Combat Enhanced 2.1.0

(9 reviews)

Welcome to Combat Enhanced, a small plugin that adds a couple of useful features to your patrolday.

Combat Enhanced makes some changes to melee combat so that you don't always have to knock the suspect out to win the fight but also adds a few useful tools to long range combat.

I would love if you might consider supporting me via PayPal. You can find the respective link under the Download button.

I’d also love to hear your thoughts - feel free to leave a review or comment, it helps me improve and make my plugins even better!

Reworked Melee combat
-> Instead of having to rely on your taser you can now also go hand to hand without "killing" the suspect. If a suspect took enough punches he will now struggle and collapse before catching his breath again.
Arrest Suspects on the ground
-> If a suspect is laying on the ground (wether from being punched, tased, beanbagged or rammed from your vehicle) you will now have the option to get ontop the suspect and try to fight for an arrest. However the suspect will try to resist that.
Disarming shots
-> If you shoot a suspects weapon out of their hand (or make their hand unuseable) they will know drop their weapon and act accordingly. This also applies to them receiving thousands of volts from your taser.
Beanbag shotgun
-> A longer ranged alternative to your taser. The beanbag will knock a suspect down for a long time. However it is ineffective if said person is wearing bodyarmor.

Copy the contents of the Grand Theft Auto V folder into your main Grand Theft Auto directory (ex: .../steamapps/common/Grand Theft Auto V/)
-> (If installed correctly it should look like this: Grand Theft Auto V/plugins/LSPDFR/CombatEnhanced.dll)
Make sure to read the README file, especially if you are using STP!

The beanbag shotgun is given automatically once you go on duty. If you are using StopThePed, make sure to disable the RealisticWeaponSystem, otherwise StopThePed will remove it. You will find your beanbag in your inventory (Pumpshotgun MK2).
To arrest a suspect on the ground, just go close to him. A prompt will appear to press the InteractionKey (default Y).

Inside the .ini file you will find the entry "ArrestKey". This has to be a number! You can find out the meaning of each number and their corresponding keys via this link.

What's New in Version 2.1.0

Released September 25, 2025Sep 25

Update Showcase 2.1.0

IMPORTANT: If you are updating from 2.0.0, replace CombatEnhanced.dll

New:

Added support for PolicingRedefined
-> There currently is a bug in PolicingRefedined that doesn't allow the Ped to be arrest properly via code. I added a workaround but that makes the Ped un-arrestable. Once the bug is patched I will make it work as expected

Changelog:

Spoiler

Update Showcase 2.0.0

IMPORTANT: If you are updating from 1.0.4, replace CombatEnhanced.dll

New:

Added ability to disarm Ped's with well placed shots
-> If you are shooting the suspects gun/hand or if you tase them, they will now loose their weapon. Depending on the restiance percentage set inside the ini file, they will either give up, try fleeing or will just continue fighting you.
Added option to disable the changes applied to the melee combat
Added option to disable the disarming-shots system

Changes:

Increased duration of the ground arrest window.
-> Previously, the ped had to be laying flat on the ground to allow for the ground arrest. Most of the time he already got up before you had the chance to even press the key. This should make it much more fair to hit it properly.

Bugfixes:

Implemented additional crash prevention when using the ground arrest
Fixed bug allowing the player to groundarrest other cops
Fixed bug allowing the player to groundarrest other animals
Fixed bug allowing the player to groundarrest peds inside vehicles
Fixed bug allowing the player to groundarrest dead peds

Update Showcase 1.0.4

IMPORTANT: If you are updating from 1.0.3, replace CombatEnhanced.dll

New:

Added shotgun firing sound when using the beanbag shotgun
Added shooting animation when using the beanbag shotgun

Bugfixes:

Previously when shooting a ped with the beanbag, all shots afterwards would always land on that ped no matter where you aimed. This has been fixed.
Peds will no longer stand idle until StopThePed kicks in after ground arrest. They will now properly play the cuffed animation while waiting
Player weapons will now be properly hidden while in the arrest animation
~~Fixed bug that made it possible to arrest animals via ground arrest~~

