📋 About This Mod
Info
This mod removes the global rate of fire changes added by New Vegas Animation Overhaul - Guns.
It is something that I made last year when I was testing out new kNVSE functions. NVAO is great but it does a few questionable things. One, many of the animations do not conform to vanilla timings at all, with some being significantly slower or faster. This causes different fire rates between 1st and 3rd person modes. Two, it resets many of the weapon attack animation multipliers. This directly affects the rate of fire of these weapons on not just the player in 3rd person, but all NPCs as well.
Might be a big deal to some.
Fully scripted and ESPless.
Requirements
New Vegas Script Extender (NVSE xNVSE)
JIP LN NVSE Plugin

For Fallout: New Vegas players who use New Vegas Animation Overhaul - Guns but find the altered rate of fire off-putting. If you prefer the original weapon timing and just want the visual animation improvements, this patch is for you. Skip if you're fine with NVAO's default ROF changes or don't use the overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install this patch after NVAO - Guns in your mod manager to ensure it overwrites the ROF changes.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let this mod load after NVAO to guarantee the patch takes effect.
