📋 About This Mod
Onymaru9's Assault Rifle Idle Animations, including 3 different options to choose from, released as a Standalone mod.
This release includes relaxed idle animations for any Assault Rifle present in the game, such as the Handmade Rifle from the Nuka World DLC or AK-47/M16 Style weapons added by other mods. Choose only one main file.
Recommended Mod: Much Better 3rd Person Animations Tactics - MoreLikeVicky's Edition, for full animation sets for Assault Rifles, and every other kind of weapon in the game.
Animations will be played by Male and Female Player Characters, when the weapon is lowered.
Includes Idle flavors and animations for dialogue, to avoid inconsistencies and bad transitions!
Credits: All Animations originally made by Onymaru9.
All animations in this mod were taken directly from FOR THE DROIDS and Much Better 3rd Person Animations Tactics and re-uploaded as a standalone mod, with his permission!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 141 endorsements and over 5,400 downloads.
- Gives you three distinct idle animations to mix up your rifle's look.
- Standalone release means you can drop it in without wrestling with other mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers assault rifles—if you use other weapon types, this won't touch them.
- No preview images or videos in the description, so you're picking blind.
- Last updated in January 2024—might not play nice with future game patches.
For players who want a bit more life in their assault rifle idle stance and don't mind a simple cosmetic swap. If you're after full weapon animation overhauls or support for other gun types, this isn't it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate—no extra steps needed.
- Try each of the three animations in-game to see which one fits your playstyle best.
- Since it's standalone, you can safely pair it with other animation mods that affect different weapons.
