Who animated the new DLC weapons
This thread is just me nitpicking, so take it as you will. This is also ONLY about the animations, nothing about stats.

Because I'm really sorry to say this but they're just.... bad. What happened to the old animator (or animators, I don't really know myself) overkill?

The shotgun's animation is just all over the place, i appreciate the attempt of being tacticool with how a full reload (side load) has a different animation to a partial one (bottom load) but the execution just looks really subpar but flashy. The dual-shell loading is a cool idea but it just looks sloppy (and buggy too as you can't even see the shells load in half of the time).

The FMG i can give points for being creative but again it just feels sloppy in execution. The pull out / pull in animation is a fun watch but the reload animation just looks subpar (compared to all the other SMGs, but you can say the same for the other weapons in this DLC). Also this might not be the animator's fault but what the hell is with the recoil, it feels like I'm firing .50 AE with broken arms, one handed.

The pistol... I don't really have anything to say about it. It looks cool but that's the only thing i can really praise it for (aesthetically). Animation's okay overall, no complaints on it imho.

as a hobby animator and modeller, I find the shotty animations very nice
the fmg is fine makes my kid brain also release some dopamine, btw camera shake and recoil stuff isnt handled by animators tho
the pistol is just simple, its just a pistol.

I just think OVK is chucking anything hoping something sticks to the wall. Kits are the gimmick now. We now go into the Sci fi territory as they are running out of real world guns. So now fantasy.

Should show him something like a K11, some guns get really funky.

The pistol is the only thing using legacy animations, John Wick's pistol animations.

I have to admit the reload animation for the FMG is a bit wonky. I don't use SMG's without reload buffs anymore, so the animation sped up looks awful.

I still can't figure out why the animation sticks the mag behind the grip before putting inside.

And while I think its amazing they put in a holster animation (following a year of reusing existing animations), the 40th times you've seen it and had to wait for it to finish you're sick of it.
I want to throw a grenade, but I have to close my gun up all neat and tidy before I can.