Update Showcase 1.0.3

IMPORTANT: If you are updating from 1.0.2, replace CombatEnhanced.dll

New:

Added cuffsound when arresting someone on the ground
Added following .ini settings:
-> EnableBeanbag: If set to true, will give the player a beanbag functioning shotgun
-> BeanbagModel: Here you can change the weapon you want to use for the beanbag shotgun
-> ResistanceChance: Set the chance that a ped will resist the ground arrest (100: Will always resist, 0: Will never resist)

Update Showcase 1.0.2

IMPORTANT: If you are updating from 1.0.1, replace CombatEnhanced.dll

Bugfixes:

Fixed bug that caused the game to crash when arresting a suspect in a chase
Fixed bug that caused the suspect to get up and run away while in a chase / Same bug that caused the player to teleport around
Fixed bug that caused arrested suspects to become uninteractable when using StopThePed
Fixed bug that caused arrest suspects to just walk away when using StopThePed

I propose a replacement for pumpshutgunmk2, since many people use it as their main weapon, including me, I put forward the idea of weapon_bullpupshotgun, since it is much less common in patrols and is almost never used, or add the ability to choose from several options, so that no one has any complaints or problems

Great plugin but can you add a option for disable the beanbag shotgun. I aleadry use a beanbag shotgun as a addon weapon.

Also some of my units in Ultimate backup use PumpshotgunMK2.

Other units arent affected by thw beanbag, only your MK2 is. But I'll add an option to disable it in the next update

Just tested the new update, Just a quick question and suggestion. What does the use vanilla arrest function do and would it be possible to make it so that not all ground arrests are resisted?

When shooting on the move from a beanbag shotgun, the bullets hit the owner, and the beanbag shotgun also shoots at the nearest ped, even if he is lying on the ground, his hitbox prevents him from hitting others

Ricy quick question, since this replaces the shotgun (example MK2) is it possible to get a sound with this replacement or shall we look elsewhere to replace the sound. Thanks.

Nice plugin, it's good to be able to choose the shotgun model but I would like to choose my model myself in the .ini file and replace it with a shotgun that I modeled on an LAPD beambag model (I replaced w_sg_sawnoff.ydr with mine in mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\patchday8ng\dlc.rpf\x64\models\cdimages\weapons.rpf\)

Can you tell me where is pumpshotgun Mk2 in the game and what to write in the .ini file to make the change.

keep it up !

This is a small bug where the gun doesnt properly reset after hitting a first ped. It will be fixed in the next update

Hey @RicyVasco, just FYI, if you change the ini. setting to 0 resistance when the subject is on the ground, then you can arrest animals! I just arrested a cat, ran a wants check through STP, and called for a transport to come get the cat. Plus, it also puts the cats front paws behind its back (looks like a goofy T-rex) and a prisoner transport will actually come get the cat.

PLEASE DO NOT FIX THIS!! ITS HILARIOUSLY AMAZING!! 🤙🤣

@RicyVasco could you remove the detainee blip its breaks when you use stp because stp already uses blips and please add back the arrested animal thing, 10/10 feature.

I don't add any blips. Those are STP's and LSPDFR blips

Alright I was just checking because it keeps appearing on peds for no reason even if they aren't detained/arrested.

Either you changed the beanbag model incorrectly in the ini file or you aren't running the latest versiom of GTA

Could you look into adding shoving animation (the one NPCs can do to Player when agitated)? Would be cool to create distance with peds coming up in your face or as an act of intimidation…. perhaps have a prob for whether the ped will cease hostility (if they are aggro with Player) or end up fighting. Don’t know if you can momentarily relinquish control of the Player character to allow the animation to be performed correctly (lined up and what have you) and have an abort key to cancel animation if need be.
