📋 About This Mod

Patches .scene files and replaces default cutscene weapon placeholders with an actual equipped weapon.

Weapon selection priority:

  • []Your last used weapon

    []Weapons equipped to weapon slots

    []Weapons from your inventory

    The scene patcher checks for any weapon matching the cutscene's required type. If none is found, patching is skipped so you will see the default weapon model. Most scenes require pistol or revolver, except the 'Search and Destroy' quest scene which requires a shotgun.

    Supported scenes:

    • []The Ripperdoc - ammo counter implant testing

      []The Pickup - Royce conversation

      []The Heist - Delamain ride to Konpeki

      []Ghost Town - Panam negotiations with 6th Street

      []Life During Wartime - negotiating with KangTao pilot if you don't have any firearm equipped

      []Life During Wartime- Hellman first meet

      []Life During Wartime - Hellman interrogation

      []Transmission - negotiating with WoodooBoys (probably the same case with no firearm)

      []Search and Destroy - hotel talk with Johnny holding a shotgun

      []Spider and the Fly (Phantom Liberty) - boss fight

      []Killing Moon (Phantom Liberty) - King of Wands ending, partially supported

      []Gig: The Man Who Killed Jason Foreman (Phantom Liberty) - Rinder talking scene

      Patched scene files:
