This mod was inspired by San Andreas and GTA V. I always liked how in those games, gangs actually existed in the open world. Gangs would be hanging around in the city and despite how subtle it was, it really added to the atmosphere. But in RDR2, every gang encounter is scripted and/or is tied to missions.
With this mod, you’ll start seeing gangs living naturally across the map, chilling in town, running supplies, fighting other factions or causing random trouble. But it’s not just gangs, it’s other groups as well such as Cornwall’s men, the U.S. Army, etc. For a full list, see below.
This mod was made for the main game during the year of 1899. It will still work after the epilogue but the factions are from 1899 which might seem weird in terms of lore. Some groups no longer exist by 1907, and this mod does not touch New Austin since you can only really set foot there after the main game.
I built a full relationship system between factions, so they actually react to each other and to the player. Some groups get along, some hate each other on sight, and those relationships can shift depending on area control. Each faction holds parts of the map based on their lore, but there are contested areas where some factions might fight one another.
This mod is disabled during main missions. It will still run during open world missions, however.
