Description

This mod changes the handling/grip of several weapons in the game when you are idle, walking, or running.

(The mod modifies your weaponsanimations.meta, so it’s recommended to back up your files before installing it. The mod includes a backup, but it’s from the vanilla game.)

The following list is of the weapons that change their handling/grip when the mod is installed:

Changelog:
2/23/2026 – Fixed issues with the barrel animation in Pistol and Pistol_MK2, and stealth is now optional. Added a semi-compatible .meta for IC 1.8. This changes the rate of fire of the animations for some pistols, smg’s, and rifles.
2/11/2026 – Initial release of the mod.

Notes:
If you’re having trouble with the female MP not using the animations on some weapons, do this: Menyoo > Player Options > Movement Styles > Weapon Animations (All Below) > Default.
