📋 About This Mod
AssaultRifleAsSecondaryWeapon_AddOn
-
[]This version places Assault Rifles in the secondary weapon category (PISTOL) without removing them from primary weapons.
[
]The Mk1 Carbine BCM is not available in this version. You can use the Replacement version only for this weapon.[]All players need to have the mod for it to work in multiplayer.
[]When using a sight attachment it does not stay aligned. This does not happen in the Replacement version.
[]If the weapons do not appear, go to "%localappdata%\ReadyOrNot\Saved\SaveGames\" and delete the "SBL" folder.
[]If it still doesn't work, try installing another mod that adds a weapon (for example Glock 17 Gen 3). I don't know why, but sometimes this version needs another mod that adds a weapon to work.

[]Note:
[]For the mod to work in multiplayer, all players need to have the mod (note: if you only have the MK18 and the other player only has the MCX, the mod does not work, both players need the MK18 and the MCX).
-
[]To remove the mod you have to delete the mod from the Paks folder, then open the game, go to Loadout and in the secondary weapon menu click on Pistol (located below the letters LOADOUT in the top left corner).
The mod works with Shield and SWAT AI officers.
Known issues:
Assault Rifles don't have a category. Assault Rifles use the PISTOL category.
Weapons are not in the correct position when using the shield.
The game crashes when using burst mode along with a shield. Only single-shot and full-auto modes can be used.
Bug in weapon animations when firing with shield.
