OVERVIEW
This mod tries to make gun fights more diverse, dynamic and interesting and keep them that way throughout the game.
You will find NPCs staggering and stumbling when trying to run with hurt legs, going down without dying within seconds, still audably reacting to player behavior when down, etc.
FEATURES
Here is a quick overview of the most important features:
First off, almost all of the features and their characteristics are based on chance, so the behaviors won’t be the same every time you encounter them - which should ensure more diverse fights and keep things interesting for longer than vanilla does... that was the idea, at least :)
Almost every feature can be enabled, disabled or tweaked in the ini (more information further down the page), so this is not only a mod, but also enables you to create your own experience.
The mod is activated by default and the toggle key is F9 (both can be changed in the ini).
This mod only alters behaviors and attributes of human NPCs - animals or anything else remain untouched.
Features:
We hope that you will have as much fun with this mod as we have creating and improving it!
INSTALLATION
While in game, you can press F9 to check if the mod was loaded correctly (F9 once to disable, then F9 again to re-enable the mod).
TWEAKING
There are already a lot of features enabled and tweaked for out-of-the-box use, yet there are some features left untouched which can be enabled in he ini. That said, if you just want to disable one or more features, set their respective values to 0.
Examples:
If you want to disable a feature which is based on chance, just set the chance value to 0.
Examples:
There are also many other features that can be activated and tweaked in the ini - here are some examples:
The ini is full of values for those wanting to experiment a little.
One word of warning to tweakers: If the NPC health is set too high, headshots might not be lethal anymore, unless they hit the actual brain of the NPC (so a shot in the jaw would do more damage than other body parts, but would not be an instant kill). Actual "brain-shots" are
always one-shot-kills, no matter the health.
KNOWN "ISSUES"
(they are not real issues)

The mod is activated by default and the toggle key is F9 (both can be changed in the ini).
This mod only alters behaviors and attributes of human NPCs - animals or anything else remain untouched.
Features:
- NPCs go down in 1-5 shots (to the torso) depending on your weapon and their body armour (and are not dead).
- NPCs do more damage.
- NPCs are less accurate marksmen.
- NPC accuracy reduces when their health gets lower.
- NPCs take less damage from leg or arm shots.
- When their health decreases below a certain threshold, NPCs fall over and don’t get back up. Then they go through three different stages of dying, each with its own randomized "behavior" (movement on the ground). Eventually NPCs will die from blood loss.
- There is a bleeding feature, which makes NPCs lose health after they have been fatally injured. It operates based on chance, so NPCs don’t all bleed out in the same amount of time.
- All PCs can be disarmed.
- NPCs burn alive for a little longer when set on fire.
- NPCs have a chance of staying on the ground for a random amount of time when shot (based on their health) - so you can now knock the breath out of your opponents.
- NPCs will try to audably react to different situations (they can panic, try to calm you, beg for their lives, etc.).
- For all included behaviors the movement and pain sounds have been adjusted (and also randomized) to hopefully make your experience more interesting.
We hope that you will have as much fun with this mod as we have creating and improving it!
INSTALLATION
- Download Alexander Blade's ScriptHook: https://www.dev-c.com/gtav/scripthookv/
- Extract the zip somewhere you want.
- Go into the bin-folder and copy the Dinput8.dll and ScriptHookV.dll into your GTA V installation directory (where the exe of GTA V is).
- Download the zip file of this mod and extract it somewhere you want.
- Take all the files from the folder (PedDamageOverhaulV.asi, PedDamageOverhaulV.ini) and put them into your GTA V installation directory (where the exe of GTA V is).
- Start the game and have fun.
While in game, you can press F9 to check if the mod was loaded correctly (F9 once to disable, then F9 again to re-enable the mod).
TWEAKING
There are already a lot of features enabled and tweaked for out-of-the-box use, yet there are some features left untouched which can be enabled in he ini. That said, if you just want to disable one or more features, set their respective values to 0.
Examples:
- To turn off the bleeding feature: set BleedWhenDying to 0
- To turn off the dying state features: set DyingMovementThreshold, DyingMovementThreshold2 and DyingThreshold to 0
If you want to disable a feature which is based on chance, just set the chance value to 0.
