Special Thanks to
- LMS for Lenny’s Mod Loader
- Senexis for the catalog_sp.ymt and automating the price conversions
- Everyone else from the Mod RDR Discord
Requirements
Installation
- Place the “hardcoreMode” folder inside your “/Red Dead Redemption 2/lml/”
- If using mod that shares catalog_sp.ymt, choose appropriate version in “compatibilityVersions” folder
- Replace catalog_sp.ymt in “/Red Dead Redemption 2/lml/hardcoreMode”
- Delete catalog_sp.ymt provided with other mod
- If conflicting mod contains an “install.xml,” edit it (not the one from hardcoreMode), and remove:
<FileReplacement>
<GamePath>platform:/data/itemdatabase/catalog_sp.ymt</GamePath>
<FilePath>catalog_sp.ymt</FilePath>
</FileReplacement>
Notes
- Not compatible with other modifications that replace catalog_sp.ymt unless compatibility file is included. If there’s a compatibility file you’d like, let me know.
- Recommend using Josefig’s great script that also reduces mission payouts!
Features
Attempt at recreating the “Hardcore Difficulty” from Red Dead Redemption – GOTY Edition
- Maximum health is reduced by half, taking in consideration health levels
- Health regenerates more slowly, and after a longer delay
- All purchasables cost more, and all items sell for less
- Reward/drops/looting amounts are lowered/more rare
- Starting a new game is recommended. Otherwise, what’s the point?
I have only done minimal testing with the mod so far. Any issues please let me know and I will look into them.
Optionals
No Blips
- Based on Red Dead Online’s Hardcore Series missions. Enemy blips are removed from the radar without affecting any other radar markers.
Reduced Ammo Purchase Quantity
- Reduces the amount of ammo in ammo boxes purchased from shops to match the amount inside “unopened ammo boxes” found in the world.
