Global Mod 2.0

[Comrade Fedayi]

For the full experience of the Saboteur as to what could have been, go on to ModNexus and install Global Mod 2.0. It restores a bunch of cut content such as unused vehicles and weapons, several scrapped missions, cut music, includes small changes to existing missions for the sake of better challenge and immersion, adds new environmental details and scenery, and allows the player to jog around while disguised without drawing suspicion as long as they don't sprint. This also allows you to bypass restricted checkpoints while disguised as a soldier even in tanks, something that you couldn't do before in the vanilla game. This makes the disguise system even more useful. The mod even adds an unused knife takedown that was part of a planned DLC (the developer on his channel explains in one of his videos on how to access it). I tried it myself and it made the game feel so much more complete and makes me sad to know what we missed out on.

The developer behind the mod is still updating it with more additions planned soon. Feel free to try it and give him your support.

Thanks for sharing this. Do I need to completely restart the game if I apply this mod? Usually you have to.

Yes. Old saves won't work once the mod is installed, so you will have to start a new game.

Personally it did suck at first, but it became worth it when I saw how much had been added and how it changed a few missions

Honestly, as of right now, its as close as it gets to a definitive version of The Saboteur, especially when we are reminded that the game's modding capabilities as well as the modding community itself are still in their infancy, and that EA holds the rights and does not seem willing to allow for a remake or remaster anytime soon.

The mod developer mentioned that some features he planned had to be cut because the amount of additional lua scripts added caused the game to become unstable and crash constantly. One of these was a rebel base in the final mission where the player starts out before driving back to Paris to fight Deirker. This rebel base near them would have a bunch of rebels, ammo, weapons, fortifications, and rebel vehicles parked. Now it is scaled down to a few rebels and a couple vehicles. Better than nothing I guess, but hey, we are making new discoveries with each milestone.

I'm honestly surprised it was announced. The only DLC I remember being explicitly mentioned before release was the Loraine Castle bonus missions set after the main story, which ended up also getting cut due to time constraints and resulted in that whole castle being left unused despite it having Nazi presence throughout the game.

Version 2.1 is out! The update can be installed for those that already have Global Mod 2.0 installed, and saved game data from 2.0 will carry over into 2.1 just fine.


Edit: Why the hell does the exclamation point look like this? --> !
Some kind of bug?

You can run the exe on your Windows machine, pointed at an empty directory, to extract the files. Then you can just copy those to the install folder on the Steam Deck.

No idea why it's not distributed as the raw files themselves, the exe doesn't actually do anything special other than extracting everything (and optionally backing up the original files).
