Unarmed: Unarmed, Brass Knuckles, Spiked Knuckles, Power Fist, Rocks, Boxing Gloves Now, let's separate every weapon from the games into the categories Likewise, Unarmed and Brass Knuckles will use the Unarmed animation. For example, the Knife and Ripper are both counted as knives and thus both will have a knife sprite animation. Its also why its ill-advised to use weapons besides melee before you complete the Temple of Trials in Fallout 2 because the Tribal sprites lack a lot of animations.Įvery weapon is separated into different categories and use the same sprite. This means that every companion has a certain limit to what they will use. Now whether due to time constraints or as a way to balance certain NPCs, not all sprites have the same animations. Unlike the Bethesda-era titles, the games use sprites for the characters you see in these games. Here to talk about weapon sprites and thus, your companions' capability to use weapons.
