This mod changes the handling/grip of several weapons in the game when you are idle, walking, or running.
(The mod modifies your weaponsanimations.meta, so it's recommended to back up your files before installing it. The mod includes a backup, but it's from the vanilla game.)
The following list is of the weapons that change their handling/grip when the mod is installed:
• PISTOL
• PISTOL_MK2
• COMBATPISTOL
• PISTOL50
• APPISTOL
• STUNGUN
• HEAVYPISTOL
• VINTAGEPISTOL
• MACHINEPISTOL
• SMG
• ASSAULTSMG
• COMBATPDW
• MINISMG
• PUMPSHOTGUN
• PUMPSHOTGUN_MK2
• SAWNOFFSHOTGUN
• ASSAULTSHOTGUN
• BULLPUPSHOTGUN
• DBSHOTGUN
• ASSAULTRIFLE
• CARBINERIFLE
• CARBINERIFLE_MK2
• ADVANCEDRIFLE
• COMPACTRIFLE
• MG
• COMBATMG
• GUSENBERG
• SNIPERRIFLE
• HEAVYSNIPER
Changelog:
2/26/2026 - Added the animations for ballistic and female. Added Low & Ready Grip for COMPACTRIFLE. Added more I.C 1.8 compatibility for VINTAGEPISTOL, PUMPSHOTGUN, PUMPSHOTGUN_MK2, and SAWNOFFSHOTGUN. Fixed some issues with the animations.
2/23/2026 - Fixed issues with the barrel animation in Pistol and Pistol_MK2, and stealth is now optional. Added a semi-compatible .meta for IC 1.8. This changes the rate of fire of the animations for some pistols, smg's, and rifles.
2/11/2026 - Initial release of the mod.
Notes:
(Can be fixed with: "optional fix (mp female)")
If you're having trouble with the female MP or others not using the animations on some weapons, do this: Menyoo > Player Options > Movement Styles > Weapon Animations (All Below) > Default. (Female and Ballistic works as well.)

It works on Enhanced version ?
@JZCHRiCP I DM'd you about the issue
@Matheuss_HZ I've never played on enhanced, so I don't know the probability of being compatible, but it probably isn't.
I love this mod - small bug, just as a heads up - fat peds, with fat movement sets, hold pistols weirdly. Just an observation! Keep up the great work bro.
question, could you do Immersive Combat compatibility? (maybe IC Modified too)
@Zysteriz He already did
@CoronaPrime This is possible to fix, but it would mess up their bellies, especially for peds with move_superfat. (Sorry for the late reply, I’ve been quite busy lately, as well as fixing and adding new features to the mod, it's 1 AM right now.)
Amazing mod @JZCHRiCP! Very cool anims but why do they not work/only partially work on MP_Female? Is there a more permanent fix than menyoo?
We could install the ic compatibility and the Npc Style Cover Animations over it? Don't they both use weaponanimations.meta?
@M4RKSMN I apologize for the late response. I've been busy. Answering your question, yes, it is possible; the only thing is that I haven't uploaded or modified it for IC yet because I haven't had the time. I'll upload a fix for both vanilla and IC in a little while, hopefully.
@That1GuyDel IC uses weaponanimations.meta, and NPCCover from what I know doesn't👍
@JZCHRiCP perfect
@JZCHRiCP Awesome ty! Great work!
what lines where added? i want to use it with another weapon animation meta
@YaBoiRandom There are a lot of lines, and I think it would take a while to find them. So to help you better, contact me on Discord: "chriswolfgang", and we can have a call or chat, and it will probably be faster.
@JZCHRiCP iimma try to figure out some compatibilty for stance for you on the service carbine. i love the tactical animations but with the high ready animations and the Stance script makes chracters walk around like elmer fudd with a broken back lol. hopefully it doesnt need to be a script override and can be done with the stealthoverride. 5/5 mod tho
@voodoodres I also had issues with that same mod, so I decided to uninstall it to avoid the problem. I hope you can resolve it, and if you do, please send me a message. Thanks for the 5/5 rating! And btw, I really like your mods, much love.
@voodoodres (sorry for the late response...)
@JZCHRiCP your all good friend i actually very much enjoy your mod too i isolated you redits and made it so they only work on service carbine for now i will keep testing!
Does this need an update cause of the immersive combat 1.9 update?
