📋 About This Mod
NEW: Check out Xolerys1's "Inspect your Gloves" anim used as an alternative inspect animation for all unarmed-type weapons HERE! (Ported by pericov1)
Hitman47101 created the awesome Combat Knife Anim Set - KNVSE; I'm just re-using its inspect animation.
Thanks to Xilandro's B42 Inspect mod and my elementary school degree I made it so that all melee weapons can be inspected at will.
All credit goes to these two chads, be sure to endorse their mods and maybe drop a few bucks on their patreon/paypal/whatever as I'm pretty sure they're the most responsible for keeping this game alive after all these years.
Be aware: Hit's animation wasn't meant to be used with all these weapons, especially unarmed ones, so it might look janky with some of them (Power Fist, Ballistic Fist, Displacer Glove..). This is the only way to inspect them for now, until someone creates proper, dedicated animations.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 631 endorsements and over 305k downloads
- Adds a consistent, polished inspect animation to all melee weapons
- Simple compatibility patch that does exactly what it says
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the B42 Inspect mod as a dependency, so it's not standalone
- Only affects melee weapons—ranged weapons keep their default animations
- Last updated in March 2024, so it may not be compatible with future game updates
For Project Zomboid players who use the B42 Inspect mod and want a uniform, stylish inspect animation across all melee weapons. If you don't use B42 Inspect, this mod is useless. Skip if you prefer variety in animations or don't care about inspect animations.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the B42 Inspect mod installed and enabled before adding this one, or the animations won't play.
- Load order matters: place this mod after B42 Inspect in your mod list to ensure it overrides correctly.
- If you're using other animation mods, test in a sandbox world first to avoid conflicts.
