Fallout 4 - All Weapons Reload Animations 

It’s wild how drastic the quality varies between the weapons, you can tell some are complete rush jobs and some are made with passion.

Lmao, I love how in Fallout you can carry about 50 cannonballs, missiles and MIRV rounds all at once; but if you pick up just one piece of paper too many, you're overencumbered.

you missed a few for the rocket launcher, when all the barrels have diffrent reload animations because the rocket capacity increases

2:39 I love how the Minigun reload is just upward pointing and clanking sounds lmao

Without the music, and if you ignore the awkward animations I'm actually impressed with the sound effects more then anything

The thirst zapper actually does have a reload animation, you just have to fire it 1000 times.

Woah, I don’t recall about 30-40% of those weapons at all, and I’ve played Fallout 4 for long enough that I’ve maxed out all my strengths.

The 44 reload animation will always be hilarious to me. The lone survivor somehow grabs six revolver bullets and perfectly loads them all at once without a speed loader... you have any idea how impossible that is?! And in the middle of a fire fight?! 🤣🤣

I find the combat rifles and combat shotguns reload to be pretty stiff, but for some reasons I like the cryolators and plasma guns reload to be pretty satisfying

Why the hell all the rifles are left handed, while the character uses on the right?

0:45 pause quickly and you'll see that the pipe gun's drum magazine has modelled some strips of metal to the side of it, meant to be fixed to the gun's frame but they clip through the entire gun when the drum is pulled out. Also, the AK-47's release lever is indeed worked, although it's really quick and the player's thumb rather phases through it but the release still moves as if it's being pushed.

I love how so many guns are just a similar animation to Combat Rifle

i hate how some of the creation club weapons have no reload animation. i understand why modders can't do it alone, but bethesda's own devs should have made new ones instead of selling unfinished work

1:42 Never noticed the radium rifle’s barrel pulls back as well when reloading damn

0:58 *sees AM with a left handed bolt* Look how they massacred my boy

I love how that’s more akin to a testing map for animations or testing if mechanics work in game development. Hopefully I can mess around in one once I can hopefully get a job I the field.

The inconsistency in these reloads is legendary; the minigun, in third person, only slightly removes the drum and reinserts it as if nothing happened, the assault rifle simply inserts the magazine, not bothering to move the hammer, energy rifles only insert a fusion cell as a single magazine, but each shot counts as a single cell, perhaps they tried to replicate the laser cannon system, but out of laziness or lack of time, they left it like that, and the same happens with the gamma weapon, it loads 3 radioactive cells, but the ammunition is counted as multiple individual cells.

At least the camera movement doesn't make you dizzy like in FO3...

i like how the sole survivor has to physically YANK the magazine out of pipe weapons because there probably isnt a magazine release

It’s ridiculous how much of the screen some of these guns take up. You can’t see what’s going on.

People always complain about how unrealistic pipe weapons would be and how they'd explode- I wonder how those grips could ever be comfortable with how thick they are

Idk why the double barrel shotgun is weaker in all states than combat shotgun , because of that i throw it once i got the combat shotgun unless if it has endless ammo legendary

This video is a great reference when brainstorming ideas for weapon concepts, so I can try to come up with ideas to play on these animations for new kinds of weapons. Who knows, maybe I'll eventually finish a project that actually turns out well.

I'll never get over their weird affinity for left handed weapons in this game. All the prior were right handed, but not here. *_Weird._*

Some of these weapons look intimidating to hold. I cant imagine what it must feel like for the peraon standing on the opposing end.

People always say that the revolver doesn’t use moon clips, even though it literally does.

>Paid Mods >Still can't be brotherd to make custom animations

With the squirt gun if you have project Cobalt it has special relay animations if you craft the ammo for it

Also, as someone who is starting to try and make mods for FO4, another fun thing with the combat rifle anim is the cover for the ejection port (or maybe its just part of the bolt showing in the ejection port?) does not open all the way, only halfway... Of course, you'd never really notice it as it's one of the rare weapons with right-handed ejection, but it's there and happens. The charging handle pull is too short, and the ejection port cover is just part of what's classified as the bolt in the model. Oh, it also has modelled .308 rounds in the mag despite being chambered in .45 and only have 1 rechamber option in .308 It's like it was made to be a .308 battle rifle and someone went at last minute and changed it to .45

1:51 choo choo

Never realized how many different guns are locked behind the creation club

Thank God for Mods .

