Gunslinger mod. Good for first playthrough?

[GrocKing]

I've played the previous 2 games more or less vanilla with small addons like no headbob , small crosshair , hud tweaks etc.

Now i'm planning on starting CoP and as i did with clear sky i'm checking out the mods and gunslinger caught my eye with it's animations , graphics and so on.

But looking at its description it seems to change certain gameplay stuff from vanilla. The thing is mod page is not really giving a big explanation on what did they change. So what exactly it changes? And is it good for first playthrough?

The Gunslinger mod significantly alters the gameplay, so I wouldn't recommend it for a first playthrough. The mod aims to provide an immersive experience by not only adding a variety of fancy-looking weapons but also featuring new animations for consumables, reloading, and different ways weapons can jam, each with its unique animation. Additionally, the mod introduces a thirst mechanic and makes Controllers much more dangerous. For instance, if you expose yourself to psy attacks for too long, the Controller will be able to force Degtyarev to kill himself with his own weapon by controlling his movements.

Already started it with this mod and i can say bruers are definitely more powerful. I just thought since the previous 2 games were more or less the same and this one looked the same from the gameplay videos aswell i thought i might aswell MODernize it.

Personally having fun so far.

My first CoP run was Gunslinger and I absolutely loved it.

Yep. Absolutely loving it too. Just running around and doing all the side quests etc. I'm having crashes here and there but other than that the mod is a blast.

Still trying to figure out how to deal with a controller on open ground when the animation starts though. It's easy to deal with them if you spot them first and pop a psy blocker pill but man if they get you off guard and you are too close it seems like you're done. It's kinda nice that mutants are actually scary now.

I believe you would appreciate the mod more if your first experience was vanilla.

I played the last 2 games fairly vanilla. Just adding a subtitles mod and removing headbob on first game and removing headbob , weapon sway and adding back pistol iron sights on second game.

Like i said , third looked quite the same and second one didn't had too many changes from the first one so i said why not? And i'm glad i did it because let's be real i wouldn't really replay this game and hop on to anomaly/gamma instead.

Not saying vanilla trilogy is unenjoyable since i quite enjoyed the first one and CS had bad sides because of all the nade spam and bad economy but i still enjoyed it. It's just that they're pretty janky and dated (honestly the whole gun accuracy thing was nuts just seeing bullets whizz around enemies even with AS VAL)

I just started playing with it... while it does change gameplay somewhat, all the changes are positive / QoL / more immersive and pretty minor. Plus the installation is very user-friendly, there is an "update" exe after you install the mod and clicking on the EXE file updates you to the 2024 version of the MOD AND allows you to add a couple of other popular mods (weather, animation, etc) to this mod without creating any conflict AND these mods also change pretty much nothing story-wise as far as I can tell.

SO, from my limited experience, I am going to say that if you are like me and only have time to play most games once, you should almost definitely play CoP with the Gunslinger mode installed.

I did play it. Twice. %100'ed it even. 0 regrets honestly it just makes the game 1000x times better.

I still have a folder in my PC that says "use these if you're gonna replay C.O.P." lol. Only downside of the mod i'd say is that they didn't change the mouse sensitivity value the original game had (handling stat affects it) it felt a bit off so i had to modify the values for that one myself. Other than that %100 recommended it modernizes the game without really touching much of it. Only negative thing is that you can't spam bandages and medkits anymore since it has an animation but you quickly get used to it and it makes it more immersive.

I agree 100%, I am about 1/2 through my first playthrough with this MOD and I am so happy with it... the fact that it includes an install program AND an update checker that downloads the latest version of both this and other compatible vanilla-enchancing (not changing) mods is just the cherry on top. Very professionally done.

Would someone mind linking me this mod? Everyone seems to know about it but the only one I'm finding (https://www.moddb.com/mods/gunslinger-mod) claims to be a beta with no English and trips Firefox's antivirus. I must be blind.

Join the C-Conciounsness discord (you can google it, it'll show pretty easily) and check the modlist they have

The link is correct. The installer itself has english language pack but it's unofficial.

Here is an installation guide i've used :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oDTHI_hKEY

[UnKn0wN]

the installer on the moddb page is outdated.
you can find the latest version (Protecta) on the yt channel of the modder.
here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJEBdilioU4

the installer then asks you what you want to install, gunslinger only or with the other optional mods, English translation included.

it´s very easy and userfriendly compared to most other stalker mods.

The mod has built in updater. If you check the guide i've posted it actually involves that step. So no moddbb page is not outdated.
