Shadow Warrior 2 - How to change weapon model FOV (console command)
Greetings, everyone. A small tweak-guide video for Shadow Warrior 2 this time, I found that the weapon FOV can be changed using a console command, something not very common in modern games, so it’s always welcome. To access the in game console, we need to press Ctrl and the Tilde keys, or the key above TAB or to the left of the “1” key, depending on your keyboard setup, mine being a Spanish keyboard it’s that key above TAB. Now, once we’re in the console, we can type the weapon FOV command like this: “r_weapon_fov”, without quotes and then enter, and the game will tell us the default FOV, 50, and it’s a vertical FOV just like the normal view FOV which can be set in the video options menu. From this point is up to you to experiment with different values, I found comfortable with anything from 60 to 70, higher FOVs start looking a bit too stupid and with more geometry errors on the arms and weapons, but 60 looks just fine and the weapon is not so close to our face anymore, so it feels a bit more natural especially when using a normal view game FOV of 79 like I use. As far as I know, using the console to change this weapon FOV doesn’t screw with our achievements or anything like that, I’m still not absolutely sure but usually games warn us about this, I didn’t get any warning; also, I haven’t tested this in Multiplayer…I don’t know if there are any restrictions applied there because I haven’t played online yet. As usual, I hope this small guide is useful to any of you, and I’ll see you next time : )
