Souls 1 Handed and Gun Idle is a compact animation mod for The Witcher 3 that replaces the idle animations for one-handed, dual-wield, and Glenmoril guns with a stance inspired by the Souls series. With 197 endorsements and 35,093 downloads, it's a niche but popular choice for players wanting a more grounded, combat-ready idle pose.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing (197 endorsements) and over 35k downloads show it's a trusted pick
- Simple, focused change—no bloat, just a better idle stance
- Works across three weapon types, so it's good value for one mod slot
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects idle animations—no changes to movement or combat
- Last updated in 2021, so it may not be compatible with newer game patches
- Potential conflicts with other animation mods that alter the same idle states
For Witcher 3 players who want a more Souls-like, battle-ready idle pose without overhauling the whole animation system. If you're into immersion and prefer a subtle stance change over flashy moves, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for combat animation overhauls—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in your 'Mods' folder and use a mod manager like Vortex to avoid overwriting conflicts.
- If you're using other animation mods, load this one after them to ensure the idle stance takes priority.
- Test the idle in different stances (sword drawn, dual-wield, gun) to confirm the animations apply correctly.
