The community has spawned various mods to enhance your Painkiller experience or circumvent restrictions placed in the original game. Information and links for each one can be found below.
ABOUT INSTALLATION: Most of the mods listed here are simple archives and have pretty much the same method of installation - just extract them in PK's \Data folder, taking care to preserve the folder structure. The ones that differ will be specified exclusively. If you want a more detailed explanation keep reading.
A LITTLE MORE TECHNOBABBLE: PK normally reads it's game data from the .pak files in the \Data folder, for example in a clean installation the \Data folder will not contain a \LScripts folder and PK will use it's own LScripts.pak. If you create a \LScripts folder yourself and put different files in it PK will assume you want to use a modification and will try to load them instead. Note that replacement files must of course maintain the same filenames and directory structure. So when a mod gives you folders like \Levels, \Textures, etc, just put them all in \Data. .pak and .pkm files work the same way.

Hellgun
This mod, created by Sviatoslav, adds a brand new weapon, as well as a new level to test it in. The Hellgun itself shoots the same rods of rebar as the Bolt Gun in primary mode (except they all fly straight, similar to stakes) and launches a single devastating bomb in secondary mode. The added level is a version of DM_Cursed, converted to singleplayer.
After installing the mod you can load the custom level by using the Powermad command /pmloadlevel C7L17_Secret_Area in the console. Controls for the Hellgun can be configured in the usual "Options -> Controls" menu, though sometimes they may not work correctly. If you have trouble selecting the weapon in-game just use the mouse wheel to scroll through until you get to it.
