[xdR] Slow First Hits for Commons

Description
In vanilla, there is roughly a 1/6 chance for a zombie to pull a fast sneaky first punch.
If you despise that kind of bad luck sh!te then this mod is for you.
Their slowest first swing is 25 frames. Other swings start with 14, 19, 21, 22 frames, etc...
This mod makes all of their first swings 25 frames, as slow as their slowest one. No more quick beech slaps.

This mod alone can make Expert feel like Normal Mode. (exaggeration)
But you can now easily dodge their first swings by stepping back a little.

Only works in single/local. On other servers, attack speed is normal, just the first swing looks slower.


Slot 8

extremely useful for those goofy ass l4d1 females and especially for players that aren't very close to the server. What a massive chad.

female zombies without this mod are a menace to society

@dev1ce

Thought it was common knowledge that common attacks were random? Oh well..

so it is real, common attack anims do actually vary in length. And i always thought it was related to latency whenever the commons would smack me instantly, thanks Valve:steamsalty::steamsalty:

But it helps if youre playing with friends that are from overseas.

But it only works for local/single

I kinda said it as a joke but very neat! Useful if you want to use melee with high ping.
