Realistic Blood guide: what changes, before and after, and known issues
What Realistic Blood changes in State of Decay 2: new splatters, arterial spurts, dismemberment, run-overs and how to fix the most common problems.
What changes
Blood stops looking like pink smoke: it has a more realistic crimson tone, almost black where it pools and rust-colored when it dries, with a wet shine and relief.
- Splatters: 18 different splatters and pools (the game has 3) that stay on the ground longer.
- Hits and shots: splashes 3 times denser and finer.
- Destroyed head: bigger burst, with more than twice as many droplets.
- Arterial spurt: neck, legs and abdomen bleed in pulses for up to 3 seconds (the original lasts 0.65 s).
- Dismemberment: cutting off legs or the abdomen leaves blood and splatters on the ground.
- Gore: skull pieces, flesh and guts with new textures.
- Since v1.1: blood on vehicles and more realistic run-overs (damage goes up with speed and at high speed zombies get dismembered).
Requirements
On this site it's listed as an addon for Extra Zombies, so it goes on top of that mod.
Known issues and fixes
- The blood looks orange or very light red in some places: a player reported it and it may be caused by the game's lighting in that area. Try another area or time of day.
- I have v1.0 and v1.1 at the same time: keep only v1.1 in the mod manager.
