Make upperbody less Rigid

[fluid obsidian]

Trying to figure out how to loosen up the upperbody when holding guns so I can make it react to recoil more. Its also very stiff when walking

Recoil layer perhaps?

The recoil is designed for the arms only, and it does not affect the upper body at the current state. You could try extending the recoil layer by propagating recoil effect on the whole body

And by default the upper body is completely overridden by the playables system, so that's why it looks stiff when walking. It's a requirement for the first-person perspective, so you run into some limitations here

is there any value i can modify so that it’s not completely overriding the upper body? ideally i would modify it when switching between third and first person

Yes, you can edit it by using core.animGraph.SetGraphWeight(smoothLayerAlpha), similar to how it's handled in the locomotion layer
