Aside from dancing around dead bodies in an attempt to find the proper pointing spot for "Press E to skin", my most frustrating issue with Far Cry 3 is the amount of time it takes for the looting or skinning animation to play whenever I take these actions.

It seems like the game skips these animations in some cases (I've seen it 2 or 3 times) but no alternate application of the E key during skinning/looting changes the animation duration. Have I stumbled upon a bug with the animation skipping or is there something I can do to skip the animation myself?

  • I too have seen the case where the animation doesn't play. I think it's simply a case where your character isn't physically in the right spot for the animation to play (i.e. the animation would cause your character to clip into a neighboring object). That said, a way to skip those animations would be awesome.

  • Anyone know if skipping skinning/looting animations can be modded into the game?

    you just need to replace the animation file with one that's faster just google for invalidanim.mab for full instructions

Unfortunately, there is not a way to stop the animations unless the body is ragdolled in such a way that the animation is prevented from happening.

The only way is to opt for the Loot Takedown skill, which will automatically loot enemies on a takedown. But after the bullets start flying, takedowns aren't easily executed.
