📋 About This Mod
This mod adds third person power armor animations for the WattzLaserGun by DeadPool2099
This also fixes the quick-step issue while wearing power armor.
For those of you who are bothered by the 3rd-person pistol animations for power armor not matching the first person animations. (power armor is one-handed in 3rd person, two-handed in 1st person) I've included an optional file for 1 handed animations for the pistol grip. These aren't entirely new animations, just the vanilla ones with the left hand removed.
Eventually I plan to add 1-handed animations for power armor for every pistol in the game.
