--60UZcv-aw rssaLuyInOw Animated 6 Wires throughout the pitt, making them all sway slightly as a way to emulate actual wind reactions, the animations are very subtle and may go unnoticed - fortunately this is only an asset change and comes at no plugin/ESP cost, so its "fun at no cost" lol.

💡 Beginner Tips
