📋 About This Mod

TL made some changes to some weapons that they showcased once, some 1 handed weapons became 2 handed. I felt it visually unsatisfying so I basically just turned all 2 handed weapons (except for knuckle dusters and bows ofc) into 1 handed ones, and as I said the 2 handed weapons now should be 1 handed, what comes with the visual changes is increased efficiency of swinging weapons.

u know how to install it, just put data2.pak in steamapps\common\Dying Light 2\ph\source

if you already have a data2 then rename the mod to data3, and to data4 if you have data3 and so on

this mod modifies inventory_weapondefinitions.scr ,inventory_prototypes.scr and inventory_ch_prototypes.scr , so it may conflict with some other mods that modified the same files.

mod is updated to be compatible with ver 1. 6, unchanged weapon types variations added(some of the weapons are classified by their look instead of by their weapon type codes).

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod converts all two-handed weapons into one-handed variants for Aiden, including visual changes to his grip and increased swing efficiency. Compatible with game version 1.6, it offers a straightforward gameplay tweak for players who prefer faster, lighter weapon handling.

✨ Key Features

Converts all two-handed weapons into one-handed versions
Changes Aiden's weapon-holding animations to match one-handed style
Increases weapon swing efficiency
Updated for compatibility with version 1.6

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Simple concept that delivers exactly what it promises
  • Swing efficiency boost makes combat feel snappier
  • Compatible with the current 1.6 version

⚠️ Cons

  • Only 49 endorsements, so it's a niche pick
  • No screenshots or videos to preview the visual changes
  • May unbalance the game since two-handers were balanced for slower swings
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who love two-handed weapon aesthetics but hate the slow swing speed. If you're a melee-focused build and want faster attacks without switching to one-handers, this is for you. Skip if you prefer the weight and challenge of traditional two-handed combat.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure your game is updated to version 1.6 to avoid compatibility issues.
  • If you're using a mod manager, install this like any other mod; otherwise, manually place files in the game's mod folder.
  • Test the swing speed in a low-stakes area first to get a feel for the new timing.
