📋 About This Mod

Superseded by

Cutscene Weapon Swapper

How it works:

  • []Replaces the Unity props used in some cutscenes with your chosen weapon.[/]

    []Replaces V's starting pistol (which is also used in some cutscenes) with your chosen weapon.[/]

    []Doesn't replace any revolvers that show up in Phantom Liberty.[/]

    []Invisible pistol in the time skip montage is now fixed.[/]

    []The pistol in the time skip montage cannot be changed due to the animations breaking.[/]

    []Doesn't effect or break base game weapons like "Default Unity Replacer" did.[/]

    []Attachments don't show in cutscenes (except Her Majesty suppressor & Ambition optic).[/]

    Notes:

    • []In my testing during the Royce scene, going from cutscene to combat unequips your active weapon and gives you a temporary one in that slot that disappears when unequiped.[/]

      []Only use one file at a time and make sure you don't have any "CUR" or "DUR" files installed.[/]

      []If you install an Iconic weapon version, there might be issues with acquiring the weapon when you would naturally during the game since some may get flagged as already being obtained.[/]
