would still be better gunmen than Marshals (75%) but a bit worse than Sharpshooters (80% acc).
Bounties for horse related crimes have also been modified. Horse theft now tilts more heads from nearby witnesses, while also making nearby lawmen to promptly act accordingly. Same with horse jacking (aka kindly asking a feller to lend you their horse for world saving purposes), its bounty has been upped from $10 to $12 (to remain consistent, bounty for murder is set to $15 lol) and will call the attention of more nearby lawmen as well.

A MORE LIVELY WORLD

Towns will be a bit more active now, with more people leaving their horses parked. Originally, NPCs would never use some hitching posts, leaving them solely for the player. This is changed so every single hitching post in towns are free to use for everyone and anyone, providing a little more realism.
Speaking about realism, women did in fact ride horses far less often than men back then, but you can't really see that in the game. The women that ride horses are only unique ones, set by the story or by scripted random events. I didn't like that. So now you will be able to see women riding in towns as well! More rarely than men though, of course, and the common town girl won't go out and ride in the wilderness. Wouldn't be safe for them, would it?
You will now come across new hitching posts throughout the land with special properties and strategically placed. Found a new horse cigarette card? You will be able to see a horse of that breed hitched nearby! These special hitching posts will always have a horse of that breed hitched, so if you see one of them before the card, that will tell you a horse cig card is close by! It's not the coat you were looking for? Don't worry! Leave the area and come again later!
Some ramps have been added to Fort Wallace to provide an escape if the player dares to try a hit on the place. In case you didn't know, a Turkoman horse card can be found inside. So what would that mean now?
All the compendium entries for horses have been modified to reflect all these changes, while also providing tips on where to find the rarest breeds.



RENAME RACHEL AND BUELL

With version 1.3, I've added a file to be able to rename Buell and/or Rachel.
It's included in SUHM, but for detailed instructions you can find it as a standalone mod here.



Known "Issues" (more like inconveniences):

Black Overo Mustang's type appears blank. This is in the scripts and can't be fixed.
Chestnut Turkoman's name, coat and type are wrong (they will appear as an Arabian) when you stable the horse (its info card is fine though). Due to how I edited these horses in, this can't be modified as these strings are set for every single Arabian so if I change them, they will change for all the other Arabians as well.


INSTALLATION:
(also make sure to read the NOTES section)

Download Script Hook for RDR2 and follow the instructions.
Download Lenny's Mod Loader. Follow LML's instructions on how to install it.
Download this mod and place the "SUHM" folder (or SUHM Lite) inside the "lml" folder. The path for Steam users should be:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Red Dead Redemption 2\lml"

COMPATIBILITY PATCHES INSTALLATION:

If you play with Red Dead Offline and/or WhyEm's DLC, the mod is fully compatible with them (individually or together).
The order in which you install RD Offline, WhyEm's or SUHM does not matter, as long as the load order in the Mod Manager is correct. Make sure SUHM is last in the list (so it gets loaded last) and click on the "overwrite" check. Also don't forget to replace the files with the one of your choice in the SUHM Compatibility Patches zip (Optional Files in the Download section).

1. Install SUHM (assuming Script Hook and LML are already installed as per SUHM's installation instructions).
2. Install RD Offline, WhyEm's, or both. If you install both, follow the instructions in WhyEm's mod page. If you already had them installed before SUHM, ignore this step.
3. Install the SUHM Compatibility Patch according to your case (I used RD Offline + WhyEm's for this example).
4. Open the Mod Manager and arrange the mods as per the image below and save.



(remember to click on the save button to the left after any changes you've made on that screen so they take effect).
PD: WhyEm's DLC: Red Dead Offline Edition is the one from WhyEm's download section. That's the one that's compatible with Read Dead Offline and the one I used for
that patch.



NOTES:
If you get UNKNOWN ERROR "FFFFFF":
delete version.dll
It also comes with Lenny's Simple Trainer, but you don't need it. If any mod says they need it for Online assets, just get Online Content Unlocker instead.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


You don't need Online Content Unlocker for SUHM, but if you use it for other mods, give SUHM priority over OCU, so it replaces their files, as in the image below (mods further down the list have higher priority as their files get loaded last):


(remember to click on the save button to the left after any changes you've made on that screen so they take effect).
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


It is compatible with both Crime and Law Rebalance and Enhancement and LAW. Just give those mods higher priority, so they load after SUHM (though you might need to merge the file dispatch.meta if you want to keep SUHM's feature of lawmen riding better horses). This is of course not necessary for SUHM Lite.

This mod is incompatible with mods like Zen, Serenity, Roleplayer's Dream, etc or any other mod that modifies code.meta. Unless you know how to merge them (should really be the only main file that should conflict, also a fairly easy file to merge tbh) and you know what you're doing, please don't try to play the game with this mod and one or all of those mods installed at the same time, as it is very likely to cause issues.





Super Ultimate Horse Mod Lite version is for those players that don't really care about all the changes to the law (bounties, wanted levels, etc), about women riding horses or any other change or addition that was too tangentially related to horses. SUHM Lite uses as few files as possible while still retaining the standard SUHM essence and is more easily compatible with other mods without the need to do too much merging.


Thank you for enjoying my mod.

HARDCORE MODE
Bring the challenge of Red Dead Redemption 1's Hardcore Mode to Red Dead Redemption 2




OVERVIEW

This mod increases the difficulty and realism of Story Mode creating a tougher economy, tough combat, and increased need for scavenging. This reintroduces the features found in Red Dead Redemption - GOTY Edition's Hardcore Mode, to Red Dead Redemption 2, making Arthur's journey through The American West even more grueling than before.

