Maniac-Butcher Mod V1.0

Maniac Butcher Mod is a lightweight corpse interaction mod for Red Dead Redemption 2.

Its main purpose is to let the player interact with dead or unconscious human NPCs in a simple, immersive way without adding heavy systems or complicated menus. While aiming at a valid target, the mod shows standard in-game hold prompts that let you revive the NPC or cut their hair.

Installation instructions
1. Make sure ScriptHookRDR2 and an ASI Loader are already installed in your Red Dead Redemption 2 game folder.
2. Copy `ManiacButcher.asi` into the main Red Dead Redemption 2 root folder.
3. Launch the game.

Example install path:
`…\Red Dead Redemption 2\ManiacButcher.asi`

Main features
– Standard RDR2-style hold prompts while aiming at a valid target
– Hold **G** to revive a dead or unconscious human NPC
– Hold **H** to cut hair from a dead or unconscious human NPC
– Hair cutting requires a knife to be equipped
– Recommended companion mod: Tie Your Lasso. It pairs especially well with Maniac Butcher Mod and makes it easier and more satisfying to handle and position NPCs before using the interaction prompts.
– Controllers support included.

Requirements
– Red Dead Redemption 2
– ScriptHookRDR2
– ASI Loader

Optional:
– Tie Your Lasso, if you want a better setup for handling and positioning NPCs before using this mod’s interactions

Notes:

Shout outs
