2019’s hit remake ofResident Evil 2is modern, scary, and incredibly fun. The most surprising thing about the game, though, is how its community continues to pump outawesomeResident Evil 2modsthat turn into instant memes. The latest mod stars everyone’s favorite Mr. X, and it takes him down more than a few pegs.
WhenResident Evil 2launched in January, the Tyrant monster Mr. X was the scariest thing around. Chasing players from room to room relentlessly, like the Nemesis fromResident Evil 3, Mr. X was deadly and stress inducing. So naturally, his presence makes for the most hilarious mods of the year.

The latest in a series of great Mr X. mods, which includes one that makes him sing the DMX classic “X Gon' Give It To Ya” and one thatturns Mr. X into Pennywise inRE2, is a mod that makes the Tyrant tiny. The hilarious mod was shown off in a video by YouTube user Albert_Fn_Wesker, who got over half a million views on a video of a mod that turns Mr. X into Thomas the Tank Engine earlier this year. The ability to make Mr. X tiny was found in the Ultimate Trainer forResident Evil 2 —a package that supports a ton ofRE2modding on PC.
The video shows Claire running around the mansion as the downsized Mr. X chases her. He is quite puny, but he can still pack a punch if he makes contact with the player, though it looks like this mod also makes his hitbox a lot smaller. In the video, the fact that Mr. X is just as fast as when he’s big leads to hilarious animations and the funniest way to open a door in aResident Evilgame yet.
To note, theRE2mod scene has not been limited to just Mr X mods. In fact, one of the best mods so farreplaces theResident Evil 2player character with CJ fromGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas. As some might expect, this mod also changes Mr. X intoSan Andreasvillain Big Smoke.
It’s pretty amazing that such a large community has cropped up over a single-player horror game. However, it’s no surprise that so many creative fans have access to this game, consideringResident Evil 2sold 3 million units its first week. This only continued to add to Capcom’s success, as the developer is currently dominating the marketplace with games likeMonster Hunter: Worldand is regaining favorwith fans of series likeResident EvilandDevil May Cry.
Resident Evil 2is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
