Just Cause 2 – Definitive Edition

This is the Just Cause 2 - Definitive Edition mod-pack, which aims to massively overhaul Just Cause 2 and make it up-to-date in its gameplay and visuals. This is the best way to play Just Cause 2 today, as it totally remasters what is in my opinion the best Just Cause game in the series, and turns it into one of the greatest sandbox games ever made. Best part about this mod-pack is that it can run even on the slowest of PCs currently in the market at the highest settings @ 1920X1080 resolution.

It adds in higher-resolution as well as well-detailed terrain textures, higher quality skin texture for our protagonist Rico, higher resolution as well as more detailed day and night skyboxes, time and weather changing equipment via the Black Market, increased sprint speed, revamped camera, better FOV, faction wars, more aggressive enemy AI, a Panau Police department, higher NPC populace and variety, better weapon textures and reworked damage, more detailed explosions, rebalanced health, enhanced vehicle controls, among other things.

I tried uploading this on Nexus Mods, but a moderator deleted it claiming that I can't re-upload others' mods without their permission, even though none of the mod creators in this case specified that prior permission was required before re-uploading their work. I have combined all these mods, ensuring stability as well as compatibility, and also provided an optional Reshade preset created by me for giving a photorealistic look to the game. Enjoy a massively enhanced Just Cause 2 experience! Happy gaming.

Download the ZIP folder. Inside it, you'd find a "Download link" text file with a Google Drive link in it. Copy-paste that link in your preferred browser's URL address bar and download the mod-pack. Open the "README-INSTALLATION" text file inside the ZIP folder you just downloaded and follow it duly.

1.1: Balanced the mod-pack by making the "Super-Para-Thruster-with-original-parachute-replacer" mod by fox optional. It can now be found in the "Extra Mods" folder.

1.2: Fixed the SFX, VFX, and AOE of many of the explosions in this mod-pack. They are now even more realistically detailed. Added a new mod which allows players to change the time of day and weather to their liking using Black Market equipment.

  1. PLEASE TELL ME THIS WILL GET UPDATES!!!! I’VE PLAYED THIS FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES, AND EVERYTHING IS CRAZY!!! MY ONLY ISSUE IS THE MENU SCREEN GOING BLACK ON STARTUP, ASWELL AS THE INGAME MENU ETC, AND THE 20 FPS IF I DON’T CHANGE A SETTING, AND THEN SET IT BACK TO WHAT I HAD IT, AND THEN ACCEPT IT AGAIN!!

    ASIDE FROM THAT, I LOVE THIS MOD TO DEATH!!! :>

  2. I’ve found quite a few issues with this mod collection, but at least none of them so far are unbearable/gamebreaking.

    – Explosive barrels don’t explode properly anymore; they lack an explosive hitbox, and have different SFX and VFX than normal. For example, shooting a barrel amongst a pile of barrels does not lead to a chain reaction; only the shot barrel explodes, and the rest of the pile is unaffected.
    – Some vehicle and weapon upgrades are completely reset upon rebooting the game, even when saving after upgrading. The upgrade points are not refunded, leading to a permanent loss of those upgrade points.
    – Shooting the grapple hook into the sky (most often occurs when missing while trying to tether onto aircraft) will always result in the grapple hook rope glitching out, and Rico constantly has a wire protruding from him. This can be fixed by using the grapple hook to sling Rico a few meters.
    – I can’t seem to find a way to cap the FPS, even with ReShade menu. These mods seem to override the /frameratelimit I put in Steam game’s Properties tab, too.

    Other than that, these mods are pretty good. Still worth playing the game with these mods despite the inconveniences, but it would be amazing if they could be patched!

    1. Thanks for the kind words. To answer your queries:-

      – Fixed with the new update. The SFX, VFX, and AOE of many of the explosions have been reworked to make them more realistic.
      – The items which aren’t a part of the Black Market in the vanilla game can’t be upgraded. Upgrading them does nothing and leads to a waste of upgrade points.
      – This can’t be fixed. This mod-pack includes a mod that increases the grappler’s strength to the highest possible value in the game, making melee attacks significantly more powerful and reeling in much faster. This is your culprit mod. However, without this mod, the updated combat becomes exceedingly difficult and feels unbalanced.
      – I don’t have this issue. Honestly, I don’t think any mod in this mod-pack causes this. I’d recommend you to just use the in-game V-Sync.
