RDR2 - Enhanced Brawling V2.4

This mod contains all of my works that aimed to improve melee combat only in one file. (Grapple Sequences, subdue animations, 5 brawling styles, struggle challenge, charge with knife, shove, kick animations, new brawl animations and a grapple position switching for back and front grapple for every weapon and more improvements).

[All of the keys are configurable with the 2.4 update | Thanks to TuffyTown’s open source solution since that helped me a lot while creating a configuration file]
