Game v2.0 patch - No Forced Weapon On Carrying Bodies

The game v2 changed the weapons behavior when carrying bodies forcing automatic weapon equip and prohibiting unequip or weapons switch.

This mod aims to restore your control over weapons to how it functioned in previous game versions.

Additionally, you can choose whether to permit the game to automatically equip your weapon upon picking up a body (which has always been the default behavior in the game if you had a perk enabling weapons when carrying enabled).

In other words: you're back in control over your weapons.

And you're no longer forced to look like an idiot brandishing weapons while just taking a body to a dumpster ;)

There are two mod edition types to choose from:

CET Edition:

CET. No forced weapons all-in-one - this mod allows you switch/unequip weapons and toggle initial automatic weapon equip based on your preferences.

This is a universal mod that covers all functionalities and lets you decide what features you want to enable.

Please note that the game's initial weapon equip is enabled by default - you'd need to disable it in the mod's CET window if you like it.

The CET edition is set as the main Vortex download file.

Redscript Editions:

As redscript does not allow me to present you with mod options, there are two files to choose from based on your preferences:

Reds. A. No initial weapon equip - this mod prevents the initial automatic weapon equip and allows you switch/unequip weapons.

Reds. B. Default initial weapon equip - this mod allows you switch/unequip weapons while still retaining the automatic initial weapon equip.

You can install one over the other if you change your mind.

Please make sure to install correct requirements!

What if I install the CET and Redscript editions?

There is no harm in installing both.

The CET edition will detect the presence of the redscript edition and remain inactive.

Additionally, the CET edition will allow you to control redscript editions features from its menu window.

Limitations:

As per the game design, only one handed small firearms are allowed when carrying bodies.

When carrying bodies while a weapon is unequipped, the keyboard keys 1,2,3.. don't work as weapon equip shortcuts - this is the game limitation.

These keys work only as equipped weapon switch in this special game mode.

You can use mouse left click, Alt or equip/unequip keys/buttons to equip your weapon instead.

Currently this mod stays on sidelines if you activate Savage Sling body perk due to inconsistencies in the game code that would allow conflicting actions in this case. Thanks to 2000Arsen for providing details.
