Equip and Movement Speed Fix
YES, Stewie's tweaks fixed part of this already with the bRapidReloadFix setting. However, there are still some limitations.
Equip speed, when drawing or holstering a weapon, and reloading speed, are still not updated correctly when the total perk or Agility modifier changes while in game.
For changes in Equip speed, this mod has to do the ugly work of forcing it to update when it changes, by unequipping and reequipping your current weapon. Compared to the old fixes, this will only happen when your weapon is completely holstered to avoid animation weirdness, and can even recognize the one weapon you were using from among several copies with different conditions or mods. And a big plus, IT IS SILENT.
For changes in Reload speed however, this is not necessary likely thanks to Stewie's fix. Animation speed can be updated by simply adding and removing a dummy reload speed perk, and will be updated correctly even if your weapon is drawn. Unfortunately, since making this mod esp-less, I no longer have a dummy perk available to do this. But the modifier will be fixed together with Equip speed almost anytime your weapon is holstered anyways.
Movement speed in general is not updated correctly when the modifier changes through either perk effects using the 'Modify Run Speed' function, or when altering SpeedMult with actor value functions. It is updated when using SetSpeedMult, which this mod will use to force update your modifier anytime it changes when you start moving. This is clean and safe. I think.
My apologies to Stewie. Coding is hard, and I'm not nearly as funny as I think I am.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,364 endorsements and over 124k downloads
- Targets a specific, annoying bug that many players encounter
- ESPless means it's lightweight and won't bloat your load order
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2023 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches
- Only addresses animation speed for drawing, holstering, and running — not other animation issues
For players who notice that weapon draw/holster and running animations feel off or desynced. If you're a modder or a perfectionist who wants smoother gameplay, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't care about animation timing or if you're on a version newer than the mod's last update.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESPless, just drop the files into your Data folder or use your mod manager — no plugin to worry about.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable the mod and check that it doesn't conflict with other animation mods you have.
- Test in-game by drawing and holstering your weapon and running to see the fix in action.