Examples:
- To turn off the knocking the wind out of your opponents: set KnockbackChance to 0
- To turn off the chance of stumbling when shot in the leg: set StumbleChanceOneLeg and StumbleChanceBothLegs to 0
There are also many other features that can be activated and tweaked in the ini - here are some examples:
- NPCWeaponModifier (and many other damage modifiers) -> makes NPCs do more or less damage, depending on what you set it to
- BleedWhenShot -> enables a bleeding feature which triggers when an NPC gets shot (so not the usual "bleed out when under x health" but consistent bleeding which is applied after the first hit of a bullet – the bleeding chance and deducted health points can be set separately).
The ini is full of values for those wanting to experiment a little.
One word of warning to tweakers: If the NPC health is set too high, headshots might not be lethal anymore, unless they hit the actual brain of the NPC (so a shot in the jaw would do more damage than other body parts, but would not be an instant kill). Actual "brain-shots" are
always one-shot-kills, no matter the health.
KNOWN "ISSUES"
(they are not real issues)
- The game's "getting up"-animation is hard to circumvent, so in rare cases you may encounter burning NPCs getting up and falling to the ground again.
- While time is altered (e.g. when using the weapon wheel), physics and movement of NPCs in dying states (squirming, rolling on the ground, etc.) can get a little crazy, because the effects of this mod are applied using timers, which tick differently from the game clock. We are already looking for a fix, but haven’t found one that works yet.
Changelog
v1.1
- Added experimental vehicle god mode (vehicle can still be damaged a little, for immersion -> turned off by default).
- Added new panicking system, which adds a small chance of NPCs surrendering or fleeing if the player is a terminator in combat (can be configured in the ini).
- Re-implemented NPC accuracy system (now more complex and also random, can be configured in the ini).
- Added parameters to the ini for configuring the audible NPC reactions when they are in dying states.

This mod singlehandedly fixed everything wrong with RDR2 for me. This seems to be able to achieve similar results here by letting me drastically decrease enemy accuracy and mess with damage of my weapons and theirs for actual intense, realistic-feeling, but FAIR/FUN shootouts. That alone is completely worth the install. All the amazing damage and downed states for enemies and civis is just DECLICIOUS icing on the cake. Thanks so much!
@HughJanus Could you please make the paramedics take care of the lying wounded like in GTA IV?
I like this mod. I hope that u will update it <3
With this mod peds always die when you slightly touch them with a car
This is such a game changing mod, hope you keep updating this :)
Also, Really hoping for the features present in the RDR2 version if possible also in this
With the new patch I am getting everyone dying around me constantly with this enabled. Disabling the mod with the key in ini stops people dying.
Please ignore the above, I completely forgot before the update I edited the health values to try and get it closer to RDR2 version of the mod, and clearly I fucked it up. But didnt play for like a month because of the update breaking scripthook.
Amazing mod, bring a whole new level of realism to this game. I've been using this mod for both V and RDR2 for two years now but I thought it was about time to comment and rate
I know RDR2 must be a much better and advanced game to mod on, but I hope you bring some sort of update for GTA V too!
For some reason the mod isn't working for me, even If it's the only mod I have installed. Anyone know how to fix this?
I fixed it.
But I still got one problem, when I shoot the Peds that a laying down after being shot, it takes them a second or two to ragdoll when I finish them off.
And another thing, when you shoot a Ped that drops a weapon of some sort it keeps dropping multiple times, like it's supposed to drop 1 but it drops like 50.
@minibulle https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/don-t-writhe should fix that
This mod brought realism to the game. I recommend ped health in any script that you are using or this one. Set at 350 and enjoy
One hell of a mod
mod def adds new layer to the game just be ready to lose fps
Anyone know an alternative to this mod? It's so unperformant, it takes as much as 30 fps in ped-dense areas.
Doesnt work. When I hit f9 and it says enabled below it says file not found
Mod is great, but when i have this installed some of peds just ignores me, im pointing at them, im shooting arround them and they are just staying, while i unistalled this mod, everything is ok.
The game needed this, badly. I don't play RDR2 without it.
Now this may be a mod conflict, but the force push literally lifts peds off their feet and throws them in the same direction which looks really off. I managed to disable that in the ini and I'm enjoying it more now. And the dying states still work after they go down naturally.
I would like to see it updated and improved though.
