Mods
Several excellent mods are available for Just Cause 2.
- Increased Grapple Range & Speed
- Technopath's Black Market Mod
- Superman Flying Mod (and in first-person)
- Super Car
- HD Improved Clouds
- High-Resolution Moon and Enhanced Stars
- Map Viewer
- No Film Grain
Generally, mods go in C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\just cause 2\dropzone or C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\just cause 2\dropzone
Create the dropzone folder, as it doesn't normally exist. If your mod comes with subfolders (like textures), put the subfolders inside dropzone. Some mods do not use dropzone, so please read the instructions for all mods.
Just Cause 2 Multiplayer Mod
- Also known as 'JC2-MP'.
- Currently in closed beta, and only available to play on certain public beta weekends hosted every few weeks.
