📋 About This Mod

First of all, the assets and major work of this mod IS NOT MY OWN. The work and permission has been granted to me by onymaru9 and the assets are from his amazing Much Better 3rd Person Animations Tactics mod, that complements this one beautifully. Remember to give him some kudos and download the original mod to get an amazing game experience!

  • []FIXED SPRINT BUG

    []ADDED NEW AIMING ANIMATION FROM NEW ONYMARU9 PACK

    []PLEASE ENDORSE THE ORIGINAL MOD AUTHOR AND HIS WORK AS LINKED ABOVE, THIS IS ONLY A MASHUP

I love Resident Evil. I really do. And one of the things I've love the most in them is the intimate, outstanding and visceral feeling of the games animations. The steps, the weight on the character movement and all the work involved is mesmerizing. onymaru9 captured this feeling greatly on the second iteration of his animation mod (Better 3rd Person Animations). One of the optional files provided us with the animations you can see on the gifs below: a close to the shoulder idle animation of the player character holding their handgun. This mods does a simple thing: It gets the newer handgun animations from his Much Better 3rd Person Animations Tactics and add the Leon S. Kennedy vibes back to it.

My recomendation would be to install the mod via your favorite mod manager [NMM, Vortex, MO2] but if you do prefer to install manually, the instalation is easy.

    • []Armor: Galac Tac Retribution

      []Weapon: Resident Evil Samurai Edge M9

      []Animations: Much Better 3rd Person Animations Tactics

    Q: Could you/are in the plans to port x,y,z animations to this/other game?

    A:  While I do plan to learn more stuff, currently the mod is what it is. I do plan to learn how to proper animate and have some ideas related to the The Juger Pistols but first I need to learn how to proper animate, edit and convert animations to the game. With that said, wait sometime. I've just started moding so consider me as a noob/beginner on everything related to it. I was