KEY FEATURES

Maximum health reduced by a quarter.
Health regenerates more slowly, and after a longer delay.
Maximum deadeye reduced to RDR1's max limit.
Item and ammo limits reduced to RDR1 limits.
Store items cost more. Sell values are lowered.
Reward, drops, and looting are lowered.
Golden tonics are more rare.
XP and Honor gains are reduced.
Cores drain twice as fast.







GAMEPLAY CHANGES

Health & Survival: Arthur’s maximum health has been reduced by a quarter, comparable to NPC health. With cores draining twice as fast, and health regeneration lowered, food and health items are much more necessary for survival. XP gains for Health, Stamina, and Deadeye have been reduced, meaning you'll have to work harder to increase your health pool.

Combat Difficulty: Gunfights are much more dangerous, meaning you can become easily outnumbered and overwhelmed. Weapons such as rifles and shotguns are extremely lethal now that Arthur can't shrug shots off like before.

Economy: Most items now cost twice as much, and anything that can be sold is worth half its' vanilla value. Cosmetic items have not been altered, only those that provide gameplay bonuses. Ammo box quantities and prices, and tonic prices, have been altered to match RDR1. Much like split point ammo, high velocity and express ammunition limits are now half of the regular ammo limit.

Mission Payouts: Like in Red Dead Redemption's Hardcore Mode, mission payouts are now reduced by half. Between the more expensive economy, and rarity of ammo and loot, don't expect Arthur to be rolling in dough.

Honor: Honor gains have been reduced as well. You won't see much of a change anymore trying to greet every pedestrian on the streets of Saint Denis. You're going to have to try a lot harder to be an honorable outlaw if you want to see reduced prices in stores.

Tonics: Opened Tonics now only partially restore Health, Stamina, or Dead Eye. They are a viable option when your core levels are only three, restoring about 75%, but as your tanks increase, you're going to need stronger ones. Regular tonics now only fully restore their attributes. If you want to fortify them, you'll need a Potent or Special Tonic, whose effects last for 10 and 30 seconds, like similar items in RDR1. They're rare though, so you'll need to purchase them, or craft your own if you want the edge in tough encounters.







INSTALLATION & REQUIREMENTS

Drag the contents of "hardcoreMode.zip/hardcoreMode/" into your "/Red Dead Redemption 2/" folder.

Refer to the “Optionals” folder for “No Blips” and “DLC Disable.”



Requirements:
Lenny's Mod Loader
ScriptHook RDR2 v2
ASI Loader

NOTES

Not compatible with any mods that affect core drain, or catalog_sp.ymt.

BONUS

Optional "No Blips" modification that hides the law, and other enemies on the HUD/map.

dlcDisable.asi and modified catalog_sp.ymt disables the Special Edition content when in towns, so certain weapons are no longer free. Turns back on when outside of towns, so the Rhodes Bank Robbery mission, and Twin Rocks gang hideout still work. Also removes the Iguana Scale Trinket from the player, disabling the reduced 10% damage on horseback. The modified catalog_sp.ymt is the same from the main file, except now the Special Edition and Pre-Order requirements for the Reverse Dapple Black Thoroughbred, and War Horse, are removed, so when you're in town you can purchase them. These are high tier horses though, so they are priced accordingly.

This mod contains all of my works that aimed to improve melee combat only in one file. (Restored animations and mechanics, grapple sequences, new subdue animations, 6 brawling styles, struggle challenge, charging with knife, shoving, kicking, more environmental finishers, new brawl animations and alternatives for default ones, grapple position switching, ability to take hostage with every weapon and more)

New updates changes will be written in the "posts" section.

 My Patreon if you want to support me.

Changes:

[Stream File]
- The stream folder is essential for lasso struggle animations (loads update_0.ycds).
- Includes blunt animations from online, moonshiner drunk animations, and unarmed mounted animations.
- Also loads the online window throw animation.
- Avoid using version.dll as it may prevent some animations from loading.
It generally works fine, but let me know if you encounter major issues.

[Brawling Styles]
8 Brawling Styles all of them with their unique grapple and melee animations

• BS_PLAYER= Default animations
•BS_PLAYER_WINTER1 = Unique grapple dismiss animations that put the NPCs in intimidated position | Unique rightside counter attack animation

When you're grappled either from front or on ground, you'll get a "Block" prompt. Pressing this button play 6 unique animations for front grapples + 2 already existing bs_micah_finale animations for front and ground grapples.

- Blocking resets the reversal sequence and gives another chance to reverse the grapple.

What this mod does?

This mod allows you to start bar fights inside all of the saloons available in game, including Strawberry, Annesburg, and Emerald Ranch Saloons that you can restore with mods. This mod also allows you to perform environmental finishers on more objects inside saloon and outside of saloons to make bar brawls more like in Red Dead Online.

[Installation]
- Put BarBrawl folder into "lml" folder.
- Put BarBrawl.asi to your Red Dead Redemption 2 folder.

[More info]
- I added Strawberry, Emerald Ranch Morningstar saloons to the file. So you can install the mods that restores them and start a bar fight inside of them.
If you don't want this feature to work on certain saloons just delete them from barbrawls.meta.
- Bartenders will flee the saloon when the fight starts and leave the area.

What this mod does?

It's a simple script mod that mod makes NPCs ragdoll when you shove them just like in Grand Theft Auto IV. This effect is also applied to grapple throws and can be disabled.[Showcase]

[Features]
When the will the stumble effect get activated is carefully set for each grapple style and brawling style to not cause any problems with animations. 
- Shoving makes NPC "stumble". Every shove animations except environmental ones result in NPCs stumbling.
- Armed shove animations also result in same effect.- BS_MICAH_FINALE's grapple throw animations will also work without any problem.- You can disable grapple throw ragdoll from the Dynamic Shove & Throw.ini.
