Reworked shock bolts and dual-wield poses

Shock troopers charge before releasing a lightning bolt, while scavenged second weapons have a clearer two-handed pose.

I reworked the shock trooper’s attack with a short charge-up and a visible lightning bolt. The wind-up makes the coming strike easier to spot in the middle of a fight.

I also updated the dual-wield pose so a trooper carrying two weapons visibly holds both. In this example, a rifle trooper takes a launcher through the equipment panel and uses the two weapons against training targets.

“The weapon should be readable before the shot lands.”

The footage uses a small encounter set up before recording, with the native weapons, targeting and damage unchanged. It shows standing weapon poses, charge flashes, lightning strikes and rocket impacts.
