Mixed Grip
by Sinai | My Mods | My GitHub

Mixed Grip allows you to toggle melee weapons between one-handed and two-handed on custom keybind, similar to Dark Souls. This integrates seamlessly with the game's systems - you can toggle weapons to use skills for the alternate grip class (eg. Puncture, swap to 2H, use Pommel Counter), and the mod will also re-equip your previous off-hand item when you swap back to 1H, where possible.

By default there is also some balancing since the game not balanced for this - 1H weapons will be buffed when they become 2H, and vice versa.

Notes:

• This mod uses custom keybindings for the mixed grip toggle. Set this keybindings in your in-game keybindings.
• Bows and Runic Blades not supported.
• If you want the mod to stop equipping your previous off-hand item, drop it and pick it back up. (or equip a different one)
• If you press the grip toggle hotkey during an attack animation, it will be "queued" until your animations finish (or if it is cancelled).
  

Settings:
- Swap animations when swapping weapon type: The mod will swap to the alternate weapon animations for weapons, where possible.
- Adjust weapon grip automatically: The mod will adjust your grip automatically when you equip and unequip items.
- Balance Weapons: If enabled, the mod will buff weapons that are now 2H, and nerf weapons that are now 1H (since 1H allows off-hand).

You can manage the settings through BepInEx config. I recommend using BepInEx Configuration Manager to adjust the config in-game.

- i've had to disable part of the "automatic swap on equip" logic for online play to fix a bug. The mod will no longer automatically swap a weapon to 1H when you try equip a 2H weapon and already have an off-hand item (or try equip an off-hand while having a 2H weapon).