Is it just me, or does the 10mm pistol always look UNNECESSARILY heavy?

3:55 where the heck did you get the BFG 9000

Feels like watching a clip of reload and also reload sins at the same time

I love that all the weapons were modeled with the breaches and bolts on the wrong side, quality

You should know that just loading the magazine and hitting the bash key cancels the full reload animation and will still fire. It cuts half a second of cocking the bolt much easier. Just keep an eye on your ammo count, when 0 goes to full immediately, hit f. It also helps with melee berserker units like raiders or super mutants.

I wish fallout 4 had more weapons like nv

Should've shown the 3rd person reload for the mini gun. The player character just takes the mag (whatever tf you call it on a minigun) out and slams it right back in.

1:03 chill out I think we got the picture that it's definitely an assault rifle

Something i realised about the errors in this desings is that the bolt action thingy are in the right side instead of the left, which makes the animation turn out weird, same thing happens with the crank in the Prototype Gauss Rifle and the Laser Musket, the crack should be in the left side of the gun and while you crack it you should be holding it with your left hand from the body and not from the stock

Just noticed the subtitles, well done lol

Man replaying this game and seeing these animations make me want to gouge my eyes out

Railway rifle…toot toot all aboard the pain train!

Reload animations that really represent the game. Bland.

I like how they go from the pipe weapon animations to a fucking anti material rifle

I’ve always been curious and a bit confused by this-I think I know what I’m talking about but correct if I’m wrong: When FPS game animators and modelers make firearms for their game that are modeled with lefties in mind (like having a bolt-action rifle like a Kar98K have the bolt be on the left hand side rather than the right side-same thing with AK) do they do that because the modelers and animators are left handed or is there another reason?

Two things I always found cursed about some of the aminations: 1.left handed rifles 2.*riding the bolt forward*😡

You missed one: The Laser Musket with its unique "Automatic" legendary effect has a different reload animation

Some of those guns look insane.

Still pissed off that most of these eject the casings across your vision rather than away to the side

*flips Paddle Ball* Bring it on!

The revolver actually uses what appears to be a speed loader just without a way to remove it from the cylinder so I guess that at the way the gun is designed in-game the speed loader is supposed to be integrated into the revolver which would explain why the bullets are pushed out as if they're all attached to something and don't go in random directions that they would in real life which is definitely an interesting choice on the animators part whoever it's not flawless as in real life the injection rod would just go straight through the hole in the middle all those are some little metal decoration parts The edge so maybe I'm wrong

Good video but there is a little mistake on subtitles "As it CLOUD damage the crane" multiple times.

The only thing i like from Fallout4 is combat motions. Enemies can hide and shoot while 3 and nv was just charging and shooting. Pistol aiming motion is changed from one handed grip to two handed grip, which is more tactical and accurate.

honestly i quite enjoy the reloads on a lot of these weapons. something about them just feels right to me with the pace and smoothness. i think what bothers me the most is the weird designs some of the weapons have that affects the reloads. the left-handed weapons are one thing, but weapons like the combat rifle/shotgun, assault rifle and some pipe weapons look really bad to me and just kinda bog them down.

those anims were incredibly lazily made

How the heck does the paddle ball animation work? The sole survivor just flips it and bam, a new string has been attached.

I really love these animations unironcally. They have a very nice 1,2,3 timing about them (the laser rife/pisto, missle launcher, minigun are polly the best examples imo) and I find them to be more preferable than those super realistic reloads everyone mods into their games. Most likely since they're consistent with the other guns in the game but it's a very casual/simple reload.

Turn the captions on guys, he has commentary in them

In (far) over 2000 hours in fallout 4, I've never held a gatling laser. I don't think i ever even owned one

the amount of bullets in game you’d waste from pulling the charging handle when a bullet is already chambered

Where dyou get the acid soaker? And i cant figure out how to get the tesla cannon, i have the dlc but the quest never shows

the main problem I have with fallout 4's weapons is their overall blandness. especially when it comes to sounds.

CC 모드는 공식 모드이기 때문에 돈주고 사서 적용 시켜야 쓸수 있지만 오히려 유저들이 만든 모드가 더 강력하다고...

