Essential improvements
Make 100% Completion Possible
- Because of two unpatched bugs, no more than 99.96% completion can be attained in the vanilla game. One of the 221 water towers does not actually exist, and the final optional sidequest - no matter which one it happens to be - does not reward the usual 3 Weapon and 3 Vehicle parts.
Use the 100% Completion mod[1] |
---|
|
Bullseye Rifle Fix
- This mod fixes a couple of annoying issues with the Bullseye Rifle, like using improper ammo type, lack of possibility to zoom with scope and more.
Mouse Aiming Fix
- Just Cause 2 limits how fast you can turn because the code is made for analog sticks, which can only be pushed so far. This is especially noticeable with low sensitivity. This mod fixes that and makes your aim 1:1 with your mouse movements.
