Hardcore Mode V1.3

Hardcore Mode V1.3

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

  1. Place the “hardcoreMode” folder inside your “/Red Dead Redemption 2/lml/”
  2. If using mod that shares catalog_sp.ymt, choose appropriate version in “compatibilityVersions” folder
  3. Replace catalog_sp.ymt in “/Red Dead Redemption 2/lml/hardcoreMode”
  4. Delete catalog_sp.ymt provided with other mod
  5. 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.
