Resident Evil 2: These are the four most popular mods

Resident Evil 2 gets even better with mods. The popular zombie remake can be easily modded due to the new engine, which leads to all kinds of improvements. We have selected the four most popular modifications for you.

Classic UI: Resident-Evil-Mod for a nostalgic user interface

If the Resident Evil 2 remake is a bit too modern for you, you can change the user interface with the Mod Classic UI from XxCRAZYPOTATOxX. This is inspired by the original from 1998 and is aimed primarily at nostalgics. According to the modders, the mod "restored" a large part of the old user interface. The changes are:

• The characters' health indicator was modeled on the original. It is a bit shorter and more pixelated, which immediately reminds of the 90s.
• The memory images have also been adapted to the 1998 original. So these are the well-known pictures of Leon and Claire.
• The color of the Resident Evil 2 logo has been colored completely red. The current version uses a red R and E in combination with white letters.
• The entire user interface was designed with the blue boxes. These are now a bit sharper and the current images of the items are used. The mod does not forego clarity.

First Person Mod: For the very brave

If you want to experience Resident Evil 2 in the sense of a modern horror FPS, you should install The Care Taker's First Person Mod, which adjusts the camera so that you can experience the entire game from a first-person perspective. With a few exceptions, the modification works extremely well and provides a completely different feel. Mr. X in particular scares the player's fear.

• The appropriate framework for the mod is already included in the files. These must be installed according to the modder's instructions so that the first person perspective can be activated.
• The mod is not compatible with DirectX 12.

Re Immersion: Reshade mod for Resident Evil 2

If you want to prettify Resident Evil 2 a bit, the Reshade-Mod Re Immersion by jimmyandresrg is the perfect choice. The list of changes is quite large and the modder attaches great importance to a natural representation of the colors and light elements. The following list gives you an overview of the adjustments made by Re Immersion:

• Improved HDR (True HDR).
• Improved shadows and dark effects (True Dark).
• Improved edge sharpness in the foreground.
• Blue tones have been enhanced. All colors have also been improved.
• More details in the game become visible. Due to the additional improvement of the lighting elements and effects, these come into their own better.
• The depth of field has been noticeably adjusted.
• Re immersion increases the amount of volumetric fog.

VHS Mod for Resident Evil 2

The VHS Mod by Modder nartikaMODS presents itself simply and effectively. True to the name, it is a mod that adds VHS filters to the game. These provide a completely different character for the game, which creates a bit more horror, especially in heated situations.

• In addition to the files, the current version of Reshade is required to install the mod.
• The mod can be activated with the "3" on the number pad. It is deactivated in the same way.
