Red Dead Redemption 2 PC Mods You Should Try

1. Lasso of Truth - More Realistic Lasso Physics

Tired of the floaty lasso physics in Red Dead Redemption 2? This mod makes the lasso behave more realistically, adding weight and gravity to the rope. Now you can hogtie your enemies with precision, just like a real cowboy.

2. Friendly Fire - Realistic Companion Aiming

This mod makes your companions much more careful about shooting near you. They will now try to avoid hitting you, even if they have to adjust their aim or delay their shots. This is a great way to reduce the risk of being accidentally shot by your own allies.

The Cinematic Camera mod makes various changes to how the camera works in Red Dead Redemption 2, including zooming in and out with the mouse wheel, holding down ALT to temporarily go into free cam, disabling head bob during cinematic camera mode, and several other changes. This gives more precise control over the camera specifically for cinematic and filmmaking uses.

5. Enhanced Night - Improved Nighttime Lighting

As the name suggests, this mod enhances the moon and stars lighting at night, increasing the brightness of ambient light sources and light that scatters in the atmosphere and fog. Darker nights can be more immersive, but this mod is good if you want to see easier at night.

6. Gunplay Rework - More Realistic Shooting

This mod makes numerous changes to the weapon handling and aiming mechanics in Red Dead Redemption 2, including improved recoil, reduced bloom, more realistic bullet drop and windage, and overall more challenging shooting.

It is essential for modders and anyone who wants to experiment with the game.

8. Improved Horses - More Realistic Horse Behavior
