Inspired by the Random Weapons Modifier from Quake II Enhanced. Dynamically swaps weapon / ammo / powerup.

Edit: 2.0 updated, now supports random powerups.
A new feature to be added in Ultra Violent UT 1.3
Finally, the new update of Ultra Violent UT enables FULL DISMEMBERMENT!!!
Arms, legs, heads now can be severed, bodies can be cut in half (waist chopping).
The engine doesn't support true dismemberment natively (it just hides the damaged body part to fake it, but never had a true severance behaviour), and I never thought it was possible.
With some black magic (I mean really hacky ragdoll replication method), I finally made dismemberment work on this two-decade-old game. So far I'm quite satisfied with the result (as showcased in the video).
REMINDER: Every severed piece by itself is an independent ragdoll, so if it didn't get destroyed soon enough, the engine would hit ragdoll limit (32 maximum), it wouldn't crash the game, but if you encounter major stuttering or ragdoll freezing issues, just lower the severance chance value or the ragdoll lifespan, so fewer ragdolls would exist at the same time.
After some experimenting, finally get the full dismemberment to work in UT2004.
Turns out everything can be severed -- head, limbs, waist...
Some nice waist chopping footage here, still work in progress, but I think the most difficult part has been done.
Will be included in the next Ultra Violent UT update.
This is a major update for the new mutator I recently posted: https://www.reddit.com/r/unrealtournament/comments/1w2hv69/ultra_violent_ut_gibable_corpses_vse_gameplay/
v1.1 Update features:
- Gibbing and dismemberment now release a juicy blood mist that reacts properly to surfaces.
- Blood decals can now stay permanently (configurable) - very messy.
- Bleeding wounds now leave blood decals, and the bleeding wanes over time.
- Bouncing gibs now splatter blood decals in every direction (walls, ceilings) and have a chance to leave small sticky gibs on the surface.
- Corpses now leave blood trails when sliding across surfaces.
- Corpse Rain is back - SP endgame finale, ends on a click.
This is a rework of my previous mutator Gibable Corpses Bloody Hell Edition (Ultra Brutal UT).
VSE = Vanilla Standalone Edition
So this version is made for vanilla UT2004, it no longer requires Ballistic Weapons Mod.
BW Mod's gore effects are replaced by vanilla gore effects.
Since the vanilla gore assets are a bit goofy and cartoonish, I made certain improvements and workarounds to make them more violent and brutal.
Most of the features from the previous mutator (like violent physics, corpse gibbing, wall impact, even the Wilhelm scream and slow-motion) have been successfully ported to this version.
Hope you enjoy it!
I'm modding UT2004 (BallisticWeaponsMod based), see my prior posts
https://www.reddit.com/r/unrealtournament/comments/1u9whwn/brutal_flak_cannon_simutaneous_multihit/
Major issue:
on a DEDICATED SERVER, settled ragdolls ignore explosion splash damage (rocket/flak HurtRadius) — the corpse just stays put. But:
- hitscan shots → corpse reacts (client-side KAddImpulse applied immediately on hit)
- projectile direct hits → corpse flies (engine-level karma collision)
- splash → server-side HurtRadius → I relay the kick down to the client and apply KAddImpulse/KSetSkelVel on the torn-off ragdoll copy → logged "applied", but the corpse never moves
Key observations:
- On the client, settled ragdolls are PHYS_None (suspended karma). Script karma APIs (KAddImpulse, KSetSkelVel, KWake, SetPhysics to KarmaRagdoll) are all silently ignored on the suspended torn-off copy.
- The ONLY thing that moves a settled ragdoll is an engine-level physical collision (projectile hitting the karma bodies).
- In standalone, splash blows the corpse because the explosion's physical force wakes the karma first.
Has anyone found a way to wake/re-activate a suspended karma ragdoll on a UT2004 client via script, or to make a client-side splash react? Any tips (karma flags, bBlockKarma tricks, force wake, re-init skeleton karma, etc.) would be much appreciated.
A new mutator that adds 13 distinctive perks and other gameplay enhancement for Ballistic Weapons Mod of Unreal Tournament 2004.
A new mutator I recently made. It combines several other minor previous mutator to enhance the gameplay of Ballistic Weapons Mod.
- Randomized weapons and killstreaks
- Perk system (inspired by COD franchise)
Currently the Perks are randomized so every spawn feels different, so players need to work with whatever weapons and perks they have.
Also some other features:
- Sprint FOV: Now FOV warps when sprinting, so the speed shift is more obvious.
- LAW replenishment: The ammo of FGM-70 LAW (which is practically a nuke launcher) can now be replenished.
Gibable Corpses Bloody Hell Edition (Ultra Brutal UT) v1.6 Update:
A lightweight mutator rebuilt from the original saDamagePopup allowing QuakeLive styled damage popup and hitsounds.
DamagePopup and Hitsounds can be toggled seperately, Popup color customizable.
Just a minor visual update so the weapon drop could look more randomized.
Gibable Corpses Bloody Hell Edition (Ultra Brutal UT) V1.5 Cult Movie Director Update
New Feature in update 1.4:
Some BW / UT2341 gameplay with the updated LootDrop mutator.
The new update allows adrenaline drop on melee and headshot kills with additional sound effects.
Dropped adrenaline pills also gravitate towards the perpetrator like in DOOM franchise or some other action games.
Just made a new mutator that allows killed players drop additional weapons with light trails effect (kinda like Borderlands franchise)
Also I made 2 simple add-on mutator to enhance the gameplay for BW's arena mode allowing more weapons per respawn and killstreak randomization.
Just some ultra-violent UT2004 gameplay with skimpy skins and the UT2341 mod.
UT2341 Beta 3 is great but left some bugs (Issues with weapon keybindings and armor HUD display), so I made a custom mutator to fix them. I'm also running my own extreme gore mutator (based on Ballistic Weapons Mod) and a custom bot manager to force spawn these specific custom models into the match.
All my custom mutators and the UT2341 fix are on ModDB.
