Frequently asked questions

What does the MSW Guns' Upswing Data Pack actually do?
It gives the Soulslike Weaponry guns custom Better Combat melee animations and cuts their upswing time to 0.1 seconds. When you hit something up close with the Hunter Pistol, Hunter Blunderbuss, or Gatling Gun, the swing comes out much faster.
Do I need Better Combat for this to work?
Yes. The pack works through Better Combat's melee swing system, so without Better Combat (and Soulslike Weaponry for the guns themselves) it has nothing to apply its animations and timing to.
Which guns get the faster swing?
The Hunter Pistol, the Hunter Blunderbuss, and the Gatling Gun from Soulslike Weaponry. All three use the same fast 0.1-second upswing when you melee with them.
What does 'upswing 0.1 seconds' mean in game?
Upswing is the wind-up part of a Better Combat attack, before your hit actually lands. At 0.1 seconds (2 in-game ticks), the gun connects almost as soon as you press attack, so you can strike mobs that get too close without a long wind-up.
