Resident Evil 2 Remake is a truly amazing game. However, we can all agree that it was really annoying when zombies were not dropping dead after a headshot. I mean, we’ve seen this happening in the cut-scenes so why is it not happening in the actual game? Well thankfully, there is a mod that allows you now to headshot zombies.
Created by modder Ferrazbaixista, this mod lets you permanently kill zombies with one headshot. Thus, all you have to do is aim at their heads and shoot them. Of course that’s easier said than done.
Furthermore, all of the enemies’ weak points are now weaker than before. According to the modder, this will provide a more realistic experience.
On the other hand, though, ammo is more scarce and there aren’t a lot of healing items. Again, this change aims to provide a more realistic experience than the one featured in the vanilla version.
Naturally, we suggest using this mod in your second playthrough, and not in your first.

Have fun!

So…very easy mode?
Why?
Because aiming and shooting is easy?
Are you playing this with a gamepad?
The whole point of the game was that zombies were hard to kill and could soak up your ammo so you should be avoiding them, early weapons are supposed to be distractions, especially on Hardcore, not an erase button.
I’m not bothered at all by this 1 hit headshot stuff, this isn’t a Romero film
it’s a zombie, traditionally 1 shot to the head is all that is needed, a zombie surviving a headshot and/or needing multiple headshots is not a zombie thing.
It’s counter to lore but yea I wasn’t bothered by it either. Shooting zombies is not what RE gameplay is about or was ever meant to be about and that’s why RE4 ruined the franchise.
In vanilla you end up with plenty of ammo at the middle of the game if you know what are you doing. Now imagine how much you will have if one shot means one kill, is not hard to aim in this game, specially with a mouse.
But this mod reduces ammo and healing items to make things more balanced in addition to the instakill headshot, i’ll prefer this to the dynamic difficulty of the game
Seems people are having a lot of trouble reading more than just the headline.
Boy you sure wanna call people out, even though you’re not correct:
exactly, brubble is complaining that others do not have reading comprehension yet he is the one that lacks it. the entire article makes it seem like there is just 1 mod and yet brubble isn’t bright enough to grasp that.
He thinks John mentioned it in the article, lol. Stupid fu**.
Nope I sure didnt write that. I simply clicked the link. EASY. Well for me at least but it seems kids like yourself STILL just cant manage to figure out how to do that. Well done.
you. link. read. learn.
The difference is that I make the effort to learn what its all about hence me clicking the prominent link and noticing ….wait for it…. 2 mods! whoa! imagine that?! Right there the whole time! Damn! While you sit there in wallowing in incompetence unable to wipe yourself.
I can tell right away youre sure to go places in life. /s
Effort, try it, you might appreciate life a little more.
yes you are. maybe read articles 2 to 3 times since reading it once isn’t working for you.
It is two different mods actually. The article is vague at best/wrong. Click the link and you’ll see.
I know, i checked, heashot + less items which is the main file, and headshot only, but the article mentions scarce ammo
playing resident evil with a mouse…have you no shame?
“Naturally, we suggest using this mod in your second playthrough, and not in your first.”
Really? Why ruin this by saying that? I own it but it annoyed the crap outta me that I had to put 8 bullets in a head before a basic zombie died. So if this limits the ammo more, isn’t it balanced to not be a easy mode?
Agree, it’s good even for a 1st playthrough
The difficulty is dynamic as in RE4 AFAIK, in the sense that you will have ammo to loot depending on what you carry, or a zombie’s head explode if you only end up with a couple of shots left, etc. A first run with this mod will ruin the experience and balance the game was made in the eyes of the developers.
Roger that. Someone actually told me that just a couple of weeks ago, and my reaction was that that means the game was already ruined. If it’s dynamic, then that just means I am not winning by my own good decision making and performance. Might not be “ruined” but I mean it to say that it is spoiled for me.
And I’m not sure the modder was able to alter the dynamic ammo. probably static now.
According to a reviewer on Nexus, ” if you are way to familiar with the game like i was, i could’nt recomend it more, barely any resorces only the bare minimum, trully chalenging.”
go play resident evil 4 with unlimited ammo and 1 hit kill trainer and then come back and tell us what you think about your comment.
That’s not even the same thing as this. The one version of the mod makes the ammo scarce. But glad you told everyone that’s how you played RE4, lol. Stupid.
knowing you, you probably play games with a controller (because you have an iq equivalent of a caveman who still haven’t discovered fire).
on PC, getting headshots specially on slow moving targets like zombies is ridiculously easy. it’s same as having unlimited ammo and having a one hit kill hack on.
It’s not as easy as you think it is, even with a mouse. The zombie heads seriously move around a lot. They will drop and bob around like your mom in the backseat of a 1994 Ford Taurus, making it hard to land your load. lulz
there’s your problem, you’re not using the right tool. i usually land my load in your mother in a white g403 van and she seems quite happy with it.
Loving it, the guy who makes fun of others IQs responds with a moronic comment. It’s so damn hilarious when straight up morons like dagoat try to tell someone off. It would be adorable if it wasn’t so pathetic. I would love to meet his “Einstein” parents, cause it takes two very intelligent people to produce a idiot like dagoat. hahahaha
hahaha you probably play games on a keyboard like if this was PC gaming in the early 90s. hahahha Keep up with the times grandpa, only a stubborn fool would not use a controller for PC gaming. With my controller I tend to die less than most in FPS and I tend to be in the top 3 (1st place a lot) in every single shooter match…guess who is losing, you keyboard gamers cause you are too stubborn/stupid to admit that reaction time is much faster with a small controller than a large keyboard plus with a controller there aren’t that many mispressed keys while on the keyboard pressing the wrong key is beyond common. Try playing fighting games versus me on your keyboard while I use my arcade stick…hahaha Sorry grandpa, I am a full time PC gamer and I will never go back to ancient-@$$ keyboard gaming. Maybe if you had a higher IQ, you would realize all of this on your own, but you don’t, so you won’t.
