✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 1.1 million downloads and 2,510 endorsements
- Simple behavior edit that adds variety without overhauling the whole game
- Still relevant despite 2020 update — a testament to its quality
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 — may have compatibility issues with newer game versions
- Behavior edits can conflict with other mods that alter the same files
For players who want more visual flair when drawing weapons without a full animation overhaul. If you're tired of the same equip animations and want a lightweight addition, this is for you. Skip if you're on the latest game version and worried about compatibility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game version is compatible with mods from 2020, as updates may break behavior edits.
- If you use other animation mods, test this one in a clean save to avoid conflicts.
- Since it's a behavior edit, make sure to load it correctly with your mod manager to ensure it takes effect.
