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.)

@JZCHRiCP i already have an edited weaponanimations.meta from immersive combat mod, so if i install yours it will overwrite it, can you put the lines that i have to change so i can edit the file manually ?
Insanely cool!!!! 😎🤘 A mod we have needed for quite some time! Great work JZCHRiCP! 💯 Thank you for sharing this with us! 🔥🐺🔥
@WolfFire23309 Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Would it be possible to manually edit the files so that the sprinting anim is one handed but the jogging/walking anim are still your version?
@JZCHRiCP can you update the animations to be used for MP Female?
@MrButterHoles I don't think so. There is no specific part in the files for sprinting or running animation. (Maybe I'm wrong, going to check when I have time.)
@jjj777 It already works for MP female and male, but if you have any problems, contact me on Discord: "chriswolfgang".
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!
