📋 About This Mod

When switching to the weapon held in the left hand, it appears on the left side of the screen.

While this mod doesn't do anything mechanics-wise, it gives some sort of illusion that you're actually using the weapon in your left hand. Therefore, if you're for the vanilla experience but want to get a bit more graphical feedback, this is the mod for you.

Warning: after publishing the mod I found out that, because of how DFU works, if two weapons that share the same first-person image get switched, the image of the first isn’t replaced by the second. This works perfectly in DFU vanilla, but any mod that will try to change that (like this) will fail miserably. For what concerns this mod it means that, if your character is dual wielding two weapons that share the same image (e.g.: an iron long sword and an iron wakizashi), when switching hands, the image won’t change side of the screen.

This is a known issue, and it's caused by how DFU manage the FP weapon images. It will be resolved in DFU 0. 15. 0.