Watching this reminds me that half the guns in this game have such terrible reload animations. The combat rifle, combat shotgun, maxwell rifles, submachine gun, radium rifles and probably others I can't think of right now all have the EXACT same animation. Almost all weapon mods have kick ass animations like the Service Rifle for example has a multitude of custom and immersive animations.

The Salvaged Assaultron Head reminds me of the Mauler from Perfect Dark.

but the revolver does have moon clips if you look closely

Whoever designed these animation in bethesda, that person never ever fired nor watched how weapons are made and reload

Pain when you realise reload animations differ depending on the modifications the weapon has

Оболдеть много какого оружия я даже не видел в фолыче, хотя все длц и дополнения стоят

Where do you get the deliverer pistol or triple barrel shotgun? Edit: NM the shot gun question

Once you realize that the guns are all left-handed (Yet still being fired right-handed), you can't unsee it.

Man what the fqck is ar design this lmao Now i see this ar since i played only NV

All the receivers being on the left side is so bizarre. Like it wouldnt make sense because youd have bullets going in your face

I mean like how he uses only 1 finger to load all six bullets into the revolver, while none of the six bullets actually made contact with the finger.

Can't wait to see how fuck up Starfield guns reload

1:03 "ASSAULT RIFLE ASSAULT RIFLE ASSAULT RIFLE ASSAULT RIFLE ASSAULT RIFLE ASSAULT RIFLE ASSAULT RIFLE ASSAULT RIFLE" I love captions

Bethesda should take notes from Infinity Ward on how to do some good reload animations for once.

The db in any video game makes me feel doom vibes

I like that the creation club guns are included in this. But it still annoys me that they reused a lot of vanilla animations for them witch is lazy af. Modded guns are where it’s at in this game because they almost always have custom animations and are free

I expected so much about this game like wtf a left handed rifle bolt???

there's a problem with many of the animations that don't make sense: -.44 revolver/pipe revolver: Character always reloads 6 shots even if one bullet is fired, and it looks like a speed loader may be employed, there's no model -Break action shotguns: character reloads 2(3 for CC shotgun) even if only one shot is fired -pipe bolt action: there's not visible internal magazine system -normal pipe guns: magazine is placed too far from the receiver to actually work -lever action rifle: always reloads 5 shots even if one bullet is fired -Submachine gun: a tommy gun is an open bolt gun so why the bolt is closed is unknown. -Flamer: the character just replaces the small tank but not the giant tank on the bottom -minigun: character just takes out the drum and pulls another one out of nowhere. they don't even move the ammo belt into place then shake the gun -Broadsider: only loads cannon balls but not powder or any kind of propellent. the way a cannon works is that a propellent like gunpowder is used to launch the ball, but there seems to be none, also the multi-shot makes no sense as the cannon would either fire all the balls out at once or explode in your face -Laser musket. if the thing takes fusion cells, why is the crank even there? it looks like the crank connects to a mechanical generator to generate energy that would be used to fire, and there's also no place for the cell to go

Very VERY satisfying...

Idk why I expected different animations for each gun

If you flip this video It's literally how it feels to be left handed as a shooter

The animations are good, I just don’t like how the manually push the bolt forward instead of letting it go

What? I dont even recognise a lot of these guns like the manwell? Heavy incenarator? Protttyp gauss gun, aline atomizer, brg and cosmic?

3:57 does that gun inspired in doom eternal? Cause they also have the same name and they're both really big

Why are the double-action revolvers cocked single-action? What's with all the left-handed bolt-actions since every in-world character is right-handed? Why doesn't your character chamber-load the levergun? Otherwise, all the high-tech and industrial weapons are awesome.

3:47 Similarities reloads between Alien Atomizer

1:44 I call this Radium rifle, "Volkssturmgewehr."

Bro I didn't even know the BFG 9000 was in fallout 4

This is why mods are great.

I like how these animations are somewhat worse than the ones in fallout NV

These reloads were interesting

Every single gun in this game has like 4-5 issues with them. You can tell they filled in the blank and didn’t bother to hire a weapons advisor.

1:57 the sub machine gun is I believe modeled after Thompson submachinegun and the Thompson submachine gun is an open bolt SMG meaning you would not close the bolt

Something feels off about how the bolt is grabbed on most weapons, not sure what it is

Paddle ball was the best one
