This mod gives you full control over when to raise or lower your weapon using a dedicated hotkey. It works by sending "actor actions" to trigger the appropriate animations, ensuring a smooth and immersive experience.
One of the key features of this mod is its minimal impact on vanilla records, making it highly compatible with other mods. To prevent the game from automatically lowering your weapon, the mod sets the player’s relaxed state timer to 9999. This means your stance is now entirely controlled by you through the hotkey—no more unwanted auto-lowering during downtime.
The mod works with all weapons, including melee weapons, providing consistent control across the board. The default hotkey is X, but it's fully customizable via the included .ini file. Clear instructions are provided in the file for changing it to a key of your choice.
Whether you're playing in first-person or third-person, the mod works seamlessly in both views, giving you consistent control over your weapon stance at any time.
Simple, lightweight, and immersive—just the way it should be.
