📋 About This Mod
Vanilla Problems
I consider vanilla weapon switching speed absurdly slow and doesn't fit the overall gameplay pace. Some may say it is realistic, but I disagree. While drawing a weapon from a holster takes some time, slowly raising or lowering it to aim at the center of the screen while a Bloodsucker is running at you is ridiculous. Stalker2's weapon draw/holster animations are not realistic (unless they are mocapped from a sloth).
ScrN Fast Weapon Switching
This small mod keeps vanilla weapon balancing, changing only the times for switching, drawing, and holstering (2x faster).
