It helps, though you're still plenty human while wearing one. The mod gives you a hotkey for putting on and taking off a helmet, and if you try this mod I recommend wearing one at all times, even when you're just sitting on the couch. Riding around on a motorcycle is tantamount to a death sentence. Diving out of a moving car, which is how I usually exit all my cars in GTA 5, rips my pathetic body to shreds and leaves me limping and staggering around. Ram something a bit too hard with your car and you'll take damage that will require a paramedic. I experiment a little more, trying to imagine actually playing the full game as a normal human who can't absorb dozens of bullet wounds provided he can crouch behind cover and recuperate for a few seconds. Stupid human body!Īnother gunfight goes just as badly, with all sorts of internal bleeding, through-and-through bullet wounds, subdural hematoma, a chance of blacking out, and the finisher, a small caliber bullet lodged in my neck. So, basically, I've been shot and parts of me are ripping me apart inside. Next, I receive a spalling injury, which I have to look up to discover is the fragmentation of a target caused by the impact of a projectile. Yep, you don't even need to be shot directly to be injured. Another bullet arrived, this time a grazing injury from the fragment of a ricochet, causing light bleeding. Then a host of notifications appeared: damaged arms, difficulty aiming, sickness from damaged guts and stomach, another severed artery, imminent death. I took a round in the shoulder, which gave me more (though moderate) bleeding. In a fairly routine shootout with the fuzz, I was struck by one bullet, which punctured my stomach, a 'potentially fatal injury.' That dropped me to 70% health with heavy internal bleeding that lowered me to 58% a few seconds later. The police showed up and began putting holes in my newly fragile body. Since fisticuffs were so deadly, I wanted to see how bad being shot was, so the next time I respawned I started more than just a fistfight. And that's just punching! Granted, I didn't configure the mod so the same damage effects happen to NPCs-you can, though at the risk of impairing the game's performance, and GTA 5, quite honestly, has always and continues to run like dogshit on my PC, so I opted to only point the mod at myself.
