Idle Animations and Alternative Reload Animations

[Seria602]

A lot of games have the exact same reload, sprint, and carry animations for each object. I think it would be worth it to create a few functionally-same but aesthetically different animations for weapons and carrying weapons (for example, reloading by bringing the gun up in one animation and a seperate animation where the gun is only tilted to reload it, both of which last the same time, but are different looking). Or when you have a spear, sometimes you run with it like normal (straight-forward) and at other times you carry it in one hand and carry it as if it was an over-sized flashlight. Thanks for reading/listening!
