Makes Arthur or John ragdoll when shot. I added a 5-second cooldown to prevent constant knockdowns during large fights. At critical health, the cooldown is disabled. Additional Hardcore version of the mod is available
Description
I got tired of watching Arthur take point-blank shotgun blasts like they were nothing while NPCs were sent flying five feet backward. Player Ragdolls When Shot gives Arthur and John the same kind of physical reaction by forcing a natural ragdoll whenever they take firearm damage.
The standard version includes a 5-second cooldown between knockdowns, preventing groups of enemies from keeping you permanently on the ground. When your health becomes critical, the cooldown is disabled to make those final moments more dangerous.
A Hardcore version is also available with no cooldown for players who want every gunshot to be capable of knocking them down.
