Leon’s toolkit has been greatly enhanced in Resident Evil 4 Remake, but the addition of a dodge roll would’ve practically made him unstoppable. Well, thanks to the active modding community, you can live your Dark Souls fantasy and watch Leon roll around enemies. This mod lets you dodge roll in Resident Evil 4 Remake, and it’s glorious.
Dodge Roll in Resident Evil 4 Remake
This mod has been created by NexusMods user alphaZomega, who previously released the “Kick Open Doors Mod” as well. Their work is excellent, and this isn’t just a model swap but a new mechanic, which makes it all the more impressive.
Prerequisites
This mod works differently from the Fluffy Mod Manager, so you’ll need the REFramework that we previously used to remove the vignette effect, add an auto-parry option, and health bars mod.
- Sign-up on NexusMods, so that you can download the mod manager, and mod files
- Install Winrar or 7zip, to extract compressed files
Download and Install REFramework
- Head over to the following link, and click on Manual Download
- This will download a zip file
- Extract the zip file into the Resident Evil 4 Remake installation folder
- Launch Resident Evil 4 Remake, and you’ll see the toolbar for REFramework show up
- Close the game, and a folder called “reframework” will be created in the Resident Evil 4 installation folder
Installing the Mod
Now that we have the frameworks installed, we can easily download and install the mod.
- Head over to the following link, and click on Manual Download
- Now, extract the file using Winrar or 7zip and place the DodgeRoll.lau file in the autorun folder inside reframework
\RESIDENT EVIL 4 BIOHAZARD RE4\reframework\autorun
Launch Resident Evil 4, and the mod should be working as intended. To hide the Reframework toolbar, use the “ins” key. That’s all you need to do, and you can now dodge roll in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
Removing the Mod
If you wish to remove the mod along with the REFramework, delete the following files and folders in the Resident Evil 4 installation folder.
reframework (folder)
dinput8.dll
