Motion tracking remover

This mod does exactly what it says it does. This prevents motion tracking from working in the game. Without the tracker, the player will never know exactly where the creature is. Players will need to be much more careful without using the tracker as a kickstand.

Life savers

This mod completely changes the way the game is played. Tools and weapons are revised to make the game much easier for players. Weapons are now more effective against the Xenomorph and can even scare him more easily. This is a good mod for players who are not fans of horror games but still want to experience a casual game of Isolation.

Unpredictable alien

This mod makes changes to the Xenomorph's AI to make it more unpredictable. The alien can now move freely instead of staying near Ripley. When combined with the motion tracking remover, it makes the game much more difficult.

Aggressive alien

This mod will give you a much bigger challenge if you start to get bored of the game. The stranger will now be much more aggressive and more sensitive to the amount of noise you make. He will fall much more frequently and harass you relentlessly. It will also appear in new areas and make things more difficult while you wait for the transit to arrive.

It is not actually a mod but a shader file for use with ReShade. This shader makes the game look like the original 1979 movie. It adds a bit more suspense and realism to the game. To use it, you will need to download and install ReShade in the game directory.

Silent movement

Silent Movement makes the game a little easier for players who are going through a rough time or want a more relaxed experience. Now you can easily move around the game without having to worry about NPCs hearing you.

No HUD

Predictably, this mod removes the HUD and reticle. The button prompts will remain and there is an option to keep the crosshair, but everything else disappears. It can make the game a bit more realistic for the players.

Flaming bolt gun

This mod makes some changes to the game. First of all, it makes the bolt pistol a bit more powerful. The gun also gains a secondary with either flame or acid bullets depending on which version of the mod you install. Depending on the version, this can also cause the acidic blood from the Xenomorph to now damage Ripley.

Crazy AI

This modifies all enemy AI in the game. It gives them a larger cone of vision and hearing and causes them to do more damage. The mod also changes the Xenomorph's AI so that it can now enter and even hear you move around adjacent rooms and vents. It can also be alerted by peeking around corners and from hiding places if you spend too much time looking at it. Most of the more obvious hiding places, such as under tables, will no longer be effective. This is the definitive difficulty mod for modifying the AI.

Flamethrower uses less ammo