I love it when someone thinks they are saying something clever/smart but are actually so wrong that they look like fools.
Theres two different mods. Link. Read.
Show me where John specified that there are two mods, one with and one without scarcer ammo. Hi refers to mod in the singular and never mentions the options. Look. Read.
Oh man ok dumbazz, i’ll hold you hand for you… CLICK LINK to mod site.
2 different mods…once again LINK…READ the WORDS, the symbols, READ THEM. Not sure how much easier I can make/explain it for you. Good god.
Aw, you’re playing dumb. Let’s spell it out for you, baby. The article I’m reading. Does. Not. Specify two mods.
Who follows every link in every article? You? Certainly not me.
Keep your stupidity to yourself and never criticize me or anyone else here again lest I roast you even harder.
Well chappy, the link is right there which leaves your without a box to stand on. “Stupidity” indeed.
You wrote: “Seems people are having a lot of trouble reading more than just the headline.”
But it doesn’t suggest 2 mods in the article, you have to click a link. Why do I have to click every link in every article?? That’s why I know you’re playing stupid. Alright, see yah around.
Nah, Im done with you idiot kids.
brubble, you are a jackazz. in your first message you can’t even write a proper sentence. btw, “Link. Read” does not in anyway mean click on the link and read what the site in the link says. What “Link. Read” means: read the words on the link, not visit the link. So maybe before you call anyone a dumbazz maybe your dumbazz could learn how to properly communicate, or is that too complicated for a jackazz like you?
BAHAHAHHA thats your shattering rebuttal?! HAHA oh man thats pure gold, good god man. So weak, youve got nothing. Read between the lines there champ. Link. Read. Learn. Stay in school. Link
Link…….LINK
If 1 headshot killed every zombie you’d be complaining it was too easy and not difficult enough. Sheesh just can’t please some people. I got the plat, it was easy enough for me.
Possibly, possibly not. Maybe I would prefer light action with all the story and puzzles getting more of the spotlight. The RE games – since the first one – were never really my jam, and I kinda just realized that not long ago. I really liked 7 though.
lol my thoughts exactly
Agreed
Pity they didn’t do this in the actual game instead of their own stupid mechanics.
stop being a f4g who plays games with a controller.
lol stop being a tool who plays with slow reaction time keyboards. keyboard are for typing, controllers are for gaming. Some PC gamers refuse to upgrade to better things, I wouldn’t be surprised if you still use Windows XP lol Also, good job on the hate speech, none of us are surprised that you are full of hate (dumb people tend to harbor a lot of hate.) Oh I get it, you can’t afford a controller so you pretend to hate them. I do the same thing, I can’t afford to buy an island so therefore I hate all islands. hahahaha
interesting stalker.
The way it shouldve been in the first place.
you are dumb.
GooOOOOd. And I won more ribbons than you on sports day and I did better on my math test and I always get first pick of the toys at recess. You’re last at everything fatty.
you’re lying, no one beats me in anything, specially when it comes to being beautiful and seksy.
Mmmm perhaps. It would seem a duel is in order. (Slaps with glove)
I doubt someone of your severly limited intelligence does well on math tests, oh wait, are you in one of those shortbus classes? Then yes, good job on your addition and subtraction math tests, getting a D is still passing, so excellent work!!!
wooosh… its a childs argument…get it? Ay? Get it? A child’s intellect is what Im responding to (you) …get it? You, youre the one with the childs intellect… How about now? Its not surprising just how much you kids require everything to be spelled out to the last letter before you begin to grasp hold.
Bunch of 10 year olds who are still waiting for their balls to drop, too much damn smartphone time. All rebuttals here are inane, vapid, weak, grasping, illogical. Similar to listening to my 7 year old nephew…well hes actually more intelligent than you lot.
I’ve been reading every post, only dumb person I have come across is you. It’s like you are unable to properly process information. Did you parents use you skull as a basketball when you were a baby?
yeah
I can finally play RE2R now.
These zombies are like the ones in Doom 3, which didn’t need a head to do zombie like things. I didn’t find any issue with the original, more shots equal more carnage.
Doom 3 is a joke and the reason I do not play any new Doom games. So it doesn’t matter what Doom 3 did.
Could you spare me your irrelevant rambling, who cares about your stupid opinion?
Is this including tyrant or just zombie?
Kinda ruins the experience IMO. As someone who completed the game 100% on Xbox and PC I feel like it would be a fun novelty but only if there were a lot more zombies. Being able to kill them so easily really removes a lot of the tension even if ammo is more scarce. A crucial part of survivor horror is knowing when to fight and when to avoid enemies.
this mod not working for most of the people
FINALLY, lol.
The literal only “headshot doesn’t kill” situation I ever had in REmake 2 is when I shot the first cop – the one who drops the notebook – in the head and literally blew his head up, he had no head, and then the next 3 times I came to that room, he was alive and crawling around. Like are you joking? Fix your game.
Why not just use a trainer at that point?
If you’re looking for RE4, play RE4. Not a real RE game.
