📋 About This Mod

What It Does

Every melee attack picks a random animation from your weapon's full moveset. That finisher flourish? Might show up mid-combo. The jumping overhead slash? Could land while you're standing still. The game's combat math runs roughly as designed—same damage, same stamina costs, approximate timing—but V's movements become impossible to predict.

How It Works

The mod hooks into melee state transitions after the game calculates attack data, then swaps only the animation parameters. Your mechanical combo counter (the one that determines scaling and progression) stays locked to what the game expects. The visual animation is decoupled and randomized from a pool that includes:

  • []Combo attacks (the bread-and-butter chain)

    []Strong attacks (heavy hitters)

    []Final attacks (combo enders)

    []Sprint attack

    []Jump attack

    []Crouch attack

    A flow-bias system keeps combo animations from feeling too chaotic—there's a slight preference to alternate left/right swings, with a configurable chance to break the pattern.

    Technical Details

    • []Pre-generated cheatsheet for fists, arm cyberware and melee weapon movesets;

      []Runtime lookup logic as a fallback for modded/unknown weapons;

      []AnimationEntry enriched with native durations, trail side, and attack name from TweakDB records;

      []Debug logging shows attack type + index for each swing;

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check if your game has anti-cheat (like EAC) and disable it if needed, as animation mods may trigger it.
  • Use a mod manager to easily enable/disable the mod and avoid conflicts with other animation mods.
  • Test in a low-stakes area first to see if the random animations feel good to you.
