This mod lets you equip any weapon as a side arm

I was inspired by Xeronkar's More side weapons, but it does not seem to be updated anymore

since S2 had some mayor patches, it no longer works

This is just a new version. This mod was developed with Stalker HOC 1. 5. 1 so it's working at the current release, don't ask for older versions support

Installation:

use vortex or install manually

Manual Installation:

download the mod and extract it with 7zip

Place the .pak file into this directory: "S. T. A. L. K. E. R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl/Stalker2/Content/Paks/~mods/".

If the "~mods" folder doesn't exist, create it and place the file inside it.

if you're using other mods that modify WeaponPrototypes.cfg like Better Ballistics use simple mod merger or modify the WeaponPrototypes.cfg yourself (when the game updates and I'm unable to update the mod)

in WeaponPrototype
