</>What does No Blood & Gore do?
No Blood & Gore for PAYDAY 2 is a single switch that takes the blood out of the fighting. In the normal game a hit on a cop, guard or civilian sprays blood, leaves a wound mark on the body and splats the wall behind it. A hit at close range also puts red drops on your screen. With the switch on, none of that is drawn. This covers your own bullets, melee hits and thrown weapons, and also the hits your crew, the bots and the enemies land. Dismemberment is hidden too. In PAYDAY 2 it happens when Jiro kills a Cloaker with a charged katana strike. With the switch on the body stays whole and the cutting sound isn't played. Everything else stays as it is. Hit sounds still play, damage is the same, and bullets still leave holes and sparks on walls, shields and armor plates. The mod changes only what your own game draws. Nothing different is sent to other players, so it works solo, as host and as a guest in any lobby, and the rest of the crew sees the game as usual. Turn the switch off and blood comes back with the next hit. Nothing is written to your save.
</>What is No Blood & Gore?
This PAYDAY 2 mod from ProjectMods hides the blood. With the switch on, hits on cops, guards and civilians show no blood spray, no wound mark and no splat on the wall, close hits leave your view clear, and bodies stay whole. The game has no blood setting of its own. Use the mod for a cleaner picture, for recording or streaming to a wider audience, or when someone next to you would prefer not to see it.
</>Common questions about No Blood & Gore
Does PAYDAY 2 have its own option to turn off blood?
No. The game's options have nothing for blood or gore, and its scripts never turn blood off on their own. This mod adds that as one switch in the ProjectMods launcher. You can flip it in the middle of a heist, and it takes effect from the next hit.
Do the other players in my lobby still see blood?
Yes, unless they use the mod too. It changes only what your own game draws and sends nothing different to anyone else, so the rest of the crew sees the heist as usual and nothing about your heister looks unusual to their games. That is also why it works everywhere: solo, when you host and when you join someone else's game, in public and private lobbies alike. Damage, kills and loot are not touched.
Is any blood still visible with the switch on?
A little. When an enemy hits you with a melee strike, the game still shows a small puff of blood in front of your view. The mark left under a dropped blood sample, a mission item, also stays. Blood that is part of a level, a character model, a mask or a weapon skin is artwork and is not changed. Splats that were already on the walls before you turned the switch on are not wiped at once; they fade out the way the game normally clears old marks. Everything else is covered: your own shots, melee hits and thrown weapons, and the hits your crew, the bots and the enemies land on each other.
Does the mod change hit sounds, damage or my save?
No. Hits sound the same and do the same damage, enemies react and fall as usual, and bullets still leave holes and sparks on walls, shields and armor plates. Only the blood and the dismemberment are left out, along with the cutting sound that belongs to it. Nothing is written to your save or your settings.
