Every time I try to do it, no matter when or for how long i open the binoculars while changing, the animation just doesn't skip. Tried it with FPS capped to 15, 30, 60, and uncapped - same result. Anything that might be able to work this out?

Very simple to do, as soon as you press the use button to take the clothes and 47 starts to change, use the binoculars and exit them immediately, 47 will have skipped the animation.

Exactly what I was doing, but to no avail.

just recorded a video of me failing it, maybe that'll provide with more detail in one way or another.

u need push walk/strafe button

Thanks a lot, that did it. Apologies for being dumb.
