Red Faction: Guerrilla was one of the earliest to feature such a crazy level of sheer destruction in a video game.
Anything and everything in the game can be hammered into oblivion. RFG kept players wanting to swing that sledgehammer.
It’s no surprise that the modding community has come up with new ways of destroying things in the game, from stronger explosives to grenade launcher rifles.
That’s not all they’ve been working on, though. There are plenty of mods that improve other aspects of gameplay as well.
Getting around the red planet can be quite tedious in RFG.
Traversing through these large empty areas of Mars towards your next objective gets especially tiresome given the slow speed limits most vehicles run on.
Modder VAXIS offers a simple solution, making all vehicles run at faster default speeds.
The mod keeps things realistic though, so don’t expect mach 6.
If the game’s destruction physics still don’t feel realistic enough for you, VAXIS has the answer to that.
While it’s fun to be able to hammer out huge chunks of steel and rock with every swing, VAXIS felt that there was some room for improvement to how things fell apart in the game.
This physics mod makes destruction even more realistic, making smaller walls of buildings crumble first, rather than everything just falling apart all at once.
Just keep in mind that the mod trades in the “over the top” destruction visuals to achieve this.
If you’ve liked what VAXIS has to offer so far, then you might want to just go ahead and download his entire mod library in a single pack.
His FACTION_0VERHAUL pack includes most of his previous mods along with a few new ones as well.
Some features include increasing all explosions to 5x the default intensity and an added cheat menu which you usually only gain access to once you’ve completed the campaign along with every side quest in the game.
There are a couple tools that can make mayhem even more fun – starting with SimpleArrows’ Super Super Hammer mod.
As if the sledgehammer wasn’t overpowered enough, this mod increases the hammer’s impact values even further – specifically when striking NPC’s and vehicles.
With the mod installed, a swing of the hammer will cause any NPC’s to ragdoll across space.
There’s not much to be said about this next mod, as author EzloSpirit already put it best:
“Singularity Bombs are the rarest weapon in RFG, but with the power of modding, we can erase this problem once and for all and create all sorts of destruction by making Singularity Bombs replenishable!”
If chaos is what you’re after, unlimited singularity bombs sound like a fun way to make that chaos, if you ask me.
