📋 About This Mod

This mod was suggested by Lysril in the comments for my other mod Visual Holsters

It does what it says on the tin. For some reason the game forces you to hold a weapon when carrying a body, my mod removes that restriction.

There is also an option to use the carrying animations with both hands while unarmed - similar to The Rescue mission!

  • []If you are unarmed and pick up a body to carry it, my script will allow you to stay unarmed instead of the game forcing a weapon.

    []But if you are holding any weapon when you pick up the body, you will optionally keep that weapon in your hands.

    []Your weapon holster key will now work when carrying a body, so you can holster your gun without restriction.

    []You can enable the option to carry bodies in both hands while unarmed, this includes the gentler pickup and drop animations too.

    []You can also draw a weapon while carrying a body in both hands, but this will reset the animation to normal until you put the body down.

    []You can configure the options for the mod, in the mod settings page. They are turned off by default.

    []To access the settings, go to the Pause Menu > Mods > Ripperdoc

    This mod might interfere with quests. I recommend only using it in freeroam gameplay.

    You need Cyber Engine Tweaks for the mod to work.

    To change the options in the mod requires Native Settings UI.

    Install the mod simply by copying the 'bin' folder into your Cyberpunk 2077 folder.
