Special thanks to Kaai210 for the "blueprints" for facial damage via heavy hand to hand weapons.
Special thanks to Jedijosh920 for helping out with the blood spill mechanics!

The gore in Grand Theft Auto V is pretty weak even by Rockstar Games standards. The gore could of been toned down due to the limitations of the last gen consoles or because using extreme gore could of lead to pissed off parents. I, like many people didn't like how the gore looked low res or boring so I decided to make a new mod that improves the gunshot wounds, cuts, splatter, and blood soak.

You will need OpenIV to install this mod:
