Animations

Adds a large set of hand, weapon and body animations so your soldier handles gear the way a real one would, plus a weapon sling, tactical rifle stances, and emotes for goofing around or signalling your team.

Tactical stances

• Hold the rifle in a ready position that sits high or low by itself depending on nearby cover and teammates, or in a tucked-in compressed position for tight spaces.
• Tilt the rifle to shoot around a corner or raise it over cover.
• Several styles of holding the rifle to choose from, with separate styles for autorifles, shotguns and snipers.
• Lower the gun in ready, sprint in ready, and get a port-arms pose when the gun is lowered.
• Doors and ladders get their own animations, and you can shoot from a ladder.
• Adjust your walking speed with the mouse wheel.

Rifle sling

• Sling the rifle on your back and pull it out again with one key, or swap with a rifle that is already slung.
• Several sling items (single-point, three-point, lanyard) with three animation styles.
• Sling and unsling actions on the ACE self-interaction menu.
• Slinging can require a sling item, block sprinting, and unsling automatically when you open the arsenal.

Handling gear

• Animations for changing weapon attachments, flipping night vision, opening the map, UAV terminal, watch and compass, inspecting your gun or grenade, and using a clacker.
• Throw your weapon, or drop it in front of you. Drop chemlights at your feet.
• ACE extras: escorting a captive, carrying and lifting, and a grenade hold animation.
• Tap or squeeze a teammate's shoulder or leg.

Emotes and signals

• Dances and exercises, hand emotes, door and stack signals, formation signals and the standard ACE hand signals, each with its own keybind slot and ACE menu entry. Individual ones can be switched off.
• AI play hand signals when given orders.

Sound and camera

• Foley sounds for maps, UAV terminal, inventory and taking or putting items, with individual volumes.
• Optional camera shake on gestures.
