rqoGjXWwd1o1st person only for now, 3rd person is in progress, made majority of knuckle-type unarmed weapons vary less in speed, in vanilla spiked knuckles are way faster for no reason than boxing tape, now they are equal, consider this a personal mod as i was annoyed by vanilla animations and its noodle arms, this mod makes punches a little more punchy, but nothing amazing.

✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (1,779 endorsements) and massive download count (317k) — this mod is proven
- Directly improves the feel of unarmed combat, a niche but beloved playstyle
- Last updated in 2022, so it's relatively recent and likely compatible with current game versions
⚠️ Cons
