Gunter Severloh

Description Bandit Hideouts is a standalone RDR2 mod created by crossed99 and Gunter Severloh that brings a full bandit world to life across the entire map hideouts, ambushes, roaming gangs, hired guns, posses, and more! Originally created from the bandit features of the AMJM Transport mod, Bandit Hideouts has since grown into its own independent project. As of version 1.43 it is fully standalone, all code, scripts, and features are original and self contained. So you understand what this mod does, it adds 143 bandit hideouts & 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. Any questions or problems? Review the articles tab or ask on the posts tab!
